John Bishop is going back on tour and will play Harrogate Convention Centre in May

After two years spent TV presenting, stage acting, podcast hosting, dog walking and decorating the spare room, John is getting back to the thing he loves most; standing on stage and making people laugh.

His huge tour kicks off in Bromley on March 9 and he will play 57 dates at a host of venues throughout next year, including Harrogate Convention Centre on Saturday May 11.

Announcing the new tour, John said: “I’m delighted to be hitting the road again with my new show Back At It.

"I did a few gigs in New York and some over in Ireland and I’ve got the juices flowing again! I’m looking forward to seeing you all out there on the road.”

The tour also visits the Victoria Theatre, Halifax, on Friday May 17 and two dates at York Barbican, Thursday September 5 and Friday September 6.

John Bishop has had an incredible career. Within three years of his first comedy gig in 2000, John was playing to sold-out arena audiences across the country and released the fastest-selling stand-up DVD in UK history.

The John Bishop Show (BBC1); The John Bishop Christmas Show (BBC1) and John Bishop’s Gorilla Adventure (ITV1); John Bishop’s Ireland’ (ITV1) and four series of the critically acclaimed John Bishop: In Conversation With… (W Channel) which saw him chatting one to one with some of the biggest names in entertainment, music and sport.

Other TV credits include two series of The John Bishop Show (ITV1), ‘Doctor Who (BBC1) and the documentary John and Joe Bishop: Life After Deaf (ITV1).
