John Bishop

"A comic revolutionary… Not to be missed" - The Independent

"If you fail to laugh like a lunatic, check yourself into a mortuary: You are probably dead" Metro

"The most exciting thing to emerge from the Manchester comedy scene since Peter Kay" City Life

John Bishop performed stand-up comedy for the first time in October 2000, and the following year made it to the final of all the major new act competitions, including So You Think You're Funny, the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Awards, the BBC New Comedy Awards and the City Life North West Comedian of The Year Award, which he won.

In 2002, he was named best newcomer by BBC Radio Merseyside, and in 2004 he won the North West Comedy Award for best stand-up. And in 2009, he was nominated for the Ediburgh Comedy Award

His material is drawn from his life's experiences, from fatherhood to cycling around the world, to playing semi- professional football, to working as a nightclub doorman.
