John Bishop

Comedian, TV presenter and actor John Bishop took a less travelled route into show business. Born and raised in Liverpool, the younger Bishop was a semi-professional footballer for Southport and Hyde United, following in the footsteps of older brother Eddie, who played professionally for Tranmere Rovers, Chester City and Crewe Alexandria.

In November 2023, Bishop announced the Back At It! UK tour, kicking off 9 March and ending March 2025. In 2024, the comedy superstar announced that he would be embarking on his tenth stand-up tour, John Bishop: 25, to celebrate his incredible 25-year career.
