Veteran Liverpool comedian John Bishop has announced a 14-date UK and Ireland tour for 2027, including stops in Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Brighton, Cardiff, London, Liverpool, Belfast, and Dublin.

Bishop’s brand new show, ‘Let’s Go Round Again’, which runs from April to May, sees the seasoned comic taking to the stages of some of the biggest venues in the UK and Ireland.

The tour will follow his sold-out, critically-acclaimed '25' tour last year, which saw him celebrate 25 years as a comedian.

About the tour, Bishop said: “After my 25 tour last year, I thought I would take time off, but I loved it so much I am itching to get on the road again. So, I’ll be going out in the spring of 2027 with my new show, Let's Go Round Again.

“Nothing beats being on a stage and hearing people laugh. I am looking forward to spending this year working on the show and developing new material because I know 2027 will come round fast. And if my last tour was anything to go by, people are really ready for a good laugh.”

The announcement of the tour comes just before the UK cinema release of Is This Thing On?, a film inspired by Bishop’s life and directed by Bradley Cooper, which will hit the screens on 30th January. It stars Cooper alongside Will Arnett and Laura Dern.
