Comedian John Bishop has added five new dates to his UK and Ireland tour following demand. The Liverpool talent is celebrating 25 years of stand-up, with extra dates confirmed for the M&S Bank Arena.

The tour marks John's 10th on-the-road experience and includes a return to Manchester's Frog and Bucket venue where he first started in 2000. To mark the anniversary, every ticket at every show will be £25 (plus fees).

John said: “I can't believe that next year it will be 25 years since I first performed at the Frog and Bucket in Manchester. It's been a rollercoaster. I can't thank the fans enough who have supported me all the way.

"I wanted to mark the anniversary with a brand-new tour and do something to say thank you so every ticket throughout the tour will be £25. I really hope you can come and celebrate with me."

Earlier this year, John ventured on a sold-out international tour, marking his first stand-up show in two years. John will return to Liverpool and perform at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on October 24 and 25, 2025.

The new batch of tour tickets will be released on Friday, November 8, at 10am. You can purchase tickets here.
