John Bishop's new tour comes to Portsmouth's Guildhall - date and how to get tickets

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

The show is one of 86 dates across the country – including a number of shows that will be signed by a BSL interpreter - will also see John extend the tour into 2025. He is due to appear at the Portsmouth Guildhall on February 15 2025, before heading to the Mayflower in Southampton the following day. The nearest BSL show will take place in Brighton's Theatre Royal on February 27 2025. Tickets will go on-sale at 10am on Friday, March 22 at JohnBishopOnline.com.

John said: “I’m delighted to be adding these additional dates to my 'Back At It' tour. The work in progress shows started about 10 days ago - the juices are flowing again and the response from the audiences has been incredible. I’m looking forward to seeing many more of you out there on the road.”
