A quarter of a century since his first show at The Frog and Bucket, John Bishop returns to where it all began. On 2 October 2000, John Bishop stepped onto that stage in Manchester to perform his first ever comedy gig in front of just a handful people. He was working by day in the pharmaceutical industry, but that night, as he picked up the mic and performed for the very first time, he changed his life forever.

Now, the comedy superstar is embarking on his tenth stand-up tour John Bishop: 25, to celebrate his incredible 25 year career. Going right back to where it started, he will stop off at The Frog & Bucket in Manchester on Monday 13 October 2025.

John Bishop 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!  And 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.”
