John Bishop has announced a major UK tour for spring 2027. And local fans will be delighted to know that the brand-new show, Let’s Go Round Again, will come to Hull’s Connexin Live.
It comes hot on the heels of John’s sold-out ’25’ tour last year in which he celebrated his incredible quarter of a century career as a comedian. Joh 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 this tour coincides with the January 30 UK cinema release of the new film ‘Is This Thing On?’, inspired by John’s life and directed by Bradley Cooper. The film also stars Cooper, Will Arnett and Laura Dern.
Since John’s first gig in October 2000, he has achieved so much in his incredible career. Within three years John was playing to sold out arena audiences across the country.
He has achieved huge success with a number of his own comedy, entertainment and documentary TV shows including: ‘John Bishop’s Australia’ (BBC1), ‘John Bishop’s Britain’ (BBC1); ‘John Bishop’s Only Joking’ (Sky1); ‘The John Bishop Show’ (BBC1) and four series of the critically acclaimed ‘John Bishop: In Conversation With…’ which saw him chatting one to one with some of the biggest names in entertainment, music and sport. Other TV credits include two series of ’The John Bishop Show’ (ITV1) and the documentary John & Joe Bishop: Life After Deaf (ITV1).
2023 saw John star in the UK and Ireland tour of Mother Goose with Ian McKellen, which included a hugely successful run in London’s West End. In 2024, he embarked on a major sold-out international tour – Back At It – his first stand-up show in two years, which culminated at the London Palladium in April 2025. Later this year, John makes a welcome return to Saturday nights on BBC One, hosting a brand-new eight-part entertainment series, ‘Wisdom of the Crowd’.
John Bishop will come to Hull’s Connexin Live on May 5 2027. Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 30 at 10am, available to buy from connexinlivehull.com.
