John is looking forward to what he describes as a new adventure, bringing to life and refining his eighth stand-up show. He reports that the vibes are good and it is already shaping up to be his best yet.

John has achieved huge success with a number of his own comedy, entertainment and documentary shows, including 'John Bishop's Australia' (BBC1), 'John Bishop's Britain' (BBC1), 'John Bishop's Only Joking' (Sky1), 'The John Bishop Show' (BBC1) and 'John Bishop's Gorilla Adventure' (ITV1). More recently, John has appeared in 'John Bishop's Ireland' for ITV1 and four series of 'John Bishop: In Conversation With…'.

Coming to ITV this year, John will host a brand-new topical entertainment series in which he will take a look back at the week's events in his own inimitable style. During the show - which will air weekly - he'll be joined by guests, to dissect the news of the week in a light-hearted way.

John Bishop is at the Ipswich Regent on September 18. Tickets are now on sale
