John Bishop: Let's Go Round Again
Utilita Arena Newcastle
Thursday 6th May 2027
Comedy favourite John Bishop is bringing his brand-new show to Newcastle as part of a major UK and Ireland tour this spring. Fresh from last year's triumphant '25' tour celebrating his quarter-century in comedy, the Liverpool-born comedian proves he's far from ready to slow down.
Why This Show Matters
Bishop's journey from his first gig in October 2000 to becoming one of Britain's most beloved comedians is nothing short of remarkable. Within just three years of starting out, he was packing arenas nationwide and breaking records with the fastest-selling stand-up DVD in UK history. His recent Back At It international tour, which wrapped at the London Palladium in April 2025, was completely sold out across multiple continents.
"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," Bishop explains. "Nothing beats being on a stage and hearing people laugh."
Beyond Stand-Up
While Bishop is best known for his stand-up, North East audiences will recognise him from an impressive array of television work. His documentary and entertainment shows have taken viewers from Australia to Ireland, while his four series of 'John Bishop: In Conversation With…' featured intimate chats with entertainment, music and sport's biggest names. He's even appeared in Doctor Who and proved his theatrical chops in 2023's Mother Goose alongside Sir Ian McKellen, which enjoyed a successful West End run.
This year sees Bishop return to BBC One Saturday nights with 'Wisdom of the Crowd', an eight-part entertainment series that will keep him in the public eye ahead of the tour.
Film Star Rising
The tour announcement comes at an exciting time for Bishop, coinciding with the 30th January cinema release of 'Is This Thing On?', a film inspired by his life and directed by Bradley Cooper, who also stars alongside Will Arnett and Laura Dern.
What to Expect
If the success of his recent tours is anything to go by, Newcastle audiences are in for a treat. Bishop's observational style and natural warmth have made him a consistent arena-filler, and Let's Go Round Again promises to deliver exactly what fans want: an evening of genuine laughter with one of Britain's most relatable comedians.
As Bishop himself notes, "people are really ready for a good laugh" – and based on his track record, he's exactly the person to deliver it.
