Today, comedy superstar John Bishop announces a major USA and Canada tour for autumn 2026 with a brand-new show, Here's John Bishop.
Promoted by Live Nation, Here’s John Bishop includes a stop at Boch Center - Shubert Theatre in Boston, MA, on October 16, 2026.
Hot on the heels of John’s sold-out critically acclaimed international ‘25’ tour last year - which celebrated his incredible quarter of a century career as a comedian - the comedy superstar will play some of the biggest venues in the USA and Canada in October.
John said: “I really enjoyed touring across the pond with my last show, so I can't wait to come back in autumn with ‘Here's John Bishop’. Nothing beats being on a stage and hearing people laugh. I am looking forward to working on the show and developing new material because I know it will come round fast. And if my last tour was anything to go by, people are really ready for a good laugh.”
This tour follows the major success 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.
TICKETS: Tickets will first be available starting with the artist presale beginning on Wednesday February 18 at 10 am. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, February 20 at 10 am at Ticketmaster.com.

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 and released the fastest selling stand-up DVD in UK history.
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); ‘The John Bishop Christmas Show’ (BBC1) and ‘John Bishop’s Gorilla Adventure’ (ITV1), ‘John Bishop’s Ireland’ (ITV1) and four series of the critically acclaimed ‘John Bishop: In Conversation With…’ (W Channel) 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), ‘Doctor
Who’ (BBC1) and the documentary John & Joe Bishop: Life After Deaf (ITV1).
2023 saw John star in the UK & 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. The tour included legs in Europe, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
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’.
