John Bishop will bring his new stand-up show Let’s Go Round Again to Brighton Centre on Saturday 8 May 2027.
The Sussex concert forms part of a UK and Ireland tour running through April and May. It follows 25, the tour which marked his quarter-century in comedy, with Bishop now developing a new show rather than extending the anniversary programme.
Why John Bishop is heading back on tour
In the Brighton announcement, Bishop said he had initially expected to take a break after his previous tour but had enjoyed performing too much to stay away.
He said: “Nothing beats being on a stage and hearing people laugh.”
The new tour gives Sussex audiences a spring date at the seafront venue. Brighton sits between Nottingham and Bournemouth on the published route, with the Royal Albert Hall and Liverpool following later in the same week.
Where have you seen John Bishop before?
Alongside his stand-up career, Bishop has worked across entertainment, interviews, documentaries and drama. His management’s television credits include The John Bishop Show, John Bishop: In Conversation With… and Doctor Who.
Other credits include John Bishop’s Ireland, John Bishop’s Australia and John & Joe Bishop: Life After Deaf, reflecting the travel and personal documentary work that has run alongside his comedy.
The tour announcement also notes the film Is This Thing On?, directed by Bradley Cooper and inspired by Bishop’s life. The Brighton booking is for Bishop’s stand-up performance, rather than a screening or an event with the film’s cast.
