John Bishop tour 2027: UK dates, prices and age rules by venue

The John Bishop tour 2027 is his new stand-up show, Let’s Go Round Again: fourteen nights from Thursday 29 April in Leeds to Sunday 16 May in Dublin. As of 31 October 2026, the Royal Albert Hall in London has sold out and most other dates are on sale. Official prices start from £25 plus fees.

Every date, with live listings, is on the John Bishop tickets page.

What are the John Bishop tour 2027 dates?

The John Bishop tour 2027 dates cover twelve UK arenas, one London concert hall and a last night in Dublin, which is in Ireland. Times come from official pages. The status is Ticketmaster’s on 31 October 2026, except Dublin, from 27 October.

“Doors” is when the building opens, and “show” is the start on the venue’s page. “Listed” is the seller’s time, usually the start of the evening. OVO Hydro says stage times are typically confirmed 2-3 days before the event.

“Low availability” is Ticketmaster’s own label. His website still calls the Belfast arena the SSE Arena, its old name. It became The O2 Belfast in July 2026.

What is Let’s Go Round Again?

Let’s Go Round Again is a brand-new stand-up comedy show by John Bishop, which means one comedian on stage telling jokes and stories. Connexin Live says it follows his sold-out 25 tour, which marked his 25 years as a comedian.

It suits adults and older teenagers who enjoy a big night of comedy. It is not one for younger children, as several venues set an age limit.

How do you buy John Bishop tickets?

You buy John Bishop tickets from the sellers linked beside each date on johnbishoponline.com, his official website. General sale, the sale open to everyone, opened at 10am on 30 January 2026, so there is no presale left to register for.

1. Choose a night from the table, and a second choice.
2. Open his website or the venue’s event page, and follow the link for that date.
3. Check the age rule for your venue before you pick seats.
4. Stay within the limit. OVO Hydro allows 6 tickets per person.
5. Read your confirmation to see how your ticket reaches you.

The seller changes by city, so one Ticketmaster search may not show everything:

• Leeds and Birmingham: both venues name AXS, another ticket company, as their ticket partner.
• Liverpool: M&S Bank Arena links to Ticket Quarter, its box office site.
• Cardiff: Live Nation UK lists the date.
• Belfast and Dublin: Ticketmaster sells these through its Irish site.

How much are John Bishop tour 2027 tickets?

John Bishop tour 2027 tickets start from £25 plus fees at Utilita Arena Birmingham, the lowest official price published on 31 October 2026. Fees are charges added on top, so compare the total at checkout. Other venues show a price once you pick a seat.

Birmingham also sells four premium packages with fast-track entry and a premium seat, but shows no prices. The O2 Belfast sells private suites from £1080 for 12 seats, and on 27 October 2026 its suites and lounge showed low availability. Newcastle’s Venue Premium tickets had sold out that day.

These extras suit a group or a special occasion. They are not worth it if you only want to hear the jokes.

Can children see John Bishop on tour?

Children under 14 cannot see John Bishop at several venues, and The O2 Belfast is for over-16s only. His website gives no age rating, so each venue sets its own rule. Check yours before you book.

Disabled fans have their own routes. In Leeds, wheelchair and ambulant tickets are online through AXS, with a free personal assistant ticket if you need one. Ambulant means you can walk but need easier access.

In Liverpool, call the box office on 0344 8000 400, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. You also need a Nimbus registration number, which proves you qualify.

Where should you sit for John Bishop?

The best seat for John Bishop is one facing the stage, because stand-up relies on hearing every word and seeing his face. Leeds suits comedy well, as the First Direct Bank Arena is fan-shaped and every tier looks straight at the stage. It also says this is a seated show.

• First big comedy night? Pick a raised seat facing the stage, not one at the far side.
• Going to Glasgow? Most Level 2 and Level 3 seats at OVO Hydro are reached by stairs only.
• Buying for a group? OVO Hydro’s limit of 6 tickets applies per person, so agree who is buying first.

See the First Direct Arena seating plan and the OVO Hydro seating plan. Other shows are on First Direct Arena tickets and OVO Hydro tickets.

Which John Bishop night should you choose?

The easiest John Bishop nights to book are the nine UK dates with no low-availability label on 31 October 2026. These are Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Hull, Newcastle, Nottingham, Cardiff, Liverpool and Belfast.

• Want a weekend? Sunday 2 May in Manchester and Saturday 15 May in Belfast show no such label.
• Near London? The Royal Albert Hall has sold out and Brighton shows low availability, so Nottingham and Cardiff are the nearest nights without that label.
• Have a school night or an early start? Manchester lists a 7pm show, earlier than the 7.30pm shows elsewhere.

How do you get to the John Bishop venues?

You get to most John Bishop venues by train or tram, but three need a plan. Check your last train before you buy, and leave time for the walk.

• Royal Albert Hall, London: South Kensington and High Street Kensington stations are ten to fifteen minutes’ walk away, and neither is step-free. For a step-free route, take the Tube to Green Park, then the number 9 bus to Kensington Gore.
• Co-op Live, Manchester: late trams run until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, so check the timetable for this Sunday.
• Utilita Arena Birmingham: this tour plays the city-centre arena, not bp pulse LIVE at the NEC, which is a different building.

What are the usual mistakes when buying John Bishop tickets?

The usual mistakes with John Bishop tickets are ignoring the age rule, trusting a listed time and missing a seller.

• Booking for a younger teenager without checking. Belfast turns away under-16s, whatever other venues allow.
• Treating a listed time as a stage time. Doors usually open earlier than the show.
• Searching only Ticketmaster. Leeds, Birmingham and Liverpool also point to other sellers.
• Buying a premium listing by mistake. Venue Premium tickets in Leeds, Glasgow and Hull are separate listings.

What if your John Bishop date is sold out?

If your John Bishop date is sold out, as the Royal Albert Hall is, check Ticketmaster’s own resale first. There, fans list tickets they cannot use at no more than the price they paid. Nottingham and Cardiff are the nearest nights to consider.

Other resale listings for each night sit on the John Bishop dates page.

What to do now (as of 31 October 2026)

As of 31 October 2026, nine UK John Bishop nights are on sale, three show low availability and the Royal Albert Hall has sold out. The first show is in Leeds on Thursday 29 April 2027.

1. Today: pick your city and read its age rule.
2. Before you pay: compare the total with fees, and check your way home.
3. Set on London? Watch Ticketmaster’s resale, or switch to another city.
