Liverpool funny man Bishop confirms Mayo date on Irish tour

LIVERPOOL funny man John Bishop will be travelling to Belmullet in May to perform in Áras Inis Gluaire as part of his Irish tour.

The comedian's new 'Back at It' will travel to Belmullet on Tuesday, May 28 to perform in Áras Inis Gluaire, which will be his only tour appearance in Mayo. Tickets for the show will go on sale this Monday, February 12 at 10am.

After two years spent TV presenting, stage acting, podcast hosting, dog walking and decorating the spare room, John is getting back to the thing he loves most; standing on stage and making people laugh.

“I’m delighted to be hitting the road again with my new show, ‘Back At It’. I did a few gigs in New York and in the UK and I’ve got the juices flowing again. I’m looking forward to seeing you all out there on the road,” John said of the Irish tour.

Bishop is a regular performer in Ireland with his first television appearance as a comedian taking place on the popular RTÉ show The Panel in 2007.

In 2017, he filmed a television show for ITV called John Bishop's Ireland and visited Mayo where he performed a show in Claremorris during the build up to Mayo's All-Ireland Final appearance against Dublin.

The build-up to the final and final fever around Mayo featured prominently in the tv show and he delighted audiences in Claremorris when he performed his show in the Mayo jersey.

Bishop will also perform in The Black Box Theatre in Galway on May 29, Station House in Clifden on May 30 and Leisureland in Galway on May 31.
