John Bishop is to play London’s Royal Albert Hall with his critically acclaimed ‘Supersonic’ show on Thursday 2nd April, 2015. This performance will be recorded for DVD and may be the last time it is ever performed.

On returning to Royal Albert Hall Bishop said: “I’m thrilled with the reaction of this tour; the show has gone brilliantly and so where better than to record the DVD, than at the Royal Albert Hall. I’m really looking forward to the show next year and I hope the fans are too!”

Bishop ended 2013 by hosting the Royal Variety Show before Christmas and his own TV Christmas Special on BBC One. Before this, John starred in John Bishop’s Britain (BBC One) and John Bishop’s Only Joking (Sky 1). He cycled, rowed and ran from Paris to London in his one-off special for Sport Relief John Bishop’s Week of Hell (BBC One), and has been a regular on Sky 1’s A League of their Own in addition to hosting Live at the Apollo. 

2014 saw Bishop return to BBC One with his debut international travelogue for a three part series entitled John Bishop’s Australia which was broadcast in July.  He has also turned to acting under the direction of Ken Loach in ‘Route Irish’ and the critically acclaimed Jimmy McGovern’s series 'Accused’. This Christmas he will host an hour-long special on BBC One. It was recorded at London’s Dominion Theatre and will be broadcast on Monday 22nd December at 9pm.

Bishop quit Twitter recently following abusive tweets after he tweeted a picture of himself joking that he was the new boss of Celtic. On November 28 he posted the following: "I am taking some time off Twitter. I can take anything but when scumbags have a forum to abuse people I love I think it's time to move away."

Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall go on sale on Friday, December 5 at 9am here.
