Twenty-five years ago, John Bishop stepped onto the stage at the Frog and Bucket in Manchester to perform his first ever comedy gig in front of just a handful people. John was working in the pharmaceutical industry by day, but that night, he picked up the mic and it changed his life.
John had never watched stand-up, didn’t know any of the rules or conventions and just gave it a go. Since then, he’s been performing to glowing reviews. John is with Jim to talk about Is This Thing On? the film coming out about his life, starring Bradley Cooper, Will Arnett and Laura Dern. Next month, John’s touring New Zealand with his 25 Years of Stand-Up tour.
