John Bishop has announced a series of work in progress gigs.

His promoters say: "Comedy superstar John Bishop is delighted to announce a limited run of Work In Progress stand-up shows across the UK. The run of intimate dates kicks off in Camberley on 17 September and culminates in Stevenage on 13 December."

Bishop is now preparing his new show, to follow on from his sell-out 2017/8 UK tour Winging It, which played to over 500,000 people across the UK & Ireland.

His team say: "John can't wait to get back on the live stage to try out new material."

Whilst the shows are described as 'intimate', a number of the dates are in large theatres, with many tickets priced over £30. A full list of dates is below.

Tickets are on sale now via his website and Ticketmaster

Aside from his live work, Bishop has a number of TV formats currently in development. Amongst the formats, he is piloting a game show and a cooking show, and is also set to present a travel documentary focused around beluga whales. His new book, How To Grow Old, will be published in October.
