It's a big year for John Bishop, as the comedian is embarking on another tour... and having a movie made based on his life?

Bradley Cooper's Is This Thing On?, which stars Will Arnett, has been loosely based on the life of John Bishop, charting his pivot to comedy following a low point in his life.

As well as heading to the cinema to see the film, which will be released on 30th January this year, you can head to a range of venues around the UK next year to see the real thing.

Bishop is heading on a nationwide comedy tour, hitting up cities including Glasgow, Nottingham, London and Belfast. Here's how you can get tickets to see him today.

For more comedy on stage, here's how you can see Tom Allen in Titanique, as well as get your hands on Kevin Bridges tickets.
