First role
Bishop attended Manchester's Frog and Bucket comedy club to lift his spirits. Unaware what an Open Mic Night was, he signed up for one simply to dodge the £4 entry fee.
A change of course
Bishop worked as a medical representative for Syntex, a pharmaceutical company, until he left in 2006 to pursue comedy full-time at the age of 40.
A change of course
Before his television breakthrough, Bishop worked as a warm-up act for Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, a detail revealed when he appeared on the show in February 2010.
Behind the camera
Bishop told Will Arnett about the night he chose to become a stand-up comedian, and that story became the basis of the 2025 movie Is This Thing On?, which Arnett wrote and Bishop got a story credit for.
