DVD Description
Following his sell-out UK tour 2010’s comedian of the moment John Bishop presents his much anticipated debut DVD, John Bishop Live. Bringing his unique talents for observational comedy to DVD for the first time John’s hotly anticipated Edinburgh Award Nominated show ‘Elvis Has Left the Building’ is tipped to be the next big thing. Filmed live at The Liverpool Empire, John’s observations about coming to terms with middle age lead us through tales of his new found fame, his devotion to Liverpool FC, the positives of male grooming and an outlook on life that rings true for anyone and everyone.
With regular appearances on League of Their Own, Skins, Live at Apollo and guests spots on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Mock The Week, this Liverpudlian stand-up is going to be the next big thing.
"Elvis may have left the building, but there’s a new comedian in town, a man who would be the king."--The Independent
"If you fail to laugh like a lunatic, check yourself into a mortuary: You are probably dead"--Metro
"A comic revolutionary… Not to be missed"--The Independent

Format:DVD
John bishop is the best new Stand up comedian bar none. What i likie is that he creates humour from things in life itself so you can relate. With some great extras, this DVD is luagh out loud stuff and sure to please. The extras include a documantary of the porthcawl Elvis festival. Behind the scenes of John's live show and John's tour diary. Feel good, luagh a minute stuff. heartily reccomend it.

Format:DVD
Having seen John Bishop on TV many times over the past year, I expected his first DVD - recorded in his home city of Liverpool - to be pin-sharp and edgy. But it's more like a big dose of comfortable Michael McKintyre, to be honest. Unlike Kevin Bridges, he goes for the safe route and bases his act around his family, Elvis and Liverpool Football Club. It's like wearing a comfy pair of slippers - cosy but unexciting. And again, unlike Kevin Bridges who focuses on sharp observation around him well beyond just his family - Bishop settles for discussing his teenage sons (no Les Dawson mother in law jokes here!). Family observation is unlikely to be as acidic as political or social commentary. He also seems to be in awe of what he has achieved. That's fine but he does need to get over it and move on. He's a funny man on TV but here he misses the chance to make some really sharp observations - he is in Liverpool for goodness sake but comes across like he is on stage in Grimsby (no offence to Grimsby). Again, compared with comedians more edgy than him, he almost completely fails to get a rapport going with the somewhat subdued audience - and that says a lot. He is talking at them whereas great comedians get the audience to be part of the dialogue, part of the experience. He needs to turn the dial up next time and get stuck in.

I went to go and see this for my 17th birthday (I think) when it was recorded, I went to the show in Liverpool in June and they said it was for a DVD, Elvis has left the building and everything. Honestly, it probably was the funniest night ever. I loved seeing him so much, if he makes you laugh when he is on TV shows then you really should buy this DVD. If you are concerned about swearing (which someone was) you should expect it from him, but this show is really funny.

great northern humour
Although John Bishop has married and moved to Manchester, he is still very much a Liverpuddlian. Great humour and plenty of it.

Not Funny!
It's fortunate for Bishop that there's a zero stars option on Amazon's reviews.
This man is simply not funny. His thick scouse accent is a complete fake! Read more
