Liverpool comedian John Bishop will embark on a 600-mile road trip around Ireland for his new series on ITV.
The 52-year-old will visit historic sites, learn Irish customs and perform his comedy in pubs and stadiums.
Bishop quit his job as a pharmaceutical sales representative in 2006 to become a stand-up after gigging around Ireland.
He said: “Ireland holds a very special place in my heart and always has done, even before I started stand-up comedy. So to have the opportunity to travel around, meet local people, make them laugh and experience new things along the way has been a total joy.”
Bishop’s Ireland is co-produced by Lola Entertainment, the comedian’s own TV production company, as well as Twofour and Moondog Productions. There will be four 30-minute episodes.
