Sky has announced a new live comedy showcase show compered by John Bishop.
Similar in format to Live At The Apollo, John Bishop’s Comedy Night at The Coliseum features live sets from established comedians and emerging comic talent.
“There’s so much brilliant talent on the British comedy circuit at the moment, from the established names to the next generation coming through,” said Bishop.
“I want this series to celebrate all of it and reflect what’s happening out there right now. I can’t wait to fill the London Coliseum with some of the best comedy the country has to offer.”
Phil Edgar-Jones, Sky’s exec director of original unscripted, said: “We take laughter very seriously at Sky and love nothing more than discovering new people and new ways of tickling the nation’s funny bones — with the legendary John Bishop at the helm of this brand new show, we’ll be bringing together comedy icons, some of the circuits biggest names and fresh comic voices too.”
The shows will be filmed in December for broadcast as a three-part series on Sky in early 2027.
