Shining star John Bishop adds shows to sell-out Fringe run

LIVERPOOL funnyman John Bishop has added two extra shows to his sell-out Fringe run, John Bishop: Sunshine, due to demand for tickets.

Following rave reviews, comedy's "gloriously gifted storyteller" performed an extra show at the McEwan Hall at the weekend and will do another on August 28.

A spokesman said: "Following the success of his 'Elvis Has Left The Building' tour, John Bishop has been performing at the Edinburgh Festival to sold-out houses every night.

"The combination of his ability to keep the laughs coming, along with his unique brand of observational humour, undeniable charm and gift of creating a relaxed atmosphere mean that the feel good factor of spending an evening in his company is absolutely priceless."

Mr Bishop also appeared in Amnesty International's Stand Up For Freedom comedy gig last week.
