Councillor Theresa Higgins, Portfolio Holder for Commercial Services said: “We’re delighted that John Bishop is bringing two exciting new dates to Charter Hall on his next World Tour. It’s fantastic that Colchester is now a ‘must-go’ destination for so many big-name touring comedians, musicians and theatre acts.  Visitors to Charter Hall can look forward to a host of great nights out in our town.”

John Bishop said: “I’m excited to announce these new dates for my brand-new show ‘Right Here, Right Now’, which will kick off in the Autumn next year. After the last six months we’ve all endured, it feels like a lifetime since I last performed in front of a live audience. There’s nothing like stand-up comedy to put a smile back on your face, so I can’t wait to get back out on the road to perform this new show across the UK, Ireland and around the world.”

This will be John's eighth tour and his first since 2017/2018, when he performed to over 400,000 people on his critically acclaimed 'Winging It' tour.  'Right Here, Right Now' will visit over 60 towns and cities in the UK, as well as dates in Ireland, Europe, Canada and America.

The new shows at Charter Hall are in addition to John’s already sold out ‘Work in Progress’ event which takes place at Charter Hall on 21 October 2021 (rescheduled from 3 December 2020).
