My Take
What I admire most about John Bishop is the long road he took to get here. A Liverpool lad who played semi-pro football and worked in sales before finally breaking into comedy in his forties, he turned ordinary working life into his richest material. There is real warmth in performers who arrive late and bring a whole lived-in biography with them, and his rapid-fire Scouse delivery makes even the bleak stuff feel generous rather than bitter. I find that kind of detour deeply respectable. The years he spent not being famous are exactly what make him worth listening to now.
