John Bishop has rescheduled his stand-up gig on Sunday so he won’t miss the Euro 2024 final.
The 57-year-old funnyman, a die-hard Liverpool FC supporter, was originally set to take the stage at Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall at 8pm on Sunday (July 14). However, this clashed with England’s kick-off time against Spain in the Euro 2024 final, following their 2-1 victory over Netherlands in Wednesday night’s (July 10) semi-final.
To avoid any conflict, John has now moved his show’s start time to 2pm, ensuring he’ll be finished in time to watch the Three Lions attempt to clinch their first-ever European Championship.

A notice on the venue’s website stated: “Due to England’s success in Euro 2024, the decision has been taken to move John Bishop’s evening show at The Civic Hall to earlier in the day to avoid clashing with the final.

“Doors will now open at 12:30pm with the show starting at 2pm. All tickets remain valid for the show.”
John also released a statement saying: “When Gareth Southgate didn’t pick me I didn’t think I would be watching the Euros but like everyone else I have been caught up in the tournament. It is brilliant that England are in the final and to avoid people having to decide if they can watch the match or the show we are moving the show timings so we can all go home and watch it.”
John first informed his fans about the schedule change on Wednesday night, immediately after England’s semi-final triumph. In a video on X, he said: “This is a message to all the people coming to Wolverhampton on Sunday.
“I’m not doing the show at eight o’clock. The show’s gonna get moved to the afternoon.

“You will all get an email in the morning telling you the time.”
In a video on X, he said: “I know it won’t suit everybody, so anyone who can’t make it we’ll give you a refund.
“But we’re definitely going to move the time to Sunday afternoon, because there’s no chance I’m going to be doing it at eight o’clock, because I’m going to be busy watching these boys.”
John then panned the camera to the TV, which featured England’s players celebrating their famous victory following Ollie Watkins’ last-minute winner.
