    I was at the same school as John Bishop - he was in the year above me - he is exactly who you see. A genuine human with a strong moral compass.

    What a pleasure to listen to this man. He comes across as thoroughly decent, hard working and down to earth. I often feel men of certain generations were cheated by being told that a 'good man' worked all the hours god sent to provide for their family when they should have been able to have some sort of work/life balance. My father got his first job at 12 and worked seven days a week my entire life. He retired at 52 and dropped dead of a heart attack a week later. It still breaks my heart that, not only did he not get to enjoy any of the things he worked so hard for, he never saw his children married or any of his grandchildren. I'm glad things are changing and l also love that men are talking openly about mental health. The more people realise that mental health is as important and as curable as physical health, the more people will not just live better lives but, also live.

    John Bishop is a stereotypical Scouser.... Down to earth, likable and naturally funny bones....
    I'm a Mancunian but I love the decency, authenticity and humour I see in the Scousers...

    John Bishop has such a luminous decency about him. One line that I remember at odd times is when he was talking about his children "What's the trouble, son?". It would launch him into the funny part, but what stayed with me is the spirit in which he asked the question. Every kid needs to be asked that question the way John Bishop does!

    Saw him a year or so ago in Leicester Square theatre- he was literally arriving as the panto he was in overran but he came on stage and that bit about the stool to gauge the room. He asked for questions and soon had the whole room off 400 rolling around with tears of laughter.
    This guy is brilliant- it was all stories about his family and he just sparked off the questions from the audience so totally off the cuff.

    @CuriosityRocks 20 днів тому +42

    This is a wonderful interview, John did indeed save my life, I was rock bottom with depression and then one boop on Doctor Who and I was back working on my art and creating and his encouragement of showing and praising my work on his show was so important to me. I grew up with undiagnosed Autism and Selective Mutism and experienced so much trauma and violence towards me from grown adults because I wouldn’t open up or when I did I was too quiet for them. I climbed a huge mountain of finding my voice and to have the time with John at White Rabbit Red Rabbit and speaking to the audience was incredibly special to me. He’s totally right about being quiet means the kind people settle down and listen, I felt so proud and loved especially when John applauded me. My ambition is to be a noted artist and for people in 500 years to know my work.

      _And_ if you look at photos of Barry Gibb when he was young (when the Bee Gees were at their height?) he looks _so like_ John Bishop when he was younger too,
      I think they looked very similar, both good-looking young men and to be honest, I think John has aged a lot better, he's still a good-looking man (of course Barry is older than John, though I don't know by how many years!)❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💕🇬🇧🖖
