"Bish" is a top scouse comic - regularly appearing on "A League of Their Own" with James Corden and Jamie Redknapp. He had his own show on BBC1 called "John Bishop's Britain", which started in 2010, where he talked to the public about certain topics to do with the show's theme that week.

A failed accountant by his own admission, Ken Dodd has to be the longest serving stand-up comic there has ever been. His shows can last between two and seven hours long at one time. I once saw him in Blackpool - he started at 7 p.m. and had an interval at 10:30.

He came back on after 15 mins and finished at 12:45am. For one man to keep 3,000 people laughing for over five hours is incredible.
