John Bishop review: 'Cork is the only city where you can book a band on the street and they turn up the next night'

It was a case of third time’s the charm for comedian John Bishop as he took to the Live at the Marquee stage on Thursday night. Having originally announced a Cork gig for summer 2020, and then summer 2021, his two-night stint in the striped tent came to be at last, complete with a spontaneously booked samba band.
Opening the show, the Cork City Samba Band had every member of the audience clapping and stamping before being joined by Bishop shortly after 8pm, complete with drum and whistle, for an encore performance.
