Corden, Coogan and Jo Brand among them

The full list of guests for John Bishop’s new chat show has been announced.

They include fellow comics Jo Brand, Steve Coogan and Lenny Henry as well as Last Leg co-host Alex Brooker. 

John Bishop: In Conversation With… starts on September 1 with James Corden talking about his first big break in Fat Friends, creating Gavin and Stacey and his career as a chat show host in the US.

Others to appear in the ten-part series for digital channel W are Rupert Everett, Charlotte Church, Freddie Flintoff, Miriam Margolyes, Desert Island Discs’ presenter Kirsty Young

Bishop said: ‘I’ve had the idea for an in-depth interview show like this for a couple of years. There are several excellent talk shows out there, but I think there's a real gap in the market for a show featuring an hour-long interview, which allows my guest and I to chat in greater depth. 

‘Each of my 10 guests were fascinating to chat to, and I genuinely discovered things about them that I didn't know before.’
