Jason Manford confirms Southampton and Bexhill dates

On January 17-18 he will be at Southampton Guildhall and on January 22 he will be at Bexhill’s De Le Warr Pavilion.

Jason said: “I’m really chuffed to be adding more dates to my brand-new tour. I can’t wait to be back on-stage in a theatre near you having a right old laugh. There’s nothing quite like it and I can’t wait to see you all there!”

Spokeswoman Hannah Tollman said: “Jason’s last stand-up show, Like Me, saw him play an incredible 280 shows across the country, receiving standing ovations and rave reviews night after night. A Manford All Seasons is Jason’s latest comic offering that will feature his iconic expert observational comedy and is sure to be comic gold.

“Salford-born Jason Manford is one of the UK’s leading multi-talented performers, with a career also spanning acting, presenting and singing on both stage and screen.

“Away from comedy, Jason is currently hosting a new BBC One quiz show, The Answer Run, which is broadcast Monday-Friday, 4.30-5.15pm.
