Everybody’s favourite northern comedian,
Jason Manford, has announced a brand new tour for 2013. The tour includes a date at the
Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on
19 and 20 June 2013. The show promises to feature a wealth of comedy anecdotes, comic misunderstandings and audience banter delivered with Jason’s likeable charm and teasingly intelligent wit.
Jason has had a busy time since he was last on the road. After his opera singing turn saw him emerge the winner on Born To Shine (ITV1) Jason put his new found talent into practice joining
Alfie Boe on tour prior to a well-received run in the
West-End hit musical Sweeney Todd. However, his comedy bones weren’t completely idle as he enjoyed appearances on
QI (BBC Two),
Big Fat Quiz of the Year (Channel 4), and
Comedy World Cup (Channel 4).
Stand up sets on Live at the Apollo (BBC One), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One) and The Royal Variety Performance (ITV1, 2009) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic, a position which made him the ideal host of ITV’s reality comedy competition, Show Me the Funny. A second series of his hilarious creation Walk on the Wild Side (BBC One) aired in 2010, and Jason has hosted Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1) and been a regular panelist on two series of Odd One In (ITV1).
“Some of you might think I’ve had a career change what with all the opera and musical theatre I’ve been doing lately. Not a chance, I’m excited to be getting back to what I really love the most – stand up!” said JASON.
