Jason to muddle his way back on to comedy tour

JASON Manford is back with a bang after taking an almost four-year hiatus from the tour bus.

His new tour ‘Muddle Class’ is coming to many venues across the UK. The De Montfort Hall will have the pleasure of hosting the Mancunian funnyman’s show on March 15 this year.

During his time away from touring, Manford worked with Decca Records and released the album ‘A Different Stage’, in October 2017.

The album is composed of Manford’s favourite show tunes that he sings for 40 minutes. The somewhat surprising venture from the man best-known for his witty comedy and acting was a longawaited dream of his.

Manford recalls: “I always thought I’d probably be a singer rather than a stand-up, but that’s just the way it happened.

“I’ve been singing since I was a little boy”.

As an outcome of his time away from the Northern stand-up scene and more time in the West End, starring in productions including Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!, Manford has been left conflicted as to whether his roots as a working-class Northern chap have become twisted into a middle-class mindset.

The cleverly tilted tour, ‘Muddle Class’, explains the struggle Manford faced to stay loyal to his Manchester heritage

He hilariously recalls his experiences getting older and wanting the finer things in life, despite the fact his parents “haven’t changed a bit”.

The tour’s first stop will start at the Leeds Town Hall on January 24th, 2018.

After taking a trip across the UK, the tour will finish back up North at Liverpool’s Philharmonic on May 26th, 2018.

Be sure to watch the 8 Out Of 10 star at De Montfort Hall at 19:30 on March 15, 2018.
