Jason Manford will be performing two shows in Somerset as part of his new live tour. 

The comedian announced an extra 89 shows in his A Manford All Seasons, with dates added in Taunton and Weston-super-Mare. 

Jason said he is “blown away” by the response the tour has had so far, with the new shows bringing the total number of tour dates to 176.  

He will be performing at Playhouse in Weston on 3 July and at Wellsprings in Taunton on 24 September next year, with tickets going on sale this Friday (29 November).

“I’m absolutely blown away by the response to this tour so far,” Jason said.  

“I love touring and bringing some chuckles in these difficult times and so adding these dates means I can see even more of you all over the country” 

Salford-born Jason has had a career spanning acting and presenting as well as standup.  

His TV credits include 8 Out of 10 Cats, Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and QI, as well a new acting role in Waterloo Road.  

He has also acted on the West End, with credits including Sweeney Todd, The Producers, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Guys and Dolls, and Curtains.
