Jason Manford is bringing new tour 'Like Me' to Edinburgh

It’s been a busy few years for the funnyman who also enjoys a career as a musical theatre performer and Absolute Radio presenter.

New show, Like Me, is Manford’s latest comic offering, which will set off on a 99-date tour in 2021, stopping off at The Playhouse on 24 April 2021.

“After the fun we had on my last tour, Muddle Class, I’m excited to get back on the road with my new stand-up show, Like Me,” he says.

“In these trying times, it’s always important to be able to get away for a couple of hours and exercise the old chuckle muscle. So, I’m coming to a venue near you in 2021, so we can have a good laugh together. See you then.”

Manford, whose work now spans comedy, acting, singing and presenting, also enjoys a host of top TV credits including First & Last and Live at the Apollo for BBC One, The Masked Singer, The Nightly Show and Sunday Night at the Palladium, all for ITV,

His other TV credits include What Would Your Kid Do?, the popular comedy drama Scarborough and Have I Got News For You. His musical theatre credits include The Producers, which last brought him to the Capital.

Born in Salford, Manford’s comedy career started in 1999 when, while collecting glasses at the Buzz Comedy Club in Manchester, he found himself stepping in to fill the gap when a performer didn’t arrive - he was 17 at the time.

Like Me tours to The Playhouse, Greenside Place on 24 April 2021. Tickets priced £30 - £35 go on general sale on Friday 28 February at 10am.

Pre-sale tickets will be available from 10am on Wednesday 26 February from www. jasonmanford.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk/jason-manford-like-me
