Jason Manford, best known as a team captain on popular channel 4 comedy quiz 8 out of 10 cats, is establishing himself as a good stand up act. Sunday (15th March) marked his second appearance in Sheffield, this time in front of a packed audience in Sheffield City Hall.
Manford started his career at seventeen and after his first seven shows he won The City Life North West Comedian of the Year. He has risen to a new high with his latest tour which has now sold over 42,000 tickets.
During the show his success so far is easy to understand, Jason befriends the audience, rather than like other comedians singling out and picking on certain audience members. Manford instead looks largely at his own life and especially his childhood for material, ranging from 'Dad jokes' to life with his two brothers to how he is a terrible driver.
Not only is Jason Manford hilarious but he may be one of the cleanest comedians around, he doesn’t drink and rarely swears which means he can appeal to a much wider audience. This is a show that I would highly recommend, to see when Jason is near you visit http://www.jasonmanford.com/gigs and he shall be returning to our screens with a new series of 8 out of 10 cats in May.
