Jason Manford to play Dudley shows

The popular comic will bring his new tour, Like Me, to the Town Hall on Friday, January 29, and Saturday, January 30, 2021.

Tickets will cost £25 and go on sale at 10am this Friday.

Jason is also set to perform at Arena Birmingham later in 2021 on October 21.

The comedian's Like Me Tour follows the successful Muddle Class Tour in 2019.

The 38-year-old Manchester comedian said: "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.

"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."

Alex Jackson, booker for Dudley Borough Halls, said: "We’re delighted to welcome Jason back for two ‘work in progress’ dates, giving fans the first opportunity to see his new show.

"Jason always goes down a storm in the Black Country and he loves playing Dudley Town Hall, so we can’t wait to see him again."

He is best known for his appearances on the likes of 8 out of 10 Cats, The One Show, Show Me the Funny, A Question of Sport: Super Saturday and Bigheads.

Jason is currently playing the lead in the musical Curtains.
