JASON Manford is back with a work in progress show ahead of his national tour in 2018, which promises to feature a wealth of comedy anecdotes, misunderstandings and audience banter delivered with Jason’s likeable charm and teasingly intelligent wit.

The intimate stand up show, at The Point tonight, is now sold out, but fans can join a waiting list to see the comedy legend before he embarks on his wider tour in the new year.

Sunday Night at the Palladium (ITV1), Live at the Apollo (BBC One), Have I Got News For You, (BBC One), QI (BBC Two) and The Royal Variety Performance (ITV1) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic.

He has starred in the hit musicals Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Producers at Mayflower Theatre, enjoys a big following on his Sunday morning Absolute Radio show and runs Manford's Comedy Club, which includes a Southampton venue, in his spare time.

Jason will bring the completed Muddle Class tour to Southampton's 02 Guildhall on October 20 among 114 dates throughout 2018.

He recently hosted the critically acclaimed Sunday night primetime ITV1 game show, Bigheads as well as The Nightly Show on ITV1.

Jason also runs Manford’s Comedy Club with his brother Colin, showcasing the best comedians of the moment - both established names and the stars of tomorrow - to audiences across the country.
