With Salford-born Manford previously performing at St Helens Theatre Royal for a pantomime in 2022, the start of his 'A Manford All Seasons' has already earned glowing reviews and standing ovations.

The Guardian said that the comedian's tour showcases his “expert observational comedy” while The Telegraph said that Manford is “blessed with the sort of laid-back charm and sharp turn of phrase you can’t manufacture”.

Speaking about the tour, Manford said: "I’m absolutely blown away by the response to this tour so far.

"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”.

Tickets for these new dates go on sale on Friday, November 29 at 10:00am here.
