Jason Manford announces UK tour with Manchester gig at Co-op Live

Manchester comedian Jason Manford will be performing his comedy show at the new Co-op Live arena.

Jason will bring back his popular A Manford All Seasons tour to the huge £365 million venue on October 24th 2025, where fans can enjoy his latest comic offering which is sure to be ‘expert observational comedy’ (The Guardian) mixed with ‘comic gold’ (Mail on Sunday).

But Manford fans will know, this nationally acclaimed comedian hasn’t changed a bit.

The Salford-born comedian, actor and radio presenter started his career in 1999 while working at the Buzz Comedy Club in Chorlton.

Manford, just 17 at the time, was collecting glasses when a performer didn’t arrive for an evening set, so he offered to step in, marking the beginning of his comedy career.

The Manchester City fan has gone on to work on TV shows including ‘The Masked Singer’ (ITV1), ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ (Channel 4), ‘Have I Got News For You’, (BBC One), QI (BBC Two) and ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ (ITV1), as well as a number of others.

Now an established comic himself, Manford cites Billy Connolly as the first comedian he saw when he was nine years old, and as the first inspiration for him to become a comedian. 

He also loves family friendly entertainers including Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson.

A Manford All Seasons has been hailed as ‘Effortlessly entertaining’ by the Evening Standard, ‘Engaging and Witty’ by The Sunday Times and The Guardian says ‘Manford successfully straddles the line between contemporary stand-up and old-school mainstream entertainment’.

Presale tickets go live on Wednesday, October 11th at 10am and are exclusive for Co-op members only.
