Comedian Jason Manford is adding more than 50 shows to his nationwide tour - including two dates in Kent.

The theatre star will be coming to Chatham and Dartford at the start of next year, with tickets for the new dates going on sale on Wednesday, April 24.

Tickets will be available from 10am and can be booked online here.

The comic, who is known for appearing on TV shows such as Starstruck, 8 Out of 10 Cats and A Question of Sport, will be taking his new show, A Manford All Seasons, on the road from September.

“I’m really chuffed to be adding more dates to my brand-new tour,” says the Salford-born performer. “I can’t wait to be back on stage in a theatre near you having a right old laugh. There’s nothing quite like it and I can’t wait to see you all there!”

Alongside his comedy career, which saw Jason nominated for the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he has performed in musical theatre shows such as Sweeney Todd, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Guys and Dolls and the Wizard of Oz.

His leading roles in these shows have also led to the stand-up star hosting the Big Night of Musicals TV show since 2022.

He has also presented charity gala Children In Need and chat show the One Show.

Jason Manford will be at the Central Theatre in Chatham on Wednesday, February 5 2025 and the Orchard Theatre in Dartford on Saturday, February 15 2025.
