Jason Manford has announced at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall date as part of a new UK tour for 2018.

The Salford-born comedian, actor and presenter will finish his spring tour at the Hope Street venue on May 26, 2018.

He is also set to bring Muddle Class to Warrington on April 11 and Southport on April 13 next year.

The 35-year-old says: “Somebody said to me on my Facebook fan page, ‘it’s been ages since you’ve toured’. I thought ‘no way, it was last year wasn’t it?’

“Anyway, long story short, they were right, it was years ago! I just got fooled because I’ve been on tour doing musicals and the last tour is repeated on Dave ja Vu 13 times a day.

“So I’ve been putting some stuff together, looking at my life and how it’s changed over the years, how the world has changed and how my parents haven’t changed a bit. It’s going to be a great tour.”

One of the funnyman’s most recent appearances in Liverpool was at friend Brendan Riley’s Comedy Cellar at The Magnet in Hardman Street.

Tickets for Muddle Class are £27.50, subject to a handling fee.
