Jason Manford hails from Salford, Lancashire. He is a stand-up comedian, writer, actor, radio and television presenter. He began his career in 1999, while working at the Buzz Comedy Club in Chorlton, Manchester. Jason was collecting glasses when a performer didn’t arrive for an evening set. Jason, who was 17, stepped in to fill the gap, an event which marked the beginning of his comedy career. Six gigs later he was crowned The City Life North West Comedian of the Year.

After winning several smaller awards, Jason was nominated for the Perrier Award in Edinburgh in 2005 for his show Urban Legends. He shot to stardom as team Captain on Channel 4’s, 8 out of 10 Cats in 2007.

Following his UK tours in 2008 and 2009, stand up sets on Live at the Apollo (BBC One), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One) and The Royal Variety Performance (ITV1, 2009) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic, a position which made him the ideal host of ITV’s reality comedy competition, Show Me The Funny.

A second series of his hilarious creation Walk on the Wild Side (BBC One) aired in 2010. Jason has also hosted Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1). He was a regular panellist on two series of Odd One In (ITV1).

Jason took his I’m Turning Into My Dad tour across the UK in 2010, including a five night run at the Edinburgh International Festival that summer. He then went back on tour in 2011 with Off On Tour We Go: Jason Manford Live.

After his opera singing turn saw him emerge the winner on Born To Shine (ITV1) Jason put his new found talent into practice joining Alfie Boe on tour. This was followed by a well-received run in the critically acclaimed hit West End musical Sweeney Todd, starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton. He hosted ITV’s Funny Old Year on New Year’s Eve 2013, giving his unique and personal take on everything from television to sport, from the gaffes to the feuds and the trends of the year. Jason toured the UK with his First World Problems show which took him to all corners of the British Isles which started in May 2013, performing more than a staggering 200 shows. First World Problems was released on DVD in November 2014 and the tour finished in December 2014.

In April 2014 Jason appeared alongside Shameless star David Threlfall in ITV1’s drama based on the life of Tommy Cooper, Not Like This, Like That.

He has also enjoyed appearances on QI (BBC Two), Big Fat Quiz of the Year (Channel 4), Comedy World Cup (Channel 4) and Lip Sync Battle UK (Channel 5).

In March and April 2015, Jason starred in the BBC One six part drama series Ordinary Lies with co-stars Max Beesley, Michelle Keegan and Mackenzie Crook. For his role as downtrodden car salesman Marty, he was nominated for ‘Best Actor’ at the Royal Television Society Awards.

Following three successful end of year specials of Funny Old Year, Jason went on to host Funny Old Week for ITV throughout July 2015.

In July to November 2015, his Best Of live show toured the UK. Jason wrote a comedy-horror show called That’s The Spirit for Sky1, which aired Halloween 2016. He starred in this alongside Rebecca Callard, Imogen Gurney and Brenock O’Connor.

In October 2017, Jason released his debut album of musical favourites A Different Stage on Decca Records. The record ranges from show tunes he has performed in the past, to songs that are close to his heart and some of his childhood favourites. The album reached the Top 10 in the UK.

In January 2018 Jason took to the road for his mammoth year-and-a-half long Muddle Class UK tour, which explored Jason’s life growing up ‘working class’, then finding that as he’s got older, part of him has become ‘middle class’, causing much confusion!

In October 2018, Jason trod the boards once again, this time as Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Towards the end of 2018, Jason filmed the Christmas special of his prime time ITV1 show, What Would Your Kid Do? and a second series, which aired in March 2019.

Also, in November 2022 Jason also released a charity single ‘Assembly Bangers’ on the Westway Red Label. This brilliantly nostalgic dance track based on the ‘hits’ that have been sung in school assemblies for many decades to raise funds and awareness for the Trussell Trust’s first ever large-scale emergency appeal to ensure food banks can keep going this winter.

In December Jason made his Panto debut leading the cast in The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan in the role of Captain Hook at the Manchester Opera House.

Jason supports Manchester City FC and has a season ticket with his dad and three brothers. He 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 has a love for family friendly entertainers including Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson.
