Comic brings tour to Oldham

COMEDIAN Jason Manford will bring his “First World Problems” tour to Oldham Coliseum on Monday, September 22.

Manford has become a household name through various TV appearances and live shows.

He has also taken part in The Royal Variety Performance.

Since he was last on the road, he has won ITV’s “Born To Shine”, starred in the West-End hit musical “Sweeney Todd” and joined Alfie Boe on tour.

He said: “Some of you might think I’ve had a career change what with all the opera and musical theatre I’ve been doing lately — not a chance.

“I’m excited to be getting back to what I really love the most — stand up!”

Tickets, priced £22.50, went on sale today. Visit www.coliseum.org.uk for more information.
