News: Jason Manford Signs Up for Panto This Christmas

Jason Manford, a definite strong contender for hardest working person in 2020, is set to appear in panto for the first time this December.

Manford will be one of the stars of the socially distanced Sleeping Beauty at the Palace Theatre & Opera House Manchester.

Also in the cast are Billy Pearce, Jodie Prenger, Eric Potts and Louis Gaunt.

The show will run from Saturday December 12 to Sunday January 3.

Manford has been constantly busy this year. He has run his own online comedy show, hosted the Olivier Awards, played in Soccer Aid and worked for Iceland helping them with deliveries among other things. He also found time to fly to Guadeloupe to film a role in the new series of Death in Paradise.

He also has his regular Absolute Radio show and isalso having a new house built for his large family, which maybe goes some way to explaining why he is taking on so much work.
