A regular on Channel 4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats, Manford started his comedy career by winning the North West comedian of the year title in 1999. A year later, he won the Leicester Mercury comedian of the year, and was a finalist in the So You Think You're Funny? new act competition.

He made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2005 with Urban Legend, a show that was nominated for the main Perrier award. The following year he won the Chortle award for best breakthrough act.

He embarked on his first solo tour of the UK in September 2008, a month after hosting the topical Channel 4 show Tonightly.

Great stand-up. A delight to watch. A lovely man. Like a poorer Peter Kay.

Adam Montgomery, September 2007

Brendan Long, January 2007

Jason ticks all the boxes as a comic. Excellent delivery, fantastic stage manner and quality material. Very very likable guy! The house in the middle of the M62 gag is brilliant.

Jay Ryan, May 2006

Watching Jason Manford is like watching a master craftsman at work. His act is honed to an exceptional standard. The guy's house in the midst of the M62 material is one the funniest observation's ever, nothing short of brilliant. A great way about him on stage.

Jason Cairns, May 2006

The guy's a legend! A younger, but equally funny, Peter Kay

Jason was brilliant tonight in Cardiff, in a room that had angry people on one side and lethargic people on the other. I take my hat off to him. He worked the room and got everyone on side and they asked him for an encore, when I honestly thought it couldn't be done given the atmosphere before he went on. This is the highest compliment I can the pay the man - I know that room very well and he did the seemingly impossible and stormed it.

Matt Price, March 2006

I saw Jason way back in 1999 and he was doing a lot of Peter Kay's material which after a while he ditched, so he's always going to get tagged with the Peter Kay thing. But now he does all his own gags and is a great stand-up in his own right, I saw him recently and thought he was great

Ian Sands, March 2006

Well done Jason.You worked the room at a v. tough gig in Newcastle. I was there to witness the work. Glad to see others are watching too.
