Jason Manford has announced a major new tour for 2021.

Promoters have announced an initial run of 99 dates between February and October next year, which will go on sale from Wednesday morning at 10am. A wider release will be available from 10am on Friday.

Production company Phil McIntyre Live says: "It's been a busy few years since Jason's last smash-hit stand-up show, but fans of his Absolute Radio show will know this nationally acclaimed comedian hasn't changed a bit. Like Me is Jason's latest comic offering, set to hit the road for a massive 99 date UK & Ireland tour, kicking off in Basingstoke on 3 February 2021 and culminating with a huge homecoming show at the Manchester Arena on 23 October 2021."

Jason said: "After the fun we had on my last tour, Muddle Class, I'm excited to get back on the road with my new stand-up show Like Me. In these trying times, it's always important to be able to get away for a couple of hours and exercise the old chuckle muscle! So, I'm coming to a venue near you in 2021, so we can have a good laugh together. See you then!"

A full list of dates can be seen on the tour listing page.

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster, who are also currently selling work-in-progress performances across 2020 for Manford to develop and refine Like Me.
