Talking of Jason Manford, he was my fave comedian for quite a while until he went woke.
I first saw him live and thought of him of a poor man’s Peter Kay before I went in but came out a massive fan. This was around the height of Peter Kay’s fame and when Jason manford was taking off. I said before on here that I saw Peter Kay’s tour and came out not a fan anymore as his set was only 1 hour 15 mins, he spent ten minutes or more badly dealing with and encouraging a heckler instead of shutting her down, another ten minutes just stood there saying garlic bread, and then finished with a stupid Queen tribute song at the end. He truly was shockingly bad hasn’t improved since then according to reviews of this tour which is 15 years later.
Jason Manford on the other hand- audience of about 1000, was really funny and he was on stage for 3 hours. He overran by an hour doing a Q&A with the audience at the end and was very quick and naturally funny, said he’d have to pay the venue by the minute for over running but he was enjoying it so didn’t care. Dealt with any hecklers really well too. Shame he went woke and I went off him as he genuinely did care about his fans having a good show every time I saw him. Night and day difference to when I came out of seeing
Peter Kay and laughed maybe twice
Manford being described as 'woke' was not what I had on my bingo card any time soon. The guy is a raging misogynist who openly messages girls on social media, offering to finger them etc. He's a bleeping wrong 'un. & about as funny as a bucket of cold sick.
