Jason Manford is probably best known for being on the comedy panel show 8 Out Of 10 Cats, hosted by Jimmy Carr, but he is mainly a stand-up comedian.
He hasn’t been around for too many years but is already a very popular comedian. He talks about topical things and the general things blokes talk about (like football!), with a great sense of humour. Jason’s first DVD Live At Manchester Apollo is very highly rated and can be picked up at bargain prices!
Here are some of his funniest jokes + videos:
How he looks – “what’s this fat Michael Owen doing”
Talking about footballers – “you’re on 60grand a week, if I think your a nobhead, I’ll tell ya!”
Weather – “the weather in Manchester, it’s like the muslims in iraq, it’s either Sunni or it’s Shiite”
Tickets are free – “is anybody in from Liverpool? Oh right thought we might have priced you out”
About the recession – “i’ve seen you before, you used to work at Woolworths, nowhere to take that pick’n'mix knowledge is there”
Money – “I’ve stopped tipping, not flytipping, I’ll always do that”
About tipping when eating out – “another problem you’ve got is you can’t give an adult a pound, you may as well go ‘there you go mate get yourself some sweets’.”
