COMEDIAN Jason Manford – hot off an online controversy about a hotel room – has announced a show in Somerset.

The star, and former host of the One Show, is set to bring his A Manford All Seasons act to the Cheese and Grain, in Frome, on February 26 next year.

Tickets for two shows – at 6.30pm and 8.30pm – are set to go on sale this Friday (July 4) at 10am via https://www.cheeseandgrain.com/events/jason-manford-1 (6.30pm) and https://www.cheeseandgrain.com/events/jason-manford-2 (8.30pm), priced at £22.50, £38, and £44.50 in advance (plus a standard service charge).

The announcement comes days after Manford hit the headlines following a social media post in which he hit out at a Dorset hotel.

Manford said he was forced to share a room with a friend – despite booking two – due to the venue overbooking.

Frome hoteliers be warned – keep rooms free…
