COMEDY superstar Jason Manford has announced an extra 31 brand new dates to his already gigantic live tour Muddle Class, taking it into 2019.

Additional shows have now been added right across the country including in Southend and Colchester.

Muddle Class is Jason’s first comedy tour since his hugely successful 2013/4 tour First World Problems, which ran for 18 months and took him to all corners of the British Isles, performing more than 200 sold out shows.

Jason said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be adding another batch of dates to my Muddle Class tour.

"It’s the best show I’ve ever done and I’m over the moon that so many people are coming to see it.”

Muddle Class will now be at the Cliffs Pavilion on both Thursday October 18, 2018 at 8pm and Saturday March 2 2019 at 7:30pm.
