The new presenter of television’s The One Show, Jason Manford, will be at the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, on September 24 and 25.

Renowned for his cheeky observational humour and loveable, friendly delivery, Jason will entertain fans with stories of the tell-tale signs that he is turning into his dad, including disapproving of skimpy clothes, lying to your children and spending more time in B and Q than HMV.

It follows a successful 12 months for the comic that has also seen him enjoy a sell-out tour, a success debut DVD, and appearances on The Royal Variety Performance and Live At The Apollo on BBC One.

Jason’s creation, Walk On The Wild Side on BBC1, which combines Jason and friends with wildlife footage, returns for a second series this year.

Hot on his heels at the Royal Concert Hall are Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong, who will perform The Armstrong And Miller Show live on stage on September 28 and 29.

With their usual mix of the beautifully observed and the utterly barmy, they will perform a parade of characters using their extensive dressing up box and wig store.

They include the street-talking second world war chav pilots, Brabbins and Fyffe, the filthy alter-egos of Flanders And Swann, Jilted Jim, Terry Devlin and Frank Dad.
