Phil McIntyre Live ltd, by arrangement with Lisa Thomas Management Proudly presents:
Jason Manford: Like Me WORK IN PROGRESS

He’s back! It’s been a busy few years for Jason since his last smash-hit stand up show but fans of his Absolute Radio show will know this nationally acclaimed comedian hasn’t changed a bit. ‘Like Me’ is Jason’s latest comic offering set to hit the road, and is sure to be ‘expert observational comedy’ (The Guardian) mixed with ‘comic gold’ (Mail on Sunday).

Jason said: “After the fun we had on my last tour ‘Muddle Class’, I’m excited to get back on the road with my new stand up show, ‘Like Me’. In these trying times it’s always important to be able to get away for a couple of hours and exercise the old chuckle muscle! So I’m coming to a venue near you in 2021 so we can have a good laugh together. See you then.”

‘First & Last’ (BBC One), ‘The Masked Singer’ (ITV1), ‘What Would Your Kid Do?’ (ITV1), ‘Olivier Awards’ (ITV1), ‘Scarborough’ (BBC One), ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ (Channel 4), ‘The Nightly Show’ (ITV1), ‘Sunday Night at the Palladium’ (ITV1), ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC One), ‘Have I Got News For You’, (BBC One), QI (BBC Two) and ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ (ITV1) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic.

"Effortlessly entertaining" **** Evening Standard
"He's blessed with the sort of laid-back charm and sharp turn of phrase you can't manufacture" **** Daily Telegraph
"Engaging and Witty” The Sunday Times
"Manford, in short, is a total pro." The Times
“Manford successfully straddles the line between contemporary stand-up and old-school mainstream entertainment.” The Guardian

Chaos reigns in this brand-new farce of mistaken identities and disastrous decisions from the witty pen of star of stage and screen, Nigel Planer (The Young Ones, The Comic Strip Presents, Blackadder, Death in Paradise).

An unlikely bunch of modern-day do-gooders try to make the world a better place, but lose the plot, their morals and even their clothes in all the best traditions of classic British farce.

Timothy has quit the world of banking and now - for all the wrong reasons – wants to give something back and help those less fortunate. Along with his brazen and shameless PR agent, he plans a charity auction to raise money for good causes. He misguidedly enlists the help of narcissist TV personality, Matthew Board – a man clearly on the edge in more ways than one. Matters are made worse by Sir Ommany John, a geriatric world-famous artist who still has an eye for the ladies; Katia, a confused Finnish exchange student and not to mention Timothy’s crazed ex-wife who is out for revenge…and will the plasterer ever turn up?

The doors slam and the double entendres flow and with more misunderstandings and mayhem than you can shake a charity collection box at, this play will have you in stitches and make you question if things really are, All Above Board.

The world premiere of this hilarious production will take place in New Brighton on the 23rd August and then it goes on tour to venues up and down the UK.

'Don’t ask me... It’s All Above Board!'

Jimmy Carr: Terribly Funny

Jimmy’s brand new show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things.
Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love.
But they’re just jokes - they are not the terrible things.
Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.
Now you’ve been warned, buy a ticket.

THIS IS AN EVENING OF PURE THEATRICAL VIAGRA

Our 2021 production stars Vicki Michelle (‘Allo ‘Allo!) and Vicky Entwistle (Coronation Street), Leah Bell completes the threesome.

Gladys, Olive and Elsie are three "vintage style" cleaning ladies who, threatened with redundancy, chance on an 'unconventional' way of earning some extra cash.

A wrong number requiring a Sex Chat Line rings into the office and gives them a great idea… “Why not start their own Sex Chat Line?” After all, their age and appearance won't matter on the telephone and providing they can keep this a secret from Dave, their boss... they could be onto a winner!What could possibly go wrong?

Written by Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood, this production is directed by Leah Bell who injects this hilarious play with a fresh and lively approach coupled with her own unique comedic style.

DANIEL SLOSS: HUBRiS

Warning: contains adult themes and strong language. Strictly 16+

Daniel Sloss: HUBRiS is the all-new, 11th solo show by Scotland’s international comedy superstar. Fresh from his 2021 Australian tour which spanned 32 shows in 30 days to over 40,000 people and hot on the heels of his previous show – the ground-breaking, global smash-hit 'Daniel Sloss: X' (where he performed an astonishing 300 performances across 40 countries even including an arena in Moscow) - HUBRiS is currently the largest indoor event of any genre on the planet and we are delighted to welcome it to The Floral

Lauded by the ancient Greeks, hubris is the devastating, dangerous and of course exciting character trait that often led to the hero’s downfall. So, how does one of the world’s hottest stand-ups follow up on an extraordinary show like 'X' (dealing with sexual assault), or two Netflix specials streaming in 190 countries: 'DARK' (about grieving) & 'Jigsaw' (credited with over 120,000 breakups and cited in over 300 divorces with fans even bringing their decree nisi’s for him to autograph at shows)? With a phenomenal new show that doesn’t have a theme or a twist or require any trigger warnings.

Daniel Sloss: HUBRiS is the next chapter in this Odyssey.

Having started in comedy aged just 17, to date, Daniel has sold out six New York solo off-Broadway seasons (selling up to 5,000 tickets in a run), made 10 appearances on US TV’s Conan, broken box office records at the world’s biggest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe (where he has already sold out 11 solo seasons and where 2021 is his 12th and is the first post-pandemic Fringe show on sale), and has to date, toured in 50 countries, the most of any comedian working to today. Marvel made him into one of their heroes and his book “EVERYONE YOU HATE IS GOING TO DIE And Other Comforting Thoughts on Family, Friends, Sex, Love, and More Things That Ruin Your Life” will be published on 12th October 2021 by Penguin Random House.

"Dirty, sweet and clever" (New York Times)
"Brilliant!… Smouldering… Deliciously dark stand-up" ★★★★★ (Mail on Sunday)
"Hilarious… Devastatingly intelligent… Sloss is a festival highlight. See him" ★★★★★ (Age, Australia)
"Dazzling wit… Unstoppable" (Daily Telegraph)
"Simply world class…Sloss skilfully weaves sensitive subject matter into a hilarious tapestry… intelligently and ironically calling out the hypocrisy of human nature" ★★★★★ (Herald Sun, Australia)
"Sloss is at the top of his game… exciting and powerful… Challenging and controversial… a master craftsman and a truly edgy stand-up star with his finger very much on the pulse… Brilliant!" (Time Out)

From Bolton via Vegas... to the stars!

Following the massive success of his last UK tour, clairvoyant medium and psychic Clinton Baptiste has gone exploring, stateside.

Not quite Caesar’s Palace but a series of shows in Vegas have lifted his celebrity status up a notch. Let him take you on a journey from his humble roots via the dazzling heights of Sin City...
...and on to an amazing finale that will heal the world.

Viva Las Vegas... Viva Clinton!

Clinton Baptiste is the hapless, unsubtle psychic from Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights. Following his sell out tour of 2019-20 "The Paranormalist Returns", Clinton has taken a whirlwind tour of the US. Hear his tales of rubbing shoulders with the hippy dippy new-agers from La La Land and how he hits the big time in Vegas with his lavish psychic show. For a while things couldn’t be better. A new lease of life, new teeth, new hair and a buttock lift. (Both of them.) But a humbly spiritual man at heart, Clinton realises that sometimes all that glitters ain’t gold and now returns to you, his beloved British audience to once again conjure up those pure selfless gifts he was born with.

For tonight, ladies and gentlemen, Clinton will all cast fame and fortune aside... and heal the world!
