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.

Chaos reigns in the World Premiere of this satirical farce of mistaken identities and disastrous decisions from the pen of Nigel Planer. 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 underwear in the process.

A self-obsessed banker, a brazen blogger and a sex-crazed artist are just some of the eccentric characters trying - but failing - to make a difference.

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.

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.

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!

Pauline Daniels returns to the stage in 2021 with her hotly anticipated stand up comedy tour. Described as a 'joyous performer' by Sir Ken Dodd OBE, she continues to be one of Britain’s hardest working stand up comedienne's of our generation. With her unique brand of humour and breathtaking vocals, she's coming to a venue near you for an evening guaranteed to have you rolling in the aisles with laughter!

Pauline says "Trying to find a name for the show wasn’t difficult, I’m a WASPI and one of the 3.8 million women born in the 50’s who have been badly hit by the change in state pension age from 60 to 65. I however have to wait until I’m 66, so I’ve had to haul this bedraggled old body off round the country to make up my money... thank god I wasn’t a street sex worker, I'd owe them!"

A Twentieth Anniversary Tour!

After many years of giving his wonderful lecture talks of his he does, Count Arthur Strong has at last bowed to substantial pubic demand and allowed himself be talked into making the show about himself for once. And that had never occurred to him before because of him being highly magnanimous.

From his breakthrough Edinburgh Fringe show ‘Forgotten Egypt’ in 2002, to talking about himself in 2022. Arthur has two decades of memories from his ten national tours, 15 years of his multi Award winning radio show and three series of his BAFTA nominated TV sitcom.
