JASON Manford is to perform his latest tour show at Dudley Town Hall for a third time – as he revealed his love for the venue and for Black Country folk.

The TV comic will put on Muddle Class on Saturday, March 9, with tickets for the new date now on sale.

Manford performed the show to a sell-out 1,000-plus crowd at the St James’s Road venue last month and took to Facebook during the interval to post: “Great first half in Dudley tonight, love this room, the laughs come so big and loud they can surprise you. Top folks here in the Black Country.”

The popular comic already had a second date booked for October 3 this year, with just a few tickets remaining.

Peter Jordan, venues manager for Dudley Borough Halls, said: “We're delighted to announce that Jason Manford will be returning to Dudley Town Hall in March with his brilliant Muddle Class tour show.

“This will be Jason's third date in Dudley on his current tour.

“He clearly enjoys playing to our brilliant Black Country audiences, and we love having him here!”

Tickets cost £27.50 plus booking fees and are available via www.boroughhalls.co.uk or calling the box office on 01384 812812.
