1981

Jason John Manford (born 26 May 1981) is an English comedian, presenter, actor and singer.

Jason John Manford was born in Salford on 26 May 1981, the son of Sharon (née Ryan) and courtroom stenographer and trade union shop steward in the NHS Ian Manford.

His maternal grandmother, Nora (née Peate), was an Irish Catholic from Dublin.

Manford and his four siblings grew up in a terraced house in the Whalley Range area of Manchester.

He attended St Margaret's Primary School in Whalley Range, and later Chorlton High School (at the time known as Oakwood High School).

He formed a band in school with two friends, Simon and Neil, with his mother later saying that this was what got him into singing.

During a Twitter exchange in which Manford defended strike action undertaken by British Railway workers in the ASLEF trade union, Manford recalled the various workplaces he had worked in before his current career including building sites, call centres, shops, bars, warehouses and offices, stating "I didn't just leave school and say 'right, I'm off to play the arena!. While working as a glass collector at a local pub, Manford became interested in comedy after watching the likes of Eddie Izzard, Peter Kay and Johnny Vegas perform at the local comedy club. Kay recommended him to undertake an HND in media and performance at the University of Salford, which Kay himself had done.
