Comedian Jason Manford took to social media to share a devastating statement with his fans as he issued an apology
Jason Manford fans were devastated after the comedian made a last-minute announcement on Wednesday. The comedian-turned-actor took to social media to share an update on his upcoming performances.
The statement read: “We regret to inform you that tonight’s performance of A Manford All Seasons @albanarena has been unexpectedly cancelled due to Jason Manford being unwell and will now be rescheduled to Mon 20th Oct 2025. Thank you for understanding, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Unlike his usual posts on Twitter /X, it appeared as though someone had shared the update for him. It comes after Jason hit out at a hotel’s “ridiculous policy” earlier in the month following one of his shows.

Following his latest update, fans were quick to send messages of well wishes. One user wrote: “Get well soon Jase, take it easy fella.”
Another echoed the sentiment, saying: “Get well soon but perhaps stop burning the candle at both ends.” And a third added: “Hope you get well soon Jason, I know cancelling shows is a last resort for you. Take care of yourself.”
However others made light of the situation as one jibed: “Are you sure your hotel didn’t just cancel your room?” They added a winking face emoji to the tongue-in-cheek comment.
The comment referred to the 44-year-old comedian’s fiasco which left him needing to share a hotel room with a friend because it was overbooked despite having a reservation. He was in Bournemouth before his A Manford All Seasons show, but was told by staff at the hotel that the place was overbooked for the night.
Staff at the Village Hotel told Jason at the time that his room was sold to someone else due to his late arrival. Because of the issue, Jason had to share a room with his friend Steve.
But he wasn’t prepared to just let the issue go. He took to social media to share his dissatisfaction. “So we got to our hotel tonight in Bournemouth and it’s fully booked. We were like, ‘Fine, that’s good – well done you’,” he said.
“They went, ‘No, no, as in like without you’. So me and Steve, obviously [we’re] in separate rooms. And then we just discovered that basically if it’s fully booked it means that, [you have to share].
“Okay, don’t worry, it is what it is, these things happen – all that b******t! I mean we spent all day together! Oh, well, at least we’ve got a nice view of the car park. Oh well, these things happen and all that. Worse things happen at sea. But Village Hotel, just beware, if you are booking and it’s a busy day in a busy city…”
He went on: “I mean, we’re lucky that [our booking] was two rooms because that fella coming behind us, a doctor as well, and no room for him. He just had to walk out, and like and there’s no rooms anywhere in Bournemouth tonight. Naughty that, naughty. I’ve heard of aeroplanes doing it, but I’ve never known in 25 years of touring, a hotel doing it. That’s not on, that is not on.”
