COMEDIAN and TV presenter Jason Manford is opening a comedy club in Rayleigh.
The star, who presented BBC 1’s the One Show and regularly appears on shows 8 like Out of 10 Cats, will open a Manford’s Comedy Club, at the Rayleigh Mill Arts Centre, on Friday, October 3.
After visiting the centre last week, Manford took to social media to ask whether there was a demand for live comedy in Rayleigh.
He said: “So I visited a cute little art centre in the sleepy Essex town of Rayleigh last week to see if it could viably sustain a monthly comedy night for Manford’s Comedy Clubs!
“The staff seem convinced, the comedians fancy it – but my question is, is there enough demand for it?”
Manford’s Facebook page was inundated with a show of support for the venture, with fans posting comments backing the plan.
