After being forced to reschedule four of his tour dates last week, Jason Manford has updated his fans on his most recent developments.
Jason Manford has suffered a “heart-stopping moment” as he gets set to join his family on holiday following his recent health concerns. The comedian was forced to cancel a number of shows last-minute last week, causing concern among fans.
He later revealed he had needed surgery to have his appendix removed. The issue initially meant he was unable to carry out four scheduled shows – and also stopped him flying out on holiday with his family.
However, the father-of-six had other ideas and set about created a new travel itinerary so he could get to Portugal for the family getaway without flying.

In his latest update, Jason has revealed he took a ferry to Bilbao for the opening leg of his 33-hour journey. Speaking from his vehicle, Jason told his followers on Twitter/X: “We got pulled into the side and the van searched and whatnot.”
He told his friend, “My padel rackets are looking at me,” when he explained. Jason joked, “I think he thought I was reselling them because I had his kids’ rackets as well.”
The most worrying moment, he continued, was when he went to “what’s in there,” which is similar to a box of Will Powders products. And when I opened this bag of collagen peptide, let me tell you, I had my heart in my mouth.
Jason chuckled as he opened the product, “It’s literally a bag of white powder.” He then made the joke that he had to “get away with it,” laughing indignantly.
Following last week’s cancellations, Jason has kept fans informed about his plans and health concerns. He took to social media to share a photo of himself in a hospital bed after being informed on Thursday that three additional shows were scheduled to be postponed.
Jason wrote, “Appendix surgery all went well, and now I’m recovering with my Vimto, which are all hospitals in Manchester. Although it was a terrifying and agonizing 24 hours, I am grateful to our NHS and my incredible nurse mother, who is a godsend in times of crisis.
He then gave his followers a tongue-in-cheek piece of “advice.” He said, “My advice is to avoid getting appendicitis while driving at 70 mph on the highway!”
Seriously, I’m upset that I had to change the weekend dates, and I apologize for the late notice being sent to so many people in St Albans, Oxford, Lincoln, Skegness, and Kendall Calling.
“I was told not to worry because I believed I could get by on antibiotics and surgery so I could continue doing the shows.” Also, means that I can’t travel to Portugal on Monday to take my family on vacation! That’s life, I suppose. Thank you for all the “Get Well Soon” messages.
Comedy legend John Bishop took up his spot at Kendall Calling despite having three of his four cancelled shows rescheduled.
