Following Jason Manford’s winning performance on
the live final of Born to Shine (ITV1), on Sunday night, he is now
looking forward to performing with the critically acclaimed Alfie Boe on his UK
tour in December.
Alfie and Jason met earlier in the year, on the
ITV1 series Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford, when at the last minute
Jason had to step in for Matt Lucas who had fallen ill, but was scheduled to
duet with Alfie.
Jason explains “It was an honour to perform with
Alfie on Comedy Rocks earlier in the year and it certainly whet my appetite for
singing opera, which is why it was brilliant that I got professional training
for Born to Shine. Even though I’m used to performing to live audiences on tour
every week, singing alongside Alfie, on his show will take the nerves to a
whole new level.”
Jason Manford performs with Alfie Boe – 17th December 2011 at Blackpool Opera House, Blackpool.
Jason Manford continues his UK tour – Off
on Tour We Go, which culminates on 29th November at the O2 Arena in London. For more information go to: www.jasonmanford.com
