About the show

Manchester’s pantomime will be paved with gold as comedy sensation Jason Manford and panto favourite Ben Nickless return to the Opera House to star in Dick Whittington.

Join our hero on a quest for fame, fortune and happiness as he journeys towards becoming Lord Mayor.

Packed with all the traditional pantomime ingredients audiences expect from Manchester Opera House, this action-packed production promises laugh-out-loud comedy, plenty of boos and hisses, and lavish sets and costumes from The London Palladium.

Renowned for his hilarious observations and loveable, friendly delivery, Jason has been a firm favourite with comedy fans of all ages since his first solo stand-up show earned him huge critical acclaim and a nomination for the prestigious Perrier Newcomer Award back in 2005. ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ (Channel 4), ‘The Nightly Show’ (ITV1), ‘Sunday Night at the Palladium’ (ITV1), ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC One), ‘Have I Got News For You’, (BBC One), QI (BBC Two) and ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ (ITV1) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic. Jason Manford was #1 in Ents24's Hardest Working Comedians of 2018 list.
