That may or may not be the case with Jason Manfords first DVD.

But what you do get is a very funny gig, from a constantly improving and utterly engaging comedian.

You suspect its a mixture of fine editing work and a strong core gig thats the reason for that.

4 stars

Theres even material showing, quite literally, the recording of the DVD show.

He then interviews him.

Its odd, but strangely engaging.

4 stars

Its also over quite quickly.

Finally, theres Manford On Manford, as Jasons brother, Colin, interviews him.

Theyre clearly both bemused by it, and that adds to the fun.

4 stars

The end result is a fine package, and a great value disc.

A very good DVD.
