I was at University with Jason (Media & Performance degree) and he sang in musicals at the Theatre Society that he was also the Director of. People think of him only as a comedian but he is actually an experienced all round performer and writer.

I loved him before I heard him sing but I would have thrown my knickers on the stage....my fave comedian singing my favourite song from les mis....bloody perfection!!!! *sighs dreamily*

What a voice! My gosh!!! He also has the bonus of sounding more like Phillip Quast's Javert than any other singer I've heard. Wow! I had no idea he had a voice like that!!!!

@LordPodlington 11 жыл бұрын

I think the fact the entire room was in silence after that first line says a lot about this mans talent. A damn good comedian and an even better vocalist it seems.

OMG! He's can't introduce the song as sung "by the copper who chases Alfie Boe" and then sing like that!!! It's just....not possible!!! That. was. incredible.

It's always a surprise when someone you don't associate with singing gets up and does something like this. Okay, it's easy to make fun of someone who's out of his normal 'comfort zone', but personally I think he did a great job on this one - it's not an easy number to perform at the best of times. Bless him, that was a good job.

Totally agree ! Just found this by accident. "Big respect", Mr. Manford, and very brave to do this at something like an Alfie Boe concert ! I'd completely forgotten the song (sorry !) but hit upon it by accident tonight. Glad I did.

@ Coco pops - This is my video, I was there and I filmed it and can confirm that this IS Jason singing and NOT a backing track! The Preston Guild Hall is quite a small venue and no artist could ever get away with a backing track. I was sat in the second row and heard every word from his mouth, not the speakers.
