However, Jason, 44 has run into trouble at his latest stop in Bournemouth.
He’s currently visiting various cities and towns as part of his ‘A Manford All Seasons’ string of shows.
After travelling all day with his pal, he expected to have a rest at the Village Hotel in the coastal city.
However, he took to social media in anger as he was forced to share a room with his pal as the hotel was overbooked.
The post on X – formerly known as Twitter – read: “What’s your minimum expectation when you book a room at @Villagehotelsup?
“Staff were lovely but policy stinks!”
He accompanied his angry message with a video rant as he made his way to his hotel room with his pal Steve, who may form part of the touring entourage.
Ironically, his pal had the same name as his character in Waterloo Road where he played a corrupt headmaster.
In the almost two minute video, he explained: “So we got to our hotel tonight in Bournemouth and it’s fully booked. We were like, ‘fine. So that’s good, well done you’.
They went, ‘No, no, as in like without you’. So me and Steve, obviously [we’re] in separate rooms.
And then we just discovered that basically if it’s fully booked it means that, [you have to share].”
Laughing out loud, he sarcastically joked: “I mean we spent all day together. Oh, well, at least we’ve got a nice view of the car park!”
Before continuing: “Oh well, these things happen and all that. Worst things happen at sea.
“But Village Hotel, just beware, if you are booking and it’s a busy day in a busy city, you could, I mean, we’re lucky that [our booking] was two rooms because that fella coming behind us.
What’s your minimum expectation when you book a room at Village Hotels? Staff were lovely but policy stinks!

“A doctor as well and no room for him. He just had to walk out, and like and there’s no rooms anywhere in Bournemouth tonight.”
Reprimanding the hotel in the video, he added: “Naughty that, naughty.
“I’ve heard of aeroplanes doing it, but I’ve never known in 25 years of touring, a hotel doing it. That’s not on, that is not on.”
He panned round the camera of his room, to show two single beds, as he remarked: “So we’ve managed to make best of our situation.
“But that poor doctor, maybe we could get a little, I think he could sleep on the floor!
“Yeah, he’ll be alright. Anyway, good night.”
