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."

Heartbreak for Tulisa as her famous dad dies – leaving cousin Dappy devastated
Renowned musician Steve Contostavlos has passed away. The keyboard player, who went by the name of Pluto, was the father of N-Dubz singer Tulisa. 7 7 7 7 The Young hitmaker has now taken to her Instagram page to post an emotional tribute. She shared a childhood image showing her snuggling with her dad and the words: "Love you pops, rest in peace. "Forever my father's daughter." Heartbroken rapper Dappy, who was in the band with his cousin Tulisa, also previously shared the sad news as he posted a video of himself with his uncle, alongside a white dove. I'm A Celeb star Tulisa commented on the post with a broken heart emoji and Dappy replied: 'I'm so sorry T.' Speaking last year about her father, she said on Paul Brunson's podcast We Need To Talk: 'Me and my dad's relationship has not been a conventional one. "I would say me and my dad now we're just more friends that kind of have an understanding of one another." Plato was well loved within the music scene during the 1970s, as part of the blues band Mungo Jerry. The band gained massive success after landing the Number 1 hit In The Summertime in 1970, with Pluto on the keyboard. Other hits from the band include Lady Rose and Alright, Alright, Alright. Plato contributed his incredible skills to the group while his brother Byron - who is Tulisa's uncle and Dappy's father - played the bass guitar. Tulisa's dad reportedly was in the band in its early days with Byron - who tragically passed in the early days of N-Dubz. Speaking about her dad's influence on her career, she said in the past: "My dad had a little studio in Dollis Hill and he used to bring me there sometimes when he was working. Tulisa reveals why she split from NDubz bandmate Fazer saying he's 'the only one who meant something' "He put me on the mic at the age of five. I was singing Little Mermaid. "I just knew there was nothing else I felt passionate about." The star has told in the past how her dad left her mum, Anne Byrne, and her when she was nine years old. Tulisa became her mum's primary carer at the tender age of 11. 7 7 Anne was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2007, a combination of bipolar and schizophrenia. When Plato left home Tulisa started staying at her aunt's house more often. She said in the past: "My dad left home and it triggered one of her episodes. "One minute she'd look all mournful as if someone had died, the next she'd be angry and aggressive, smashing cupboards and shouting. "Inevitably, she went into hospital again and I stayed with my mum's older sister, Louise."

Five mum hacks to make camping a breeze – including how to make sure your kids don't escape the tent when you're asleep
SUMMER has well and truly arrived which means millions of families will be making wonderful memories whilst camping. But as glorious as it may sound, camping is all fun and games until you realise it's too cold to fall asleep and there's nothing for lunch. 2 To help fellow parents ensure their next camping trip is a breeze, one savvy mum-of-two has come to rescue with five hacks. Spot your tent right away Mum and TikToker, only known as @ adventuresofthewests, revealed practically everything you need to know - including how to prevent your little ones from escaping the tent during nighttime. If you've been out and about exploring the local area all day long and return to the tent late at night, you'll know it'll be pretty challenging to spot it. But there's an easy solution - according to the savvy mum, from Brighton, this is where a bit of fluorescent tape comes to rescue. You can find glow-in-the-dark tape for as little as 81p on Temu, £2 on Amazon and elsewhere - and it's bound to make your next trip much easier. Simply stick around the tent rope and you're ready to go - it's really that straightforward. The tape will absorb all the light during daytime - and it'll also mean you won't trip all over the place. The camping lover said in her video: ''This is especially helpful at festivals with lots of tents close together and looking the same.'' Keyring hack As well as making your tent easier to find, adding larger keyrings to the zips will also ensure your kids are safe at night - and won't open the tent for a little wander. The mother-of-two explained: ''You can link it through two zips to stop them from getting out.'' Pop-up hotel luxury glamping at Glastonbury Keep cosy at night While today and tonight is still set to be rather toasty, there's no denying that British weather is unpredictable - and we're bound to have nights cooler than others. As fun as camping may be, trying to fall asleep when you're shivering is never pleasant - which is why it's essential to pack items to stay warm in a tent. Three camping tips from an expert David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about how to make a camping trip run smoothly. When visiting any campsite this summer it's important to make sure you're not making simple mistakes that could ruin your holiday. Check your tent David recommends putting your tent up a couple of weeks before you're due to travel to give you enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts. He told Sun Online Travel: 'You'd be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents." Test the ground Picking a good spot to pitch your tent is difficult, with lots of things to consider. One of those should be the condition of the ground you're putting your tent on top of, according to David. He said: 'Once you've found the perfect spot, test the ground with your pegs before you commit to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough." Don't nap in your tent It may seem the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent could end badly, if it's done at the wrong time of the day. David explained: "If the sun's shining and it's hot inside your tent - don't do it! "One of our friends nodded off in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up at the medical tent with heatstroke." Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well ventilated. Although many of us may assume this means bringing loads of blankets to chuck on top of you, the Brighton-based mother advised to '' add more layers underneath '' for the ultimate sleep. ''We used a blanket, a foil blanket and slot together foam mats underneath our boys' inflatable mattress - and it works a treat.'' Prep your food ahead of time There's nothing quite as frustrating as realising there's nothing to eat for lunch or dinner - only to then have to drive for miles on end to the nearest shop for pricey meals. To avoid forking out a fortune and having to cook whilst camping, prepping meals ahead of time is essential, the mum said. ''One pot camping dinners are ideal, as well as pre-cooking pasta, so you can then just add a sauce. ''And pre-making pancake mix is another great one.'' This, she added, will also save you heaps of time not having to wash up as many dishes - which is never a fun part of camping. Freeze meals and blocks of ice As well as pre-cooking your meals, such as a scrumptious spag bol, the mum recommended freezing them, on top of freezing blocks of ice. ''This will keep your cool box way cooler for longer and when the water does melt, it'll be trapped in the lunch box rather than making everything wet.''
