COMEDIAN Jason Manford has revealed how he performed his ‘weirdest gig ever’ for an injured in an ambulance.

The 34-year-old star of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was on the street outside the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton on Thursday when an ‘elderly woman’ fell and broke her arm.

Manford offered to try and lift her spirits in the back of the ambulance.

He wrote on Facebook: “Fun experience tonight after the show.

“Was just heading into the pub next door to the theatre with the band when I saw an ambulance outside the front of the theatre.

“So popped over for a nosey.

“An elderly woman had fallen on her way out and broke her arm.

“The husband seemed okay so I said hello and he let me pop into the ambulance to say hello.

“She was in such a lovely mood (I'm guessing the gas and air) so just did a couple of gags for them and the staff, some photos and left them on their way!

“Probably the smallest and weirdest 'gig' I've ever done!

“Get well soon and thanks for coming to see the show!”
