Saw him at his club several times....met him in person after a gig. Absolute gent and legend.

[@upturnedblousecollar5811]

For me, funniest bloke ever.

[@brianhorrocks3339]

Met him in Blackpool after his show.he offered to take us home….no swearing ,a true gentleman.RIP mate xx

[@martinhill9261]

He had the audience in the palm of his hand within 30 seconds.The greatest.

[@gregjones8412]

A true Englishman. He was actually a very charitable man too. Brilliant bloke!

[@alanoshea2132]

He done a massive amount for Indian Children , Got them trips to Disney land by all accounts too, So the people who called him a racist were far off the mark

His final comment on leaving the stage summed up the world we live in today. " My comedy doesn't suit everyone, but thanks for coming". Because of this many will never witness his genius.

The Greatest. Comedy is all about timing. His was the best. FACT. 😊🙏❤

[@petercross8871]

Just came across this, what a laugh, I was working on the M6 in the mid 70's, late at night, multiple vehicle pile up, we were clearing vehicles, Bernard was caught in traffic behind the crash. Going home after a gig in Birmingham. . He had us all in stitches as he cracked jokes as we worked. . . Years later I met him again at his house by Uttoxeter race course, I reminded him of the time I had met him before and he said. . ''Did you ever fucking pay me for that show I gave you'' .... 😂😂😂😂

[@geraldmoore4001]

years ago saw Bernard several times live with my mates, never had so much fun

[@keithnaylor1981]

Thank heaven he left us some performances so todays comedians can see what great comedy is like.

[@geoffreycoulson2039]

I went to his club once .he took the micky out of me .I still laughed my head off.

Manning was the best comic UK ever produced. Shame he was blacklisted by pearl clutching Media toffs

lol, he’s as r@cist and stereotyping af.

Manning was was a rare breed. Funny (to me) but offensive to many others, especially todays audiences. The work and contributions he made to charities goes unheralded (he only donated, both his time and money) unlike the many who slagged him off. He was his own man and stood firm. He might have been a Man City supporter but I'll let that slide. Thank you boss for making us laugh. He would of had a field day with the WOKE contingent. Merry Christmas King Bernard.🎅

[@peterscaife362]

Well said. I couldn’t agree more. I couldn’t give a shit who gets offended. The more the better.

The greatest stand up this great country of our ever produced. how I miss seeing him on our TV screens that was before the BBC and the liberal left decided that only the new wave crap comedy could or should be seen on our TV screens. I bet he's up in heaven now doing five shows a week with God and all his angles laughing their bollocks off in the front row seats shouting " Tell us another one you fat bastard" We who saw him should count ourselves truly blessed. God bless you Bernard.
