I Worked with Bernard at a Club in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. He gave a terrific performance both Comedy, Clean and Funny, and a wonderful vocalist. He went out of his way to thank the backing duo, Paul Kirner (Hammond Organ) and Paul Kind (Percussion) for the terrific backing they provided. RIP Bernard!

[@brenwalsh9232]

The best thing about Bernard was that he was a very genuine down to earth caring type character. No airs and graces, and a sincerely good heart. Nothing fake or dishonest with him. Didn't BS, or look to impress. No ego, no narcissism, unlike a whole lot of other so called celebrities.

I played at the Embassy a few times and old Bernard (who died owing me few quid) looked at me and my three saxophones. on stage, saying "He's not a real sax player, y'know! He nicked all this stuff from a plumbers scrap yard!" I'd been warned not to blow a musical retort at him or he would destroy me. Incredible club, incredible guy, incredible experience for a 25 year old muso. finding his way through the VAST Manchester cabaret scene of the 70s.

I've seen Bernard Manning on TV from the early 70s in 'The comediens', I think there is a serious side to him but comedy is his life and he is bloody good at it in all he says. He also exemplifies it with his comical face, voice and delivery, I love him.

Bernard was a comedian, that’s how he made a living. He didn’t make a living by being gratuitously offensive, otherwise nobody would go to watch him. Those who took offence are are snowflakes. You don’t have to go and watch him. You have to pay to watch. Don’t like him don’t go, don’t pay, walk out. He told joke about everyone...including himself. You can’t make a living by being offensive, but you can by being funny. He did. He was the King of Comedy.

Bernard was a comedy legend, there's comedians, and there's Bernard Manning. It's just his appearance, delivery, the accent, it's a full package and that's why he was such a successful standup and never had a bad show.. he was just naturally funny. I often wonder how his act tho would have been received in Las Vegas and USA where he did shows.. because with that heavy Northern accent I think many American's would have struggled a bit with understanding him. Most of his jokes are simple English and fairly easy jokes so I think maybe Americans could get these jokes even with the accent, he doesn't use that much unique British slang in his routines, only occasionally. Any American's care to comment? Is Bernard Manning hard to understand?
