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!

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.

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.

Bernard Manning asked me for directions over 40 years ago. This is not a joke. I was riding my moped and pulled up to the lights. A Rolls Royce pulled up along side, the back window rolled down, and Bernard said "Oi sunny, do you know where Sunnyside is". Luckily I was a teenager and knew everything. Unfortunatly that was the only thing I did not know at the time. Although I now know a lot less than I did then, it is blindigly obvious where the Sunnside is, because it is near where I live.

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?
