- On returning to Britain from his National Service, Manning continued to sing professionally,whilst also working as a compere. Bernard Manning was an effective singer of popular ballads fronting many big bands during the 1950s, such as the Oscar Rabin Band. As the years passed, he would start introducing humour into his compering. This was well received and he slowly moved from being a singer/compere to a comedian.
Like many comedians of his time Bernard spent much of his professional career during the 1950’s and 60’s working the Comedy Clubs and the Northern Working Men’s Clubs.
It was in 1971 that a ground breaking TV series made by Granada TV “The Comedians” gave him his break into television. In 1974 he would use his compere skills as the host of another Granada TV show The “Wheeltappers And Shunters Social Club”
During the 1980s, Manning fell out of favour with television companies, but his appearances on the Northern Working Men’s Club circuit continued, playing to packed audiences which often included people from ethnic minorities. He never toned down his act, but had a minor television career revival towards the end of his life, including Channel 4 taking him to Bombay to perform.
In 2006, he appeared at the 40th birthday party of chef Marco Pierre White, with Madonna as one of the members of the audience.
In March 2007 he was ranked 29th on the list of the 100 Greatest Stand Up comedians in a poll conducted by Channel 4.
In his later life, although he still toured Britain, he tended to appear most frequently at his own club The Embassy.
Bernard is the absolute all-time king of stand up. No-one else even comes close.
Legend. A funny funny man. Had a great singing voice too. Proper entertainer. I never found him offensive he had a go at everyone equally including himself and it was comedy after all. People need to laugh more at themselves and not take life too seriously, Bernard was all about that.
This mans timing was fantastic 👍
Brilliant
I genuinley hope that Bernard is looking down on Manchester City and saying, 'Thank you'
No sound. Volume on max 😐
Bernard Manning told jokes at what point do some people not get that
Can't hear it
Don’t get the ‘niceone squirrel’ joke, anyone can explain?
It's a reference to the 1973 song " Nice one Cyril " about Spurs player Cyril Knowles which reached #14 in the UK charts.
Jimmy Pince aaaah, ok cheers!
No sound, copyrighted ?
Yep. I get no sound either, except a very faint, weird incomprehensible sound if I turn it right up.
There's no sound
His timing is excellent but he's avoided the f word for the television audience. This was his big break on national TV, so he's toned it down. I wanted to comment on the interview between Bernard M and Jonathon Ross but comments were closed - let the guest speak! It was a really poor, sneering encounter.
Mark Lamarr does a funny interview with Manning, if you haven't seen it already.
Jonathan Ross is shit.
The Bee Gees would agree with you there Johnny
@Johnny G yeh! Anderson just interrupts Bernard in that interview spoiling the punchlines.
No sound ?
Email me if single elvis 52 rock n roll
No sound even on max.
A very overweight comedian walks into a hospital complaining about a pain in his kidneys. A few days later he's dead. That is my favourite joke!
Bernard always use to say "They can't stop us laughing" I think you must be the exception.
