one by one the big names of comedy are falling.
such a shame they're not being replaced in similar numbers.

 

[Nitefly]

Was a poor comedian in my book, but nevertheless... rest in peace.

R.I.P Bernard.

Went to see him at the Commodore club in Nottingham in the late 80's - my face hurt i was laughing that much.

And to be fair, the table next to us was full of black guys and they were crying with laughter too and they got a LOT of stick.

Good on em i say for not taking his line of comedy too seriously.

 

[dirtydog]

Rest In Peace.

 

[FerociouS]

Only laugh he's ever gotten out of me.

RIP

he wasnt everyones cup of tea so to speak but you got what u saw when he was on stage, went to see him once @ normanton with a few friends he ripped the carp out of my m8 for going for a packet of crisps while he was on stage hehe the whole place was in stitches was nothing but quality (provided u like that kind of humour) from the start of the show to the end.

While his material didn't do it for me, he knew his audience and was loved and appreciated by many.

 

[Substance]

Why all the negativity, i think his turkey drummers are amazing,

Lol, only joking,

RIP

 

[Pookie Bear]

Rest In Peace.

Ditto.

what you did? as in not make sense?
it's common knowledge what type of comedy Manning delivered, therefore tickets for his shows were bought by people who liked that style and content.
i've certainly never heard of him "dying" on stage.

 

[Rotty]

His choice of topics never bothered me, but his sheer arrogance did.

.

yep, was indifferent about his comedy but saw him on a chat show once ( Mrs Merton IIRC ) and he made himslef look a first class prat

 

[Efour]

You obviously haven't seen/read/heard his more.. controversial material if you think it is just plain "PC" getting in the way.

no you are right. Im not northern or working class enough

actually edited.

He was a pillock.

 

[Hellsmk2]

Odd - Just yesterday I was wondering when he was going to die. Now I know!

RIP.

What?

 

[NokkonWud]

He was a legend from another era back before being PC spoiled the outrageous humor

Yep, unfortunately PC is ruining a lot more than humour.

Tommy Cooper was the best at that IMHO

Agreed.

Brings back the old saying *stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me*

R.I.P

He might have claimed to not be racist, but he never did anything to help race relations. After seeing him on Mrs Merton my opinion of him was strengthened. I wont miss him so no RIP from me.
