Bernard Manning Dead
« on: 17:12:03, 18/06/07 »
Manchester's most controversial commedian, Bernard Manning, has died - just as the media was saying that he was recovering from a kidney problem.  I never found him thatoffensive, butthen I never found him that funny either.

Jim Bowen and Frank Carson both said a few words about Bernard Manning on the Stephen Nolan show on
Radio Ulster this morning. As Jim said, Bernard was one of the best and always played to a packed house.

Click to hear Frank Carson's tribute to Bernard Manning which was recorded at Bernard's funeral on 27th June this year. I agree with Arthur about Bernard and the same applies to Frank. I regarded Dave Allen as a great comedian.
