Comedy: Bernard Manning

British comedian Bernard Manning is still alive. Here are some classy photos. Discussion of humour that mentions Manning. Good analysis of his act here, including gratuitous slur of Birmingham. An internet search for Bernard Manning jokes turns up the same four or five, none very good.

He paid tribute to Mother Teresa (and Hitler's economic policies) on British radio. There was controversy in 2003 over his planned appearance at a British National Party (neo-Nazi) event. Little known fact: he stripped at Richie's stag party.
