I saw Bernard only once, in the Sett End.He was electric. I remember two of his tales:- one was about his dad dying and Bernard and his brother taking dad up to the cemetery in a coffin, standing it under the stairs, and booking '2 returns and a single'. The other was about him getting a job ( true) on North Pier, Blackpool on the same bill as David whitfield, who he called ' Mr Expo 67' This was a laugh at David being locked up for molesting a child, and the fact that there was a big Exposition in Canada that year called Expo 67. If only he had been taped and videod. he would certainly have been on The Comedians.
Before turning pro, Bernard was a gravedigger in New Lane.
