Blackley Cemetery and Crematorium
Blackley Cemetery is a large, municipal cemetery situated within the northern suburbs of the city of Manchester
In 1959 Manning borrowed £30,000 from his father and bought a run-down billiard hall on Rochdale Road, and called it Embassy Club. The club played host to many other acts, and Manning claimed that the Beatles performed there early in their career. Bernard Manning made his television debut in 1971 on the Granada comedy show The Comedians. Bernard Manning compared The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, which began in 1974.

Comedy legend! There will never be another Bernard. Never forget the gag about the Nun and the Punk Rocker!
I have to look the joke up Darren
lovely man bernard made millions laugh thanks allan
Mum and dad and thier friends always went to see him and they met him and they said he was a really nice man
The best comedian I ever saw in Blackpool, It was frightening to get up and go to toilet when he was on stage.
He was my favourite comedian…perfect timing…
I remember wheel tappers great show thank you x
Hello, Maureen, they make good shows in those days
Thank you 🙏 great man good entertainer Rip 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧
Great bloke and an absolute gentleman off stage
Adsoululty great, I'm 68 we never had racism in Glasgow I had many Asian friends we all e enjoyed the humor and were all tolerant of our backgrounds. Our lifes were hard enough all you wanted was a laugh. Good one Alan.
Cracking video, Bernard was a fantastic comedian.
Brilliant comic not like todays crap 🙂🙂🙂
True Shane
Larger than life character. In the day before all this PC stuff.
He didn’t give a toss .
Great video . Hope you have a great Christmas and all the best for 2023, Alan ❤
Very funny man.
It was of it's time.
Clever
Hi my dad was Colin Crompton's gardener for a long time xxx
Hi there I'm John from East London I just want to say when I watched some of he's videos I'm always laughing he's just so funny😂
He was so funny he did not care what he said. He said things other people would not dare to see
I like. He always said he spoke about everybody. Nobody was safe :-)
Love watching your vidios you've got a great personality careing
I have played at his club in the 1960s. This was the old Cintra cinema on Rochdale Road, then the Cintra Bingo and then the Embassy. It was an audition and we didn't get the gig!
Bernard Manning one of the best comedians Patrick.
I think Esther Ranson has a nerve!! When you think what she was connected to and aspects of her private life. Glass houses and stones comes to mind. If people don't like him, then don't watch. Choice.
I Totally agree with you, Bernard Manning was all right in my Books, Funny man & very witty person, I don't watch any comedy on TV.in fact i hardly watch TV.😊
What bit of Comedy I've seen is Bloody Crap.Standing in a ball room of some sort There about as funny as indigestion, As you said all TVs have buttons bloody press one & Shut up moaning, God Bless you,
She once said that a woman shouldn't tell her partner if the baby isn't his if she doesn't want to!!! So, live a lie & deceive him. I no longer liked her & I believe she was saying what she thinks others want to hear in that video.
Found another one!
Bernard Manning was a fellow with a huge amount of talent that brought happiness to many. RIP BM -- we miss you❤😂🎉😂❤.
Great video i went in is club couple months ago landlady shown me the room where he done is gigs great man
Loved Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club. Colin Crompton grave also there. He was fantastic ringing the bell. Did a good George Formby
My mum was a teacher in Oldham in the late 80s. She helped take the kids to a local roller rink one day. Mum hadn't skated for years and was practising at the side using the rails. This small broad man in a vest appeared with a mop and bucket and he told her to fall on him as he was soft. Only later did she realize it was Bernard Manning and he owned the rink!
Absolute legend was Bernard I saw him four times 👌 he was a lovely man and like he said it’s an act and there just jokes never ever take a joke seriously, a lot of people didn’t like him because he told the Truth and well some people just don’t like that do they, but he was an absolute legend did more for charity in his own lifetime that millions of others couldn’t have done collectively and not many people mention that do they! God Bless ya Bernard you are very very badly missed 🙏💙🙏 great video this thanks for uploading ✊
about every creed and colour. I agree there's often an element of truth in the joke, but nobody was not in his firing line they don't have comedians like that nowadays. They have to be oh so careful! Thanks a lot Smithy
Saw in late live in cleveleys he was funny man
I loved Bernard Manning. Very funny
If you haven't already seen it you should watch Bernard Manning From Beyond The Grave, it was filmed before and after his death so it's like Bernard is actually at his own funeral
Hi Abe I've seen that title but I've never watched it so thank you for telling me I'll let you know what I think
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep You're welcome mate 👍
Mrs Merton show.Brillant.Tiswas weighing machine.The best.Thanks for the insight.
Another fav of my late father and me I have visited his grave a few times as I don’t live that far away from the Cemetery. I saw a video on UA-cam about him attending his own funeral it was so good of course it was funny too if you haven’t seen it it’s a must!. Thank you so much Alan RIP BM ❤
Absolutely, I've seen it. Typical of Bernard
Hi Alan I remember him in the wheel tappers and shuntter Club along with Colin Crampton a fun guy.
I saw Bernard manning in 2002, He is Class, R.I.P Bernard.
"Bets of order! Thank you! Please!" I remember the Wheeltappers and Shunters Club" well.
He was the best he could not be matched a very funny man.(they can't stop you laughing he used to say)Bernard you had me pissing myself R.I.P🤣😂
Esther a good friend to Jimmy Saville
Loved Bernard new him well lived near hi he did a lot for charity a great comedian used to go to his club the embassy areal nice man and great comedians new his son young Bernard rip Bernard make em laugh
Thank you for the personal memories. Kelly
Unfortunately I never had the pleasure to see Bernard live but do love his material a true one off he was, I seen the beyond the grave footage very moving when he talks about his mum bless him he had a big heart, would of been honored to have met him he was a good man, he did indeed do lots for charity but never got the recognition he should of. He done full circle had the Embassy done Vegas, royal variety, drove a Rolls he accomplished in life what he wanted how he wanted never took life too seriously & spent his life making people laugh R.I.P Bernard your Legend lives on, one of the true greats 👏 ❤
Great to know Alan! My son Chris shares his birthday 13th August (Same as Alan Shearer). My mam was also a Mary Ellen too! Bernard Manning wow! Back in the days you could get away with murder. In person these people were just human like us! ❤. Keep up the great work Alan. ❤ya
Well fancy that Paul. All the best. People were born on the 13th of August 😁
He was a nice man, worked with him many times at the willows Salford, when I was a DJ.
How sweet of you to say Sandy I also instinctively light, Bernard
If you watch that episode of Parkinson, you will see that he even got Esther Ransen laughing - as much as she tried not to.
I remember the wheel tappers and shunters club "on the committee" went to the Embassy club, you daren't get out of your chair or he would have you..funny guy, sure he was a Man City fan..
Hi Jo Yeah, we're a very funny show. There was some good talent on it but then Colin Crompton would start ringing the bell in the middle of the acts and shout PIES ARE UP are up hilarious
As usual, loved this one Alan. Brings back memories to as I saw Bernard at his Embassy club in the early eighties. Always thought he was a very funny guy. Thanks for your Vlogs - always very enjoyable.
Hello Louise, people like you make it all worthwhile. Thank you for being so sweet. Regards, Alan
Hi Alan. I’ve just subscribed. I saw Bernard live three times, total hero! The last time i saw him, he had played near Manchester the night before, and tripped over the mike lead and fallen off the stage. His face was all bruised, and he could only use one hand, but he travelled to entertain us. Real trooper. On a side note, Colin Crompton used to run a pub near me too, the “Antrobus Arms”. I went in a few months after he died, and there were photos of him and Bernard etc covering all the walls. 👍
I remember Bernard when I was a child ,lol I probably didn't understand his humour, only when i grew up, thank you and hi to richard ,call him mr drone joke.
Hello Andrea, I'll send your You're a low onto Richard I call him Mr. Drone not because of his flying but because he drones on..... :-)
A legend rip .good one again Alan ❤
And you mate. Thank you Paul
hi Allen another good one i enjoyed the sunday livestream keep them up the group can see the other members.
Yes, Tony, that's a great idea I'll do it every week while I'm touring and we can all see everybody's thoughts?
hi allen it went really well im still in touch with todd fisher and im going to visit his mums museum next year
Thanks again Alan for yet again a good tribute and I admire your honesty of liking Bernard,in general I liked his comedy although of course sometimes he was controversial with some subjects and dont think he would get away with it now(Enough said).Didn't see you tap the top of his gravestone as you normally do.Cheers.Roger
Hello Rodger, I did see Bernard live and I did admiring for his sensibility in that he took the fun out of everybody. I don't know about tapping the stone unless I watch it again have a happy New year! Alan
@MotorHome Beep Beep Thanks Alan and a very happy new year to you!
I remember hearing a story that he once entertained at a night out party for a private police function. He did his usual material and had all these watching off duty policemen in stitches !
I remember seeing one where he picked on a minority gentleman. Shall we say and the organisers got angry with him but he faced him head on and said I made jokes about everybody. Nobody is out of bounds. That's what makes it ok. I believe this is kind of true. There wasn't any body. It was safe which was kind of nice. At the end of the day it was just humour meant to make people happy.
i love your videos ypur no1 fan steven
At the end of the day he was funny 😊
He also gave a lot of people their starts, first paying gigs as the Embassy Club. I'm sure he was shrewd in business, too, he was a lot more than a comedian.
Can we have a lot more of this ,When are we going to see Last of the summer wine , from the beginning. Keep up the good work loved every minute
Thank you ever so much Mary. That's very nice of you to encourage me. I'll try and do my best to produce as many as possible. Regards, Alan
Joined the embassy in 1965 you got a life memship blue card one of the memories in there was when Stan bowles was in there and had seen him playing in the afternoon think it was his debut. Bernard said he's only drinking orange juice Stan lived near me Bradford road
Very funny man
Very funny man, and as you say it was all an act, did his bit for charity as well, we used to go to his club once a month at the height of his success, his spot was generally earlyish, as he would generally have a late engagement at some other venue, his place was always lively with some decent acts, he would generally do an hour or so, they were lovely nights, his place was always full every weekend.
I subscribed and hit the notification bell.
Thank you! there be lots of new content coming soon. I hope you enjoy keep in touch bye
He was funny especially about the dog been born in a barn. Dose not make it a horse. Funny but true
Why have a dog and bark yourself? Woof woof
Hi saw him a few times at jollies cabaret club mum had a signed signiture no my cuppa though xx
Like the graves and the back grownd david
A lot of the old comedians were good. A lot of the new ones are crap due to political correctness. God Bless you Bernard you are a legend.
Well he was no villain just good entertainment if people didn't like they didn't not have to watch him
Very controversial don't know how he got away with some of the jokes but they were funny. And he had that face he makes. He was good. I remember the club he had think it was Oldham never went but years later I went past and it was pointed out to me. Very interesting once again thanks I enjoyed it. Love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙
Hello Gill I thought it was very funny so I'm once live and as he always said he told jokes about every type of race, colour. Whatever there was nobody that that escaped. In today's world it would have been probably impossible now. Whether you like him or not, he brought happiness to a lot of people. Thank you for the great comment as always see you again sooner. Alan
Hi Alan hope your well, enjoying your videos, but have too say not your singing 😉 got someone that I was wondering if you could look up, as far as I know it would be a first, her name. Elizabeth sladen… Sarah Jane from Dr Who… keep up the good work Alan.. best regards from me in Scotland 🏴
Hi, Andy So you're not going to buy my latest CD? Never mind I'll take a look at the actress later today for sure. And thank you for the suggestion. I also want to thank everyone who is a subscriber. Greatly appreciated. Regards, Alan
Yes he was all right,was helping a friend with a stone fireplace on a Saturday morning and Bernard came to the front door and said don’t make any noise I’m just going to bed ; I said ok so I got the cement mixer out turned it on and put a couple of bricks in it and used a mixing board, he never came back out. We finished at 4pm , if he had just said good morning 😂😂.
I grew up watching hm & many others he was just JOKING!!! It WASNT personal & he didn’t hate the people he made fun of which was anyone & everyone.
Grave very poorly looked after,sad to see
Loved him he was reet gradley
I agree Valerie. Very funny
Great footage. Great if you could do cilla 😊black
If you take a look, I've done Cilla and Ken Dodd at the same time
Alan.. what a funny man. That's when people made fun of other people... without offending anyone. Wow..A legend...How times have changed. RIP 🙏 💐
Hi Richard 👋
It's all right Sandra. We are like different. I used to love Kenny Everett. He was really different. Thank you for the great comment!
He said he was going to be buried at sea. As people said that they was going to dance on his grave. LOL
Boom boom Teresa :-)
"We are having trouble with the acoustics.so we've set traps!"
good film - my mam and dad were cremated there - there's only one test of a comedian - does he/she/it/they etc make you laugh or not? And his old performances on youtube certainly make me laugh! He was brilliant. Also for any non-North Mancs - 'Blackley' is pronounced 'blake-lee', not 'blackly'. My auntie Lil who lived next door to us in Crumpsall told us they caught a German spy because he pronounced it wrong. Ha. Who knows?
Bernard sell jokes about every subject and every race that was always his reasoning for never being racist. I don't get your joke about the German spy 😆
Hiya Alan, I was never a Bernard Manning fan. But we can't like everyone. Alan I have decided to leave social media including UA-cam. This is purely for personal reasons, keep up the good work. Much love Ayesha x
Ok Ayesha Best, alan
Sadly lost top man .
I'm sure that privately Bernard was. a lovely family man. Everyone says he was a great comedian, but he made me feel very uncomfortable. Perhaps I was too sheltered, but his innuendos made me feel I wanted to get away . There is no doubt that he had a fantastic stage presence and huge personality. It just wasn't my type of humour. Bernard, RIP.
I liked Bernard more people should be like him imagine him with the packistan. PM funny
Tight to the very end. Didn't want to pay for his own grave?
Where did his old fella get 30 grand from to lend him in 19 59.
Never a racist my sister who is Irac ey worked collecting coats so they were a joke
I am not someone who is against religion etc as I loved Dave Allen and he was very controversial and so funny. Bernard Manning,I just didn’t like him.
What? You went looking for Manning's grave? He was a mediocre comedian, a rather repulsive individual and a sharp business man. Keep Motorhoming. Cheers
Bernard Manning the poster boy for the BNP with his racist brand of humour!
He was simply funny and wasn't a racist. If you ever visited his club ( which you probably didn't) the audience was a mixed raced group who were there simply to laugh and not take exception to the Gags. Check out how much money this guy raised for various charities, for various religions and of people of various colours. Nobody was forced to go his club and nobody was forced to watch him on TV
Brainwashed !
I did not like him that much Alan sorry I am from Manchester now live in west yorkshire
Hi Leeann no problem. It takes all sorts. We all like different things. Take care, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep you too
I am sorry Alan I did not find him funny just the same as Tommy Cooper,I didn’t find him funny either. 😂did like Morecombe and Wise,the Two Ronnies and Kenny Everett.
Omg! I couldn’t stand him,sorry.
Brilliant I loved Bernard manning he came to the orral park ball room the place was up with him il never forget it I have watched shooting from the lip video thousands of times and still laff at it especially the one about Terry wait and the fella that won the lottery absolute class he was the greatest of them all I think they should be playing his videos on big screen in the embassy club Bernard manning nights I think the missing a trick there it would do well I reckon selling out every night it's like they do Elvis he's on the screen and the band was playing live to him well done Alan you come across brilliant when doing these vids lad
