Bernard John Manning (13 August 1930 – 18 June 2007) was an English stand-up comedian and nightclub owner. He was born and raised in Manchester in North West England. Manning courted controversy because his act often contained material involving ethnic stereotypes and minority groups. This type of material, common among British stand-up comedians in the 1970s, was largely excluded from television from the 1980s onwards. Manning continued to perform in theatres and pubs until his death.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Bernard John Manning (13 August 1930 – 18 June 2007) was an English stand-up comedian and nightclub owner. He was born and raised in Manchester in North West England. Manning courted controversy because his act often contained material involving ethnic stereotypes and minority groups. This type of material, common among British stand-up comedians in the 1970s, was largely excluded from television from the 1980s onwards. Manning continued to perform in theatres and pubs until his death. Critics of his humour described much of it as racist, although Manning himself denied this.
  • Bernard Manning was een Brits komiek. Hij werd soms controversieel bevonden, omdat zijn humor dikwijls met etnische stereotypen speelde, hetgeen normaal was in de zeventiger jaren, maar vanaf de jaren tachtig van de televisie werd geweerd; Manning bleef ermee doorgaan in zaalshows. Ofschoon hij het zelf ontkende, verdachten zijn critici hem ervan dat hij een racist was.
