Bernard
A simply fantastic show. he is one of the funniest individuals currently performing in Edinburgh. His act is well researched, erudite,energetically delivered and incredibly impressive. Its about time that the BBC and others dumped the crap that currently passes for comedy and gave this chap a contract. Quite the best thing seen for years!

He asked me before the night began about what was allowed or expected...when i said its a male only night and anything goes ..well didn't know what we were going to get ! He gave us one of the best nights entertainment !
From his early school days and his family life to growing up and moving around the country it was a hoot from beginning to end ! His interaction with the audience (and Chairman!) was excellent and he is a very quick witted man ...
Wouldn't hesitate to book him again and I am sure we will have him down for another night in the future !
