IT'S adults only at Southport Theatre at the end of the month when Bernard Manning puts in an appearance.
This is a performance with a difference, as parts will be recorded to appear in a film which will not be released until after Bernard's death, whenever that may be.
A few revelations are promised, and the only way to hear them while the controversial comic is alive and kicking is to attend.
Although his brand of humour has restricted his television appearances in recent years, Bernard still has many fans, with former Rochdale MP, Cyril Smith, claiming that Bernard's onstage persona is far removed from his more 'tolerant' real self.
Madonna once asked him to perform at one of her parties, and David and Victoria Beckham have been seen in the audience at one of his concerts.
