Bernard Manning Ate My Tortoise
-
Gullivers Lounge, 109 Oldham Street, Manchester
M4 1LW
A comedic spoken word extravaganza which forms part of the 2025 Greater Manchester Fringe Festival.
This multi-faceted show features comedy, poetry, storytelling, flash fiction and even a little bit of magic. As well as revealing the unsavoury eating habits of 1980s celebrities, it also describes the trials and tribulations of a man who accidentally dismembers himself and pays tribute to the wondrous luminosity of Jurgen Klopp’s teeth. It embraces the best and worst of popular culture from the 1970s through to the present day, featuring the likes of Bono, Jeremy Kyle, Morrissey, Phil "The Power" Taylor, Ed Sheeran, Bruce Forsyth, Phil Foden, the mighty Slade and lots of others. Especially recommended for lovers of pop music. And lovers of laughter.
