SOL BERNSTEIN

“An instantly winning creation” Evening Standard
“No age barrier to comic genius” Edinburgh Evening News
“Bernstein’s the real deal, you’d better believe it” The Scotsman
The legend that is Sol Bernstein escaped the Pogroms in Russia, the Nazis in Germany, and went on to become the World’s 1st all-round entertainer. He’s a song and dance man, a comedian, a magician, an actor, a Jazz musician (Sol was rated “BEST TRIANGLE” player in the USA in the 50’s by performers like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington ). Also rated the best impersonator EVER !!
He’s performed all over the world at venues including The London Palladium, New York’s Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia, Caesars Palace Las Vegas, and Scunthorpe Baths.
He’s the man who helped the career’s of Elvis Presley. Marcel Marceau (and never even got a “Thank you”) and even the Beatles were influenced. He’s worked with, and been friends with, some of the worlds GREATEST performers, Elvis, Judy Garland, The Rat Pack, Lenny Bruce, Jack Benny, George Burns, Milton Berle, Doris Day, Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, Eddie Large
Most young performers will mention Sol B as a major influence. A major influence to do what, we aren’t sure, but an influence never the less!

WINNER: HOT WATER COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR 2016Allan is a baptist minister based in the Bootle area of Liverpool.
A Mersey baptist minister found the perfect way to deal with church hecklers – he became a stand-up comedian.
Allan admits he has occasionally had to deal with the odd heckler interrupting his services.
But those hecklers should thing again as Allan is now leaving audiences in stitches as a stand-up comedian.
