Charity Gig done for guide dogs for the blind in 1991.
As always, i do not own the copyright on this VHS but i do not want this footage to be lost. Many video tapes never made it to DVD and were thrown out. with it snippets of our great comedy history. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Brilliant. Great fun from the days before laughing became illegal. The Comedians in the early 70s was one of the best comedy shows ever. Many went on to become major tv stars.
Agree. Simpler times, serious times, which made for good times of laughter. Now we have everything and lost humour. These days are the worst of days
my late father was on the comittie at neath workingmans club and they had bernard mannin and at 1:30 am he was still going
These greats may be dead now but by Christ they lived in the greatest era. No mobile phones or internet and still in a day where common sense prevailed.
And violent aggressive racism. Ahh the good old days.
@@gurdevsingh4356 as they say you don’t need to watch it. I am of Irish decent but Irish jokes don’t offend me so get a life.
Ok I may have taken your reply the wrong way but you could have elaborated just a little bit more…
I was a support act to many of these comics in my early years as a entertainer,they where a great group of down to earth people who were amazed at the success they had achieved, so good to see this.
Legends when Legends were brilliant. True comedy at its best. Gentlemen you did us proud. A HUGE thank you.
And th3n came laurel n hardy

Bernard Manning was absolutely the boss at he's game, just my opinion and I know we all have our own favourites but yes! They were all hilarious. What I'd give for those glory days of British comedy to be here again.
Totally agree and we all have other one we. like loads of people took him at face value being a racist and all that nonsense bet most of them didn't know about all the millions he made for charity he gentlemanly kept quiet!!
@@moadboyno1 ohh so by that measure you're a Jimmy Savile fan as well? :-)
@@bullmonkey Savile very public about his charitable works and not really a comedian but he was one of the more entertaining hosts of Top of the Pops
Went a few times to the embassey club in Manchester always a great night out supperb atmosphere
@@talcumpowder1000 do you know what he did?
Absolutely brilliant, I’m 70 and this brings back so many happy memories of better times
Best music, best comedy, no restrictions, just life to be lived. Now we are chained by this and that bag head opinions of what they deem to be right, titular gods that they are. I tell them to feck off and get a life
I'm 70 as well and used to love the comedians. The joke about going home late reminded me of the times I was late home, I stood in the dark at my door thinking of different excuses and just made it worse because it made me ever more late
People who truly appreciate good comedy can appreciate comedy of all vintages. Modern or classic. A laugh's a laugh.
From when we still had a country......
Amen. When we could be ourselves
I had this on VHS in the early-90s and nicked that penguin joke. I must have told it a thousand times, it never fails!
This is comedy I listened too as a kid in the 70's and 80's.
My mother had a fantastic sense of humour and she watched all the comedy on TV.
I remember her watching the Comedians.
I was young and didn't really understand the jokes but I enjoyed hearing my mum laugh.
I would always sit and watch Cannon And Ball, Morecombe And Wise and Last Of The Summer Wine.
As I hit my teenage years, I grew more towards Bernard Manning, Chubby Brown and Kevin Bloody Wilson.
Then alternative comedy scene came in which I also enjoyed, shows like The Young Ones, Bottom and Filthy Rich and Cat Flap.
So I thank my mum for bringing comedy in to my life.
A sense of humour is the best gift that nature gave to us.
And did you know what - I have even shared humour with a Dog, they really do understand humour. I have found that Staffordshire Bull Terriers have the best sense of humour.
Dogs are barking mad.
And that my friend....is why laughter is the best medicine...we don't need idiots to tell us we are "bad" for having a laugh at our own expense.
This is so refreshing. These guys were just being themselves, not tip-toeing over every word they uttered like today's mainstream comedians who are barely off the TV.
Those on TV today are about as funny as beriberi.
I so enjoyed this, I from 1965,
still funny . Love all these comedians. Don't look for offence.
Happy days.
Absolutely brilliant times when we knew how to laugh 😂

Bernard Manning showing why he's the king.
Brilliant. Brings back memories of when you could say anything.
Charlie Williams absolutely brilliant. Great to see all the gang on stage
Brilliant
Charlie Williams, I loved him, everyone did, so funny.
When comedy was actually funny, and people weren’t offended at the least thing. Times were so much more enjoyable then. 😀
Agreed....and if you look at the makeup of the audience....it is so wide ranging..... Now every one has a "niche"....or some other stupid excuse for not being funny.
Blast from the past "ABSOLOUTE QUALITY " ❤❤❤❤❤
Comedy at its best, when it wasn’t a crime to laugh at others 👏👏
Unless you were a mother-in-law
Do you like being laughed at ?
@@stephenroche5107 yes
As long as they were a different colour, country of origin sex or serial persuasion.
Lazy, stereotype based 'humour'.
Left in the past, thankfully.
@@graemestarkey7524 It's a snapshot in time for sure, but it wasn't as offensive to us all then, as it would be now. There's a politics that envelopes all of our entertainment now, which wasn't there then.
Great stuff. This was back in the day when people had a sense of humour. 😂
talk about 100 jokes some are humerous funny gay in blackpool one held him down the other did his hair....he is going on about the irish then it is the dutch What has 4 legs and stinks? me and him.
Rmh
Absolutely wonderful! I'm 59 and saw alot of these at the time. But there are some jokes I haven't heard - delighted.
RIP Bernard Manning, Charlie Williams & George Roper.
Loved this, and I'm 43! The negative nancys in the comments need to remember the phrase "Offence is never given, only taken" 😉 ie if you can't handle it... DoN't WaTCH iT!! 🙄
Negative Nancy's is correct - they are entitled to their opinion , but if don't like classic humour p-ss off and find some unfunny pc nonsense.
Piss off with negativity this was hilarious 😂
Yeah but how do ya expect them to be offended without watching it? 🤣🤣
Fantastic how comedy should be

Loved this show no comedy show on tv today can hold a candle to this gem of a show
Most have gone now but rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you for uploading this gem.
Loved George Roper, excellent posting.👍
When humour was just that and no one got offended👏👏👏👏Brilliant comics.
🎯
Sour faces, now, that need a kick up the arse. I tell them to feck off and get a life
I had this on compilation of comedy tapes, in the early 90's, the first listen had us dying laughing ,couldn't breathe, I must admit to telling the odd gag from this night...
Absolutely brilliant
George Roper ..absolute legend ..delivery and everything was perfect ..love watching him ❤
Absolute quality stuff! RIP to most of these legends. Hope you're all pyssing reunited in some other place, never let them stop ya laughing!
Absolutely. They are there making each other laugh up there, for hours. No end to each show either.
Priceless.absolutely brilliant 🤣😂.Good old days!
Not gonna lie, 4:09 - it saddens me that we can't all laugh at how ridiculously funny this joke's delivery was!!
That's what's missing today
Great classic humour. Thank you
Absolute quality. Used to see The Comedians when it was a regular feature. The Charlie Williams Enoch Powell joke, Tony Jo and Mick Miller were the ones that really made me LOL the loudest. Thanks for putting this on You Tube mate.
Brilliant, thank you for uploading. I loved all of it, but George Roper's 'I wasn't a bleeding duck was I ?' was bloody hilarious, really didn't see that punchline coming :)
I think this was an incredable interview on both parts.Loved to see Mark genuinely smiling and chuckling because Bernard is such a very funny human being!
Best deadpan face to roll off the punchline,cant have it better than that! RIP Berni!! Still love to watch your videos and clips!
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice to see the old gang again, thank you 🙏
They can't stop us laughing said the great sir Bernard manning
No , but they're having a very good try .
@@darrenwarby32 And sadly.... they are winning....
Fantastic comedy sadly will never be repeated most are not with us anymore except Stan Boardman still active in his eighties now it's all doom and gloom these men were funny.
Mick Miller too
Charlie Williams was amazing... A true Yorkshire man...
Scooby Scooby Doo, Haha ! Totally stupid but made me lol. Thank you so much for uploading this, I loved it.
All are fantastically hilarious but I've gotta give Tony Jo 22:05 a deserved shout-out here 🤣 'One held her down the other did her hair!' 🤣 🤣
Absolutely brilliant 😍🤣😂🤣👌
Pure class.... 😁😁😁🏴🇫🇷🐟🐟
Brilliant ! Thanks for posting .
I guarantee when you watch this, you'll smile and laugh till it goes off.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic comedy , they were the best , a jokes a joke as Bernard always said , dont take it serious !!! THE ABSOLUTE BEST .Thanks for all the years of laughs boys ...
A great slice of British culture when we had free speech. Ignore the saddoes who want to judge it through 21st century PC eyes (no idea about perspective, context, British humour, the switch on/off button, they only have a stunted tunnel vision political obsession but they will be laughed at a few decades from now for their foolishness). So glad it was posted!
Proper comedy, unlike the shite that we have today!!
Loved it! Thank you for sharing.
I grew up when this was going out live on the telly on a Saturday night all those years ago and the impact, which it had, was still the talking point at work on the following Monday onwards - that won’t and doesn’t happen today sadly - but these did have a personality that you could warm to, didn't sneer at the audience like a lot today, but these were wonderful comics and knew they trade, God bless ‘em and sadly missed today in this silly age of PC gone mad.
I'm woke and left and enjoyed these comedians immensely. :-)
@@BarcombeBoy I was always awake when I saw them years ago myself...
We don't talk about the telly we watch any more because everyone watches different things at different times.
@@BarcombeBoy We have replaced the batteries in our watches..

Thanks for posting!
I absutely loved all these comedians .......really was funny!
Belly laughs are always great!
Bernard Manning was genius!!
That's the best laugh I've had in ages.
Charlie Williams bingo gag is a peach.
Real Comedians, bring it back.
I can't get that piano tune out of my head!
Bernard, absolutely brilliant.
They slag these old comedienne off but they all just joked did loads for charity but they forget this. Now it's all money and self
Mick Miller is fantastic
Today's comics are like children compared to these grown ups, plus the jokes had punchlines which actually took a brain to construct.
Great humor and we all loved it
Fantastic, comedy gold
Proper jokes from honest comedians.
You will never beat The Good Ole Days
How to all 😅😅😅😅 the good old days I believe joking is a crime today the only out standing laughing it's the labour trying to get in power by using the working class to str
strike they can't with false promises
Had some great belly wobbles you can't beat the comedy greats.
Charlie Williams....quality standup
Roy Walker great at around half way..so funny!
Awesome thanks miss the 70 fun😂😂❤
I remember so many of them jokes from then, And I'm sitting here laughing my bloody head off still. Great "Old Comedians" and no one got offended..................Cant say that now tho.
Plenty of the targets were rightly offended.
Trouble us the stupid didn't care.
@@graemestarkey7524 Don't be so Pathetic!!!
Things would be different now...A man can't walk in to his doctor, for a start, lol
They can not do this today these guys were funny.
You can. That’s there problem if they like it or don’t. People like that i wouldn’t want to sit with anyway. Keep on smiling fella you have seen the good days. And they can’t take that away from you. 👍🏼🏴🏴🇬🇧🍺🍺😂
Thank you that was brilliant so so funny not like today much appreciated 😂😂😂
When we were allowed to have a laugh at ourselves...Just listen to the masters Charlie Williams and Roy Walker
Superb.. loved this...
Charlie and Bernard was the best never will be anyone like them again
Great humour lets never change it class 😂😂
The days when we had proper comedians that would actually make you laugh and the greatest of all time Bernard manning R.IP Bernard.Todays so called comedians are about as funny as piles.
Peter Kay is very funny .
@@SISU889 I will admit he is and he is well liked by most people but one of a very very few .
@@Johnsmith-fq2ze I get your point and I agree fully with you ,Comedians now are strangled round the throat with all these people who are offended for other people !
@@SISU889 yes this woke thing is totally rediculous and those successful comedians are too scared to oppose them in case they are the next target .Things will only get worse unless the woke mob are put in their place but i doubt it will happen .
@@Johnsmith-fq2ze It isn't the law that we have to follow this ' woke ' poisonous culture ! Stuff em ....
Props to Bob Monkhouse for the gags.
Absolutely ! Bob Monkhouse was a Master of the one liner , he wrote jokes for many comedians .
Mick Miller, very nice! Very nice!
Yes, well... some of this is magical nostalgia for an age where people weren't permanently offended. But some of this material should be gone forever but not forgotten.... never forget.
Why ?
Because some of it isn’t funny. Nothing to do with sensibilities. Sad they are all gone now though
Sad that this sort of things is now relegated to history. The joke Charlie Williams tells about the two dogs is hilarious
Tony Jo The best of the lot.. Funny how Manning couldnt make the stage in time
The subtitles are hilarious too. 🤗
Absolutely brilliant. 🤣🤣
Just finished watching this. What an awesome line up of talent ! Wondering why Frank Carson wasn't there ?
Very old school,clever humour. So many fond memories of sitting down as a family and we all laughed together.never to be done again due to all the woke idiots making a fuss about nothing.
Fantastic...No woke in sight. When being British was good enough.
I do miss the old days
Brilliant. As Bernard always says. They fuckers can’t stop us laughing. So laugh on peeps and enjoy. 😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant 👍👌
Remember the proptal. Love tour show lads great fun ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Shite till Manning at the ending...a touch of class.
It's like watching the U.K. version of the God father.
I Absolutely love it.
The godfather? What the fuck are you on about
