It's that time of the month again, don't miss what will be our BIGGEST and Best Hoofers Comedy Club night yet here at Mansfield Town FC on Friday 3rd May 2019.
This is one night not to be missed.
Headline Act doesn't get better than the amazing Sol Bernstein
When a legend reaches a certain point in their career, it’s time to ease up on doing legendary things and reflect on an exemplary life. Sol Bernstein has reached that point, and he invites us to listen to his tales of the high life with the biggest names in showbiz, musings on how the world has changed, and being just an ordinary Jew with world-beating wit, unbounded talent and death-defying chutzpah.
But despite such a life, Sol has suffered an unforgivable injustice. Heard of Elvis Presley? No? How about The Beatles? Really? Ok then, surely Marcel Marceau? Good. Well Sol Bernstein launched the careers of these greats and many more, and what did he get for it? Nada. Nothing, not even a 'thank you'. But having escaped the Pogroms in Russia and the Nazis in Germany as a child, Bernstein is no stranger to pain, and hardships – in all their forms – have made the man what he is. Such struggles – be they life-threatening or merely female nagging – give Sol Bernstein not only the inspiration to face each new day but the material for his limitless supply of comedy shtick. The resulting performances – not to mention charisma alone – have given the man good reason to enjoy fame and build friendships with, among so many, the likes of Burt Bacharach, James Brown and Harry Hill.
He’s got so much to say and – being now in his 80s – so little time to say it. Catch this legend and genius while you still have the chance.
Singer, dancer, comedian, magician, actor and musician Sol Bernstein was born in Ukraine. Having been rated Best Triangle Player by Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington in the 1950s, he went on to perform across the globe at venues such as The London Palladium, New York’s Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Besides his work with Elvis, The Beatles and Judy Garland, he’s also been friends and worked with greats such as The Rat Pack, Lenny Bruce, Jack Benny, George Burns and Milton Berle. He also played for Miles Davis. Now in his 80s, he still performs at all the top UK clubs.
“Simply my favourite comic – the funniest hour you’ll spend this summer” HARRY HILL
“One part Alf Garnett, two parts Mel Brooks, and three parts like nothing you’ve ever heard” THE GUARDIAN
“like a good salt beef sandwich with laughs... YOU REALLY SHOULD SEE HIM SOON” THE SCOTSMAN
Opening the night is Richard Massarra
Actor and stand up comedian who has worked some of the country's top comedy clubs, including The Stand, Leicester Square Theatre, and The Comedy Store.
'A very funny guy, with a wicked line in smut... produced a lot of laughter and earned lots of applause' (BSH Magazine)
Since becoming a stand up in 2010 Richard has won Real Radio XS New Comedian 2012 and The Frog & Buckets Preston Comedian of the Year 2012 and is becoming a regular in the North West circuit with his brand of filthy self depreciation.
The MC for the night is the very funny and amazing international Cokey Falkow.
South African actor and stand-up comedian
As seen on Sick Of It with Karl Pilkington (Sky/HULU), City and the City (BBC) and Penny Dreadful (Sky/Showtime); Cokey Falkow also has a cult following on the comedy circuit.
Since starting in the late 90s, Cokey Falkow established himself as one of South Africa’s best stand-up acts.
Appearing at a wide variety of clubs and numerous international comedy festivals led to 3 national one-man tours, for which Cokey received critical acclaim at Grahamstown National Arts Festival.
'I write, direct, act and I am generally silly for a living. Sometimes I make cool stuff. I am a fan of the Goons. Needle Nardle Noo. Exit BlueBottle stage left to thunderous applause' (Cokey Falkow).
