  • Summary

  • Bernard beguiles us with his experience as surrealist stand-up in the 1980s and 1990s. He covers a varied career, from his first stand-up gig to creating the exceptional Binky and Boo, his involvement in Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, and crossing paths with Alan Bennett and Doctor Who. He discusses: the value of relying on material over labels; changes in attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community from the 1980s onwards; his absurdist and unconscious influences.
