Book Launch - Crackerjack to Las Vegas by Bernie Clifton

14 Sep 2025 15:00 - 18:30

What took him so long? Growing up in wartime St.Helens (where a bomb missed his head by a few yards), Bernie began his career as a teenage singer with a local dance band. This was the first step on the long and winding road that took him to a Royal Variety Show where he reduced our late Queen to tears of laughter and then, after many years of touring, to a standing ovation in Las Vegas.

Bernie takes us along on his hilarious journey, explaining how he failed as a plumber but made it to Beijing as a trombonist. We read about his exploits piloting his ‘Flying Ostrich’ microlight (without a licence) and keeping fit with the odd London marathon… on the back of an ostrich!

“Bernie is so funny he should come with a health warning” (Su Pollard)

“Buckle-up readers; you’re in for a treat!” (Jimmy Cricket)

“He is, in one word, a ‘genius’” (Joe Pasquale)
