Steve Mingle: Bernard Manning Ate My Tortoise

14/08/2025 @ Aces and Eights Saloon Bar
Doors: 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Price: £8

This unique celebration of decades of popular culture combines poetry, comedy, storytelling, flash fiction and magic. It features an array of iconic figures from the wonderful to the wretched, including Bono, Morrissey, Phil “The Power” Taylor, Ed Sheeran, Jeremy Kyle, Bruce Forsyth, Phil Foden and the mighty Slade. As well as unveiling the unsavoury eating habits of 1980s celebrities, the show also tells the tragic tale of a man who accidentally dismembers himself and pays tribute to the wondrous luminosity of Jurgen Klopp’s teeth.

Steve Mingle is a contrary old geezer who’s become so fed up with people suggesting that he ought to do a show that he’s decided to shock them by doing exactly as he’s told for once. And probably only once, so don’t miss it!

Show starts at 8:00 p.m.
Duration: 60 mins
