"Wholly unique, funny comedy... Dean is a fantastic comic" - Adelaide Fringe 2015
"Sharp and unexpected lines...and irresistible chutzpah"- Chortle.co.uk
"Fascinatingly funny...I'm sure Dean will be winning other awards in the future"- Evening Standard
Sol Bernstein
Yes it's true! After 25 years of semi-retirement, playing nursing homes, Sol Bernstein is back where he belongs, in smokey nightclubs performing to drunks.
He's the man who helped the career's of Elvis Presley, Marcel Marceau (never even got a "thank you") and even the Beatles were influenced. He's worked with, and been friends with, some of the worlds GREATEST performers; Judy Garland, The Rat Pack, Lenny Bruce, Jack Benny, George Burns, Milton Berle, Doris Day, Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Eddie Large.
He's performed all over the world at venues including The London Palladium, New York's Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia, Caesars Palace Las Vegas, and Scunthorpe Baths, but it's at night clubs where Sol really comes to life. His charisma, his style, his catch phrase "why don't you put on a tie" his chutzpah, put it all together and you get the magic that is Sol Bernstein.
