A Crosby Pizza delivery man has come up with his very own bitter-sweet topping. With the help of Make it Write productions, Bernie Winston is serving up a black comedy in The Casa Theatre Bar.
Bernie’s play, “Stand Up”, offers us Mark, a comic whose on stage banter hides his personal misery. Off stage when the laughter has died away Mark, played by Trevor Fleming, struggles with gambling debts and the spectre of loan sharks.
“Stand Up” is the work of Bernie Winston, a Pizza delivery man, who has been writing for most of his life. Now this, his first play, is being performed at The Casa Bar, Hope Street, Liverpool on April 29 and 30.
Bernie says: “It’s thanks to meeting Sharon Colpman of Make it Write Productions. It really was a life-changing event. With Sharon’s advice and by attending the group’s courses and workshops I soon found myself up and running.”
Lisa Worth plays Mark’s ex-wife Marie, Dan Pendleton is Fraser her new lover and Jackie Gorst plays Toni a shadowy gangster.
It is being directed by Kevin Foott and produced by Ted Gray and Jamie Gaskin.

We’ve had some pondering to do about the fragility of life recently, but don’t worry, skinny national treasure Mark Watson has it covered.
At 41, he’s halfway through his days on earth, according to the life expectancy calculator app he paid £1.49 for. That life is in the best shape a living memory… but one problem remains, and it really is a huge one.
Spiritual enquiry meets high-octane observational comedy as the ‘Taskmaster’ survivor, multi-award-winner and “No More Jockeys” cult leader attempts to cram a couple of years of pathological overthinking into an evening of stand-up. Maybe we’ll even solve the huge problem. Doubt it, though.
Sam needs to step up.
With two children looking to him for guidance, it’s high-time he evolved into the role model he always thought he’d be. But he didn’t sleep well last night and being a hero is harder than it looks. Plus, he forgot to put the bins out and now his wife hates him.
In this side-splitting new stand-up show, Sam explores what it means to be a role model in modern Britain, how the people he looked up to shaped his world, and how the struggle to help his kids find their moral compass often causes him to misplace his own.
Can you be a role model on four hours sleep?
Can you mentor someone who thinks you’re a moron?
And how do you change the world if you can’t even clean your kitchen?

Following a complete sell-out 2021 tour, star of global smash hit Live Innit, Taskmaster, and the first British-Asian stand-up to sell-out London’s Wembley Arena, comes to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall!
After barely surviving the pandemic, and with two years of pent-up killer material, Paul tackles the UK’s handling of the pandemic, why the rules of six only worked for white people, fame, England football fans and Tom Cruise landing his helicopter in someone’s garden.
He’s back!It’s been a busy few years for Jason Manford since his last smash-hit stand up show but fans of his Absolute Radio show will know this nationally acclaimed comedian hasn’t changed a bit.
‘Like Me’ is Jason’s latest comic offering set to hit the road, and is sure to be ‘expert observational comedy’ (The Guardian) mixed with ‘comic gold’ (Mail on Sunday).
Jason said: “After the fun we had on my last tour ‘Muddle Class’, I’m excited to get back on the road with my new stand up show, ‘Like Me’. In these trying times it’s always important to be able to get away for a couple of hours and exercise the old chuckle muscle! So I’m coming to a venue near you in 2021/2022 so we can have a good laugh together. See you then.”
Zog, super keen student turned air-ambulance, still lands with a crash-bang-thump.
Together with his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, they tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with one too many horns and a lion with the flu. However, Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle back in a crown and a silly frilly dress!
With a bit of help from some friends and half a pound of cheese, can Pearl make her uncle better and prove princesses can be doctors too?
Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions (Zog, Stick Man, Tiddler & Other Terrific Tales, Tabby McTat) bring the creative team behind Zog, Emma Kilbey and Joe Stilgoe, back together for this truly modern take on the classic fairy tale.
Most suitable for ages 3+ but all ages welcome.
It’s me again, your old internet friend Dr Giggles.
It’s time for a little get together; so pull up a chair, get all cosy and let me tell you about the time I gave this horse a boner. I’ll bring my skates, you bring your wallet and we’ll all take some piccies. Maybe this show is the real vaccine?
