Berni Flint achieves what few can as a solo artist: a wondrous comedy performance underpinned by top-quality vocals. This makes for fantastic entertainment and a thrilling cabaret show. He brings an innovative, fun and classy act that has gained a mass following and won accolades. Flint was propelled to fame with his remarkable stint on the television programme, Opportunity Knocks, which he won a record 12 weeks in succession. Fans voted for him each week as the best act on the show and this helped him acquire a loyal fan-base - he remained one of the most successful Opportunity Knocks winners throughout the show’s history. His success led to a contract as a commercial recording solo artist.
The high point of his career at the time was reached when his single, ‘I Don’t Want to Put a Hold on You’ rose to number 3 in the UK charts in 1977. Over the years, countless audiences have had the pleasure of experiencing his wonderful cabaret performances and smooth soft vocals. He featured on television shows including ‘Seaside Special’, ‘Punchlines’ and ‘The Little & Large Show’. This led to him being named Top Male Vocal Entertainer in the National Club Awards. He also presented Pop Gospel in the 1970s and was a co-presenter on the ITV programme Mooncat & Co in 1985.
Berni even gained a coveted Top of the Pops spot. These days, he performs across the country as a solo artist and after-dinner speaker. His hilarious performances and on-point vocals make his show entirely unique and the perfect choice for a corporate, private or social event. His performances have been enhanced by collaborations with the likes of Jim Bowen, Shane Ritchie and the late Frankie Vaughan. The funnyman has performed at some of the biggest UK venues, taking to the stage at some of the biggest hotel venues such as Warner Leisure Hotels and worked at corporate events and on prestigious cruise ships through the world. The Manchester-based star is ideal for corporate entertainment and wedding entertainment. Berni is a professional and cooly composed man who still performs with the same infectious passion as he did in his 70s heyday.
