Welcome to the Chronicles of the Life & Times of The Bernician
Under his former professional name, The Bernician performed more than 300 gigs on the stand-up comedy circuit; wrote and staged two critically acclaimed London plays; taught stand-up to a giggle of fledgling comics who went on to professional careers; co-produced and co-directed a critically acclaimed 35mm short film; and played supporting roles in mainstream and independent film and television productions; in addition to co-producing and marketing a #1 hit Danish action comedy and directing his debut feature film, Nefarious, which is slated for its long-awaited release in Autumn 2024.
As M O'B, he went on to draft the first legal argument by a lay advocate to be established as a point of UK law; as well as creating and publishing free online content that has had more than 7 million downloads; whilst co-producing and directing his second feature film, The Great British Mortgage Swindle, which was released in 2018. He is also a recalcitrant philosopher; a revisionist historian; the founding sovereign of Universal Community Trust; the draftsman of the UCT Treaty and Magna Carta 2020.
Born within sight of the River Tyne in the spring of 1969, on a day when a fire-breathing comet struck Britain and turned the skies red, The Bernician spent his first nineteen years North of the Wall, before heading south in search of creative plunder, belly laughs and true love.
Following a ten-night, sold-out run of his one-man show, Dad Wouldn't Mend My Tractor, at the Euro-Theatre Festival in France, where one French critic described it as "the language of universal comedy", he established himself on the London comedy circuit in August 1991.
During his first three months on the comedy circuit, The Bernician was described by The Heckler magazine as "one to watch for the future", having gone on a run of storming gigs, sharing bills with award-winning comics Lee Evans, Bill Bailey, Jenny Eclair, Jerry Sadowitz, Phil Jupitus, John Thompson and Eddie Izzard, to name but a few.
In 1995, The Bernician wrote his first London play, The Truth Game, a snappy contemporary comedy about three couples lying to themselves and each other, which became an overnight fringe success and was described by the Blackheath Guide as "an unexpected treasure."
The Bernician then wrote and starred in Nightlights, a play about a narcissistic late-night radio talk show host, which also played to full houses in London, after Time Out described it as "a skillful light satire."
The Truth Game enjoyed several sell-out runs at theatres across London and The Bernician was commissioned to develop it into a screenplay by Kino-Eye Films, which led to his induction into the guerrilla film industry and the first of nine trips to the Cannes Festival in May 1996.
In the autumn of 1996, The Bernician performed his character-based, surreal and political stand-up in Ray Brady's Little England for Kino-Eye Films, which was broadcast on Channel 4 in 1997.
In 1998, The Bernician co-produced and co-directed the 35mm fifteen minute black comedy, Roadkill, starring the late Brian Hibbard [pictured above], which was described by Total Film as "hilarious" and "beautifully shot" and was broadcast on Sky Moviemax in 2000, following popular screenings at the Cardiff, Leeds and Raindance film festivals.
From 1996 to 2001, The Bernician's stand-up workshops in London and the south east nurtured numerous national new comic award-winners and professional comedians, including Markus Birdman, Mark Dolan, Stephen Carlin, Patrick Monahan, Eddie Brimson, Rosie Wilby and Josie Long.
In 2000, The Bernician was cast in a supporting role in the 1st episode of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, as an oddball workman, playing opposite Jessica Stevenson. The episode was directed by Game of Thrones director, Mark Mylod.
In August 2001, The Bernician was commissioned to write a historical television drama series called Geordie Boys, about three generations of Newcastle United fans and the players they idolised. The ten episode series is still in development and is partially based upon his own family.
In 2004, The Bernician co-produced the hit Danish action comedy, The Good Cop, starring Kim Bodnia and Game of Thrones star, Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, which his company, Unspeakably Wicked Pictures, launched in Cannes whilst the film was #1 at the domestic box office.
The Bernician shot his directorial debut feature, Nefarious, also starring Danish legend, Kim Bodnia, alongside newcomers, Conor Woodman, Spek, Shaoron Percy and Guy Porritt, and Dutch stars, Alwein Tulner, Tygo Gernandt, Willy van der Griendt, Kenan Raven, Johnny Melville and the late Antonie Kamerling, in the spring of 2005. The film has been remastered to HD for its long-awaited release in Autumn 2024.
From autumn 2009 until autumn 2018, The Bernician and co-producer, Michael O'Deira, spent nine years making a coruscating documentary feature film called The Great British Mortgage Swindle, which was released in the UK on the 10th of November 2018.
In the summer of 2010, The Bernician founded Universal Community Trust, which formally became a government-free, tax-exempt jurisdiction, in which the rights of the individual are protected from the potential tyranny of the collective under Natural Law, when the UCT Treaty was ratified by 25 newly formed autonomous micro-nations, on 21/06/2012.
The Great British Mortgage Swindle was written and narrated by The Bernician, who also appeared in the film during footage of a talk he gave on mortgage fraud in Stony Stratford in 2011 about his infamous legal dispute with Bank of Scotland. TGBMS has now garnered more than two hundred 5 star reviews on Amazon.co.uk.
In the summer of 2019, the TGBMS producers gathered together more than a thousand claimants and launched a class action lawsuit alleging decades of institutionalised mortgage fraud against every commercial UK bank, following the capitulation of Bank of Scotland in their fraudulent £2.5 M claim against The Bernician's family.
When COVID-1984 began the TGBMS Class Action was postponed and The Bernician set about identifying and exposing the multitude of frauds being perpetrated worldwide, before launching a Private Criminal Prosecution against the UK Government for pandemic fraud and mass murder under the cover of COVID. Whilst the case is still ongoing, The Bernician has been blacklisted as 'subversive' and heavily censored.
When it became clear that Britain had descended into COVID-1984 tyranny, without any possibility of obtaining justice under the Common Law, The Bernician drafted Magna Carta 2020, which was duly ratified by the founding sovereigns of Universal Community Trust on 23/08/2020.
On February 22 2022, part one of The Bernician's highly controversial two part documentary series about the Christchurch Mosque attacks on March 15 2019 was released on A-FP Video, when it was immediately blacklisted by every major social media platform. Part two was released in June 2022 and has been just as ruthlessly censored.
Fifteen years after his last gig, The Bernician founded a politically incorrect comedy circuit called Speakeasy and returned to stand-up comedy at Speakeasy Comedy Club Birmingham in the spring of 2022, where he compered for fellow cancelled comics, the hilarious Craig Campbell, Tania Edwards and Steve Hughes, at a truly barnstorming opening night.
Speakeasy Comedy Clubs have now been established in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Newcastle, Hereford, Caerphilly and Swansea, where other top drawer comedians Tom Stade, Jojo Sutherland, Lewis Schaffer and Alistair Williams have already featured on bills with The Bernician at nights of uncensored, unbridled, polemic stand-up comedy.
With Speakeasy Edinburgh going bi-monthly from February 2024, you can see The Bernician perform his new stand-up routine with the very best 'cancelled' comics on the circuit at Speakeasy Comedy Clubs nationwide. Tickets for Speakeasy gigs and MOB's popular webinars can be booked below.
In addition to Speakeasy running hugely popular webinars on his specialist subjects of banking fraud, liens and all things UCT, in 2024 MOB is also offering other equally compelling webinars on Sun Tzu's The Art of War and the hidden history of the final Judean rebellion against Rome and the true location of biblical events. Tickets can be booked below.

Lien On Banksters | A Potential Remedy For 11 Million Void Mortgagors
In the absence of any realistic possibility of obtaining justice against the banksters in an increasingly tyrannous system, which we have already seen time and time again is rigged to protect them from the consequences of their myriad of crimes, we have been forced to identify, develop and implement a Common Law remedy for the TGBMS Claimants, which this article will endeavour to summarise and explain.
It is a remedy which not only requires no legal enforcement, it is also outside the jurisdiction of the courts and has the potential to indemnify every void mortgagor in the country for the losses they have incurred [or might incur] because of a fraudulently registered mortgage.

From Brutus to Magna Carta 2020 | The British Common Law Timeline
1103 BC – According to the Historical Triads, Morgan and Waddell, Britain was founded by Brutus and the Trojans, as a free and sovereign nation, in which all men and women were considered equal to the king.
This ancient assertion was corroborated by Lord Chief Justice Coke, in Preface to Vol. iii. of Reports, when he affirmed that the Original Laws of this land were composed of such elements as Brutus first selected from the Ancient Greek and Trojan Institutions.

Conversations with Dr. Cowan & Friends | Ep 74: Michael O'Bernicia
Today’s podcast features someone who is not a usual interview guest. After having an in-depth conversation with him about his current work, I realized that our guest, Michael O’Bernicia, has an amazing story to tell about his encounters with certain “powerful” people in politics and finance.
What I appreciated was that rather than focus on the usual tale of fraud and corruption, Michael came up with an innovative plan that could be a way out of the mess we are in. I can assure you that you will be fascinated and inspired by this unusual and amazing story.

All The World or Nothing
An Introduction To The Bernician Chronicles
This is an introduction to The Bernician Chronicles, the eclectic journal of my life and times as a comedian, playwright and a filmmaker, a blacklisted ‘potential subversive’ and a notoriously unrelenting recalcitrant.
It is a story that spans fifty years, which is told partly in prose and partly in extracts from my diary, which I have kept since I was a twenty two year old London comic with serious writing ambitions and a predilection for politically incorrect subject matter.
The dual purpose of these chronicles is to document the extraordinary events which have dominated my life; and to set aside persistent suspicions, doubts and lies about the life I lived before I changed my last name from Knighton to O’Bernicia, more than a decade ago.
