[1] At a young age, Gösta Bernhard was called "Västervik's Karl Gerhard", comparing him to the famous revue actor.

As early as 1933, he met Stig Bergendorff and the two began a collaboration, first with Bellevue-Fredhällsrevyn, which was run by two sports clubs, then under joint auspices with the so-called crazy revues in 1941–1963 at the now demolished Casinoteatern at Bryggargatan in Stockholm.

Iréne Söderblom, Kai Gullmar, John Elfström, Arne Källerud and Carl-Axel Elfving also occasionally appeared in the revue.

During the years 1973–1980, the Casino revues experienced a renaissance on Intiman, later called Wallman's Intiman, on Odengatan in Stockholm with several of the old actors, Gus Dahlström, Gunnar ”Knas" Lindkvist, Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt and Gösta Krantz, often flanked by Siv Ericks, Eva Bysing or Anna Sundqvist.

Bernhard was also active at Lisebergsteatern in Gothenburg, where he played comedies during the summer, such as The rocking chair, Privatkiv and The happy apple.
