Who was the first famous British stand-up to just stand there without any gimmicks or catchphrases? Was it Sir Bernard Manning or not?

No... it wasn't.
Bernard Manning's 'gimmick' was his racisim and bigoted opinions , which was responsible for his popularity with his audience. He was never kinghted
Arthur Askey would be a possible candidate, but I suspect there are earlier examples
