Once again, Ken Dodd (with over 40 years in his trade) performs his unique set in front of a host of celebrities gathered to show their appreciation of his enduring talent.
My mother died in January 1991 after a very long illness, she was bedridden and in a great deal of pain. On her last Christmas Day she sat up in bed in the evening to watch Ken Dodds programme, I will never forget that night, she laughed until tears ran down her face and she was totally exhausted, for a couple of hours she was transported to a happier place, it was wonderful and gave us all a smile at a very difficult time. Thanks Ken, you were amazing.
@@GingerNorseman that is so kind if you, it’s been 22 years now and has left a pleasant memory for all of us, such innocent humour looking at life in all its forms
indeed i am Syrian i cant tell u how much pain we have here losing fine young men but still can enjoy this show and hes the greatest for sure amazing man
Around twelve years ago I was sat in the dentists waiting room in Mossley Hill Liverpool waiting for my appointment, when who should come down the stairs but Doddy himself!! (He didnt live too far away in Knotty Ash) WOW - I thought I was seeing things but it WAS the great man himself who had just been treated in the upstairs surgery. I was blown away but couldnt get a word in edge ways as he kept cracking gag after gag after gag. " Are you getting them took out or put in" he asked me! ha ha ha. A lovely lovely man and a privilege to have met him RIP Doddy
I was on a flight back from Tenerife with Doddy..the flight was delayed for 2 hours.. He kept us all entertained whilst we were waiting..and did some more on the aircraft too..
KEN DODD understood one vital thing about comedy. It has to be something that makes the audience feel secure. He never used bad language or insulted people and his humour was appealing to all ages. It tapped into the human, childlike side of us, that wants to be tickled... hence the tickling stick. He was just MARVELLOUS and I am so grateful for the gift of true laughter he has given us. He will never really be gone from us..... he lives in his ability to make us cry with laughter. God bless him.
What a lovely change from political videos. Ken Dodd - the best stand-up I ever saw. When I heard him he was 86 years old and he went from 8pm until after midnight. And what a superb singer.
I met Ken Dodd 5 times and every time I saw him he remembered me. I saw him the year before he passed away in Scarborough and he was amazing and kind hearted. RIP Sir Ken 💜
I loved Ken from being about ten-years-old. The finest comedian ever for me. How did he keep going until well after midnight? He must have enjoyed what he was doing. Epic Ken Dodd!
I'm from Ireland and I remember watching ken Dodd and getting the ken Dodd and the Diddly men annual for Christmas, This genius is the most talented comedian I have ever come across his one liners are priceless,R.I.P MR KEN Dodd u were definitely one of a kind,they don't make comedians like u anymore 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Sadly it's the first time I've seen this man, what an entertainer. I laughed so much. Recognised people in the audience that are no longer with us. He beats today's comedians hands down.
@Meep’s Music & Cover SongsI would have loved to see him live his energy is fantastic. Tax departments have got their claws into so many entertainers and actors over the years haven't they.? Cheers mate.
@James Henderson he's dead leave him alone everybody supports different things maybe not all those things are right but just going to have to agree to disagree on it, I didn't support or like Margaret thatcher but I still liked going to see or watch Ken
'Old School' just means it's funny and people laugh. Some of us had fifty years of Ken 👍 Long time ago, everybody even kids with their pocket money could see these greats on stage. Going to shows like these was a pleasure you don't forget.
One of my dad's biggest wish was to meet his fellow Scouser Ken Dodd. He had been a life long fan. Dad was in his eighties, Ken came to the Theatre Royal in my home town Nottingham. I managed to get two tickets on an early booking. Having done some work at the Theatre, I had a chat with guys at the stage, and told them dad would love meet Ken if at all possible. They were wonderful - and allowed us both to wait at the stage door to speak to Ken when he arrived. When Ken arrived, he was introduced to dad greeting him as a long lost friend....a fellow Scouser!! Pop was in his element!! The pair of them were cracking jokes, and laughing over anything and everything! Ken eventually had to be dragged away as he needed to get ready for the show. He was simply brilliant to my dad and made a dream come true. The show lasted nearly three hours - we were still laughing as laid at the end, as we were at the beginning! Thanks Ken! You were one of the very very best! Dad passed away 2013 at the age of 93. I am sure they will have met up again, and found a lot to laugh about! Thanks for everything dad.....and thank you again Ken .... R.I.P brothers in laughter!
The man was an absolute legend. I saw him live at St Helens when he was in his 80s. He came on a 7.30pm and was cracking jokes all evening about how long the show would go on for. He eventually finished at 1.30am and he'd have still gone on for longer if he could have. I met him just 3 months before he died and he was still cracking jokes as if he just couldn't help himself. A marvellous man whose like we shall never see again.
I saw him at the Theatre Royal in St Helens in the 1980’s. It was a long show then as well. He was brilliant and a very funny man and a fantastic singer as well

The first time I've seen and heard of this man. He is a genius of humor. His jokes are hilarious. He had me crying with tears of laughter.He sings and does ventriloquism as well. To bad he passed, I would of love to see more of him. It's good we have the internet to be still entertained. God bless this wonderful man.
Sorry indeed, some of us had the good fortune to grow up with his radio broadcasts, the highlight of our grey 1960s lives! And his live shows were legendary, went on & on & on & on, not a dry seat in the house! Professional? He ALWAYS started dead on time, but had to be thrown out gone midnight!! When he got done by the Inland Revenue, he told them he lived by the sea. And when the doctor found £1,900 up his backside, he said he wasn't feeling too grand. And NEVER a swear word. God up there must be begging for an intermission. RIP, the unique Ken Dodd.
a typical Ken Dodd show lasted Well into the 4 hour relm. One of his lines was "You come in during daylight and its my job to see you go home in it as well" I went to one show 7;30 start got out past Midnight!! Superb shows! Different every night!
2 words that explain Ken Dodd legend and genius. This man spent his whole life making people laugh. Wish he was, still around to make us all laugh in 2021.God bless Ken ❤️
No rudeness, no sexual innuendos, just pure clean fun and laughter..... that went on and on and on until the point where some theatre managers wanted to throw him out so they could close for the night. RIP Ken
Just before dementia took my mum we sat and watched this, I'd no idea of how much she loved this man until that night - I'd NEVER seen/heard her laugh as much as she did that night !. And to my surprise, I joined in !. Up until that night I'd always consudered him as a comedian of my parents time but not after this - he was quite simply brilliant and I'm eternally grateful for such a wonderful night he gave my mum and me !
My mum and dad took me to see Ken at the Coventry theatre in the 60's. I remember saying to my mum to tell him to stop as my sides were aching so much from laughing. A brilliant entertainer sorely missed.
I first listened to Ken on the radio in the 1960s. I watched him on TV and enjoyed every minute. This video was the first time I have seen his performances in over 30 years. I had to try hard not to laugh loudly as my wife had already gone to bed and I watched wearing earphones. I am delighted to have found this purely accidentally.
In 1963, when I was 5, Ken was doing a summer season in my home town of Gt Yarmouth. I was walking along Hall Quay with my mum when she spotted him coming out of a bank. She asked him if he had a signed photo and he said he didn’t. He asked if we knew anyone at the theatre and my mum said a near neighbour’s son worked as a stage hand. A couple of days later there was a knock at the door and the neighbours son handed a signed photo to my mum and said Mr Dodd asked me to give this to you.
On Sunday we were feeling down we have been in self isolation now for 14 days and wanted some light relief well this did the trick, I recommend Doddy and his like to everyone no matter what age you are turn off the news and let this genius do what he does best make you laugh and boy do we need it right now .Safe safe.
Such a treasure of a man, but looking at the audience from just 2002 really brings reality to life, Not just Ken himself, but so many of the members of this audience are with us no more. Such sadness with so much happiness.
So happy I got to see Sir Ken Dodd at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. We parked up and asked the car par attendant what time the car park closed. His reply was "when ken dodd decides to go home". 5 1/2 hours later at his show and he was still going strong! 😂 What a man.😊 I will always remember him fondly❤
A friend was on a holiday flight with him and he performed throughout the journey and bought a drink for the passengers. Someone will remember this story. Absolutely a legend.
The way he switches from sarcasm, to grandad jokes, to sexual innuendos to silly stuff that makes no sense - yet is still funny, without even taking a breath, he really is one of a kind.
I was lucky, living in Blackpool, one year I went to the first night and the last night at the Opera House. The first night it finished at about 00.15 and the last at 00.30. Doddy was the greatest ever. How he kept the audience in the palm of his hand for hours on end I'll never know. He really was The Greatest.
Absolutely brilliant Ken Dodd comic genius, I laughed throughout. Always cheers me up and I would recommend anyone to watch this programme. God bless Ken.
I've seen all the great entertainers come and go: Les Dawson, Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd, Benny Hill, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe & Wise and others, all great losses, and it is fitting that the GREATEST of them all - KEN DODD - was the last to leave us. End of an Era. Very sad. We will never see their like again. Apologies for those I forgot to mention.
It's a pity Ken dods gone what a genius gentleman .. a few in the audience no longer with us . Its a great shame we'll probably never see the likes of those brilliant performers ever again. RIP Ken
So many great comedians came out of the UK in the 50s and 60s. Eric Morecambe, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Benny Hill, Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson and above all, Ken Dodd.
God bless doddy he is still my favourite comic and he always made us all laugh with out swearing Ken Dodd still is a Legend and a genius and we will always miss Ken he's in heaven now entertaining everyone but boy how we wish you were here Doddy now cos we need you more than ever before you still make me laugh
There will never be another Ken Dod he was a master of comedy he was non stop with his quick wit and never needed foul language he truly was one of a kind and is missed beyond words .Thank you Sir Ken for giving us so many years of Laughter RIP you will always be a legend
He wasn't just Unbelievable Jester, he had a beautiful singing voice too. He was one of a kind. Rest in Peace Ken. Knotty Ash will always Miss You. And it won't be the Same without you Ken..
Absolutely brilliant, very few will ever compete with this sort of comedy, no sex references, no swearing, very unique comedy. May he RIP, will always will be sadly missed.
Don't make em like Sir Doddy anymore. What a star, entertainer, good clean fun with a beautiful singing voice. I loved him, went to his funeral in our lovely cathedral. Great send off for a great guy, love you Ken XXX
@musiclover KiwiOkka he was 89 when I saw him. Did 3 hours with a 20 minute break. I wish I had seen him more often but at least I was privileged to have seen him that one time. R.I.P Sir Ken
@James Henderson Oh, here we go.It's you trolling the classic great comedians again with your negative comments. Is there anyone you actually do like? I bet your friends think you're an absolute riot.
I never heard of this guy before, decided to watch it and this was great, the crowd loved him and it was good to b e able to be at the concert like I was there with them. Thanks for posting this. Thanks Ken for the great show mate though long after it was done. RIP.
The man was a genius the complete entertainer he could sing do silly dances and have audiences rolling in the aisles with laughter sorely missed RIP you were one of the greatest
Thank you for preserving this amazing man’s work. He is sorely missed from this world but it’s great to be able to watch his performances so easily on here.
His comedic insights, timing, singing and dancing were not only genius but magical. His ability to entertain us in so many different ways made him a performer the likes of which we'll never see again. Pure brilliance. RIP Ken.
Saw him at Southport theatre so many times and yes it was well after 1 o’clock when we came out absolutely sore with laughing. Pure genius. Miss him so much
I was very lucky to see Ken twice. In one performance he told jokes non-stop for 1 hour 40 minutes. He’s a legend and there will never be another performer like him. RIP
Our dear Ken Dodd nobody will ever ever be like you kind funny an all in all the greatest comedian ever and also that amazing singing voice thank you from the bottom of our hearts miss you loads our Ken sleep with angels 😇😇
He was really funny, and a lovely singer. A human encyclopaedia of jokes. I saw him twice in the 90,s. Family friendly. Truly unique, much better than today's comics. RIP Ken Dodd. X
A comedian who could laugh at himself and get people to laugh at themselves too. A rare talent, especially nowadays. A great singer too. Thanks Ken. Rest In Peace.
the great ken dodd, at his best, sadly missed by all of us, today, but will never be forgotten thanks ken for all the laughs you gave me and millions of others,RIP,
Definitely the best comedian I ever saw live on stage. His shows, as many people say, were legendary. You never knew when you were going to be allowed out. He was also one of so few comedians who never swore, nor lowered the tone and yet, could carry on for hours. I think the latest time to exit for a show I ever attended was 12.15am. He started at 7.30pm. I just don’t know how he did it. I had tickets for one of his last booked shows (at the Bournemouth Pavilion where he appeared annually for more years than I can now remember and was very much a tradition), which regrettably he never got to do. I think it was clear weeks before that it was unlikely to ever happen, but how we hoped, even to think it would likely be the last time we ever saw him live. But I think we would have given him a tremendous send-off. Such a sad loss to the variety circuit.
Watched this again and have been in tears of laughter. I so miss Ken Dodd. Met him a few times and he didn’t disappoint. I’m hoping that life repeats itself and I can enjoy this all again!
Ken Dodd. ❤️ I'm very fortunate to have seen him live many times and on every occasion he was absolutely incredible, even into his senior years. I remember one occasion a coach load of people had to leave "early" (about midnight) and some of them were waving at him as they walked out. Ken Dodd said "Never mind bloody waving, get back to your seats." 🤣🤣🤣 RIP Doddy. No one will ever be able to replace you! Thank you for uploading this.
RIP Ken if I should Evan attempt to describe what I think of Ken I would be sat here all weekend and more, total Legend. Should of been awarded the VC for Comedy.
My mother died in January 1991 after a very long illness, she was bedridden and in a great deal of pain.

My mother and father and indeed all 8 of us in the family watched and laughed. Never a swear word. Truly one of the best British entertainers.
Certainly was ❤️
What a sweet memory. God bless you and your family.
I'm sorry that you had to endure that, mate. TV wise, she was in good hands. Much love to you and your family.

done me good he makes m laugh
Missed so much.. Never be another Ken Dodd 😢❤️ xx
The greatest comic ever without doubt

He was The World's Greatest Old School Comedian, Thank you for all the laughter and happiness you brought me over the years, Rest In Peace Doddy 🙏❤️🌹
Maybe in Britain, sure. But greatest of all time period?
Ah no, not quite. He's great and a legend but not THE best ever anywhere.
@@Fyrecide Seems like that's down to opinion bud :)

So sad to look back on this and see so many
all gone.. rip national treasure...
2 words that explain Ken Dodd legend and genius. This man spent his whole life making people laugh. Wish he was, still around to make us all laugh in 2021.God bless Ken ❤️
I second that.
I’ve laughed I’ve cried Ken Dodd there will never be replacement to the king of comedy
We could really do with a Ken Dodd today. He always brightened up the place.
No rudeness, no sexual innuendos, just pure clean fun and laughter..... that went on and on and on until the point where some theatre managers wanted to throw him out so they could close for the night. RIP Ken
Ain't that the truth
A true Gentleman! One of worlds greatest comedians! Gone but not forgotten! R I P Doddy!
Just watched again fantastic my sides are hurting thanks ken
Just before dementia took my mum we sat and watched this, I'd no idea of how much she loved this man until that night - I'd NEVER seen/heard her laugh as much as she did that night !. And to my surprise, I joined in !. Up until that night I'd always consudered him as a comedian of my parents time but not after this - he was quite simply brilliant and I'm eternally grateful for such a wonderful night he gave my mum and me !
Saw him in Worthing and got the chance to shake his hand at the end, hung around for autographs, what an evening....
My mum and dad took me to see Ken at the Coventry theatre in the 60's. I remember saying to my mum to tell him to stop as my sides were aching so much from laughing. A brilliant entertainer sorely missed.
I first listened to Ken on the radio in the 1960s. I watched him on TV and enjoyed every minute. This video was the first time I have seen his performances in over 30 years. I had to try hard not to laugh loudly as my wife had already gone to bed and I watched wearing earphones. I am delighted to have found this purely accidentally.
In 1963, when I was 5, Ken was doing a summer season in my home town of Gt Yarmouth. I was walking along Hall Quay with my mum when she spotted him coming out of a bank. She asked him if he had a signed photo and he said he didn’t. He asked if we knew anyone at the theatre and my mum said a near neighbour’s son worked as a stage hand. A couple of days later there was a knock at the door and the neighbours son handed a signed photo to my mum and said Mr Dodd asked me to give this to you.
How very kind of him. Lovely story. Thanks for sharing
On Sunday we were feeling down we have been in self isolation now for 14 days and wanted some light relief well this did the trick, I recommend Doddy and his like to everyone no matter what age you are turn off the news and let this genius do what he does best make you laugh and boy do we need it right now .Safe safe.
Thanks
Really sad times for us all! The best generation are sadly dieing off! Truely the best!
Such a treasure of a man, but looking at the audience from just 2002 really brings reality to life, Not just Ken himself, but so many of the members of this audience are with us no more. Such sadness with so much happiness.
Looks like they got out while it was still legal to laugh Master Bates.
So happy I got to see Sir Ken Dodd at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. We parked up and asked the car par attendant what time the car park closed. His reply was "when ken dodd decides to go home". 5 1/2 hours later at his show and he was still going strong! 😂 What a man.😊 I will always remember him fondly❤
The man was a genius. The best of the best. Sadly missed.
The best,Liverpool’s finest.
One of the true greats for sure. I'm glad I grew up in the era I did to appreciate the brilliance of this man.
There aren't any stand-up comedians like Ken Dodd anymore.
Thank god.

Only saw him once live, my wife and I never laughed so much. He was a True British Legend and a Gem! Such a gentleman!!
Watched for the first time in July 2020. One word uplifting.
Ken Dodd, the best comedian Britain has ever had, R.I.P ken.
He was, a genius, now days no one can match him.
A friend was on a holiday flight with him and he performed throughout the journey and bought a drink for the passengers. Someone will remember this story. Absolutely a legend.
Can't see anybody filling his boots.. Absolute genius of comedy.
Happiness to you Ken. ❤️ you're still the best in the business!
ONE OF THE GREATEST COMEDIANS EVER.
The way he switches from sarcasm, to grandad jokes, to sexual innuendos to silly stuff that makes no sense - yet is still funny, without even taking a breath, he really is one of a kind.
We need Ken in these dark days. He is much missed.
Hello Carl
Hello Carl
I was lucky, living in Blackpool, one year I went to the first night and the last night at the Opera House. The first night it finished at about 00.15 and the last at 00.30. Doddy was the greatest ever. How he kept the audience in the palm of his hand for hours on end I'll never know. He really was The Greatest.
Absolutely brilliant Ken Dodd comic genius, I laughed throughout. Always cheers me up and I would recommend anyone to watch this programme. God bless Ken.
I've seen all the great entertainers come and go: Les Dawson, Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd, Benny Hill, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe & Wise and others, all great losses, and it is fitting that the GREATEST of them all - KEN DODD - was the last to leave us. End of an Era. Very sad. We will never see their like again.
Apologies for those I forgot to mention.
Meep’s Music & Cover Songs - thank you.
Add Tommy Cooper and Morcambe and Wise to that list yes you are right all great entertainers sadly their kind we will not see again
Brian Morley - Done. How could I overlook the great Tommy Cooper.
We have lived through a terrific period of entertainment, music, comedy and Classic films too. TV is dead now! Almost back to black and white.
And the two Ronnies...
Saw him once at Wythenshawe Forum in Manchester and he was on stage for over 3 hours it was incredible he never stopped.
Ken Dodd had amazing stamina to be on stage for such a long time.
Thank you for posting this.
It is the third time that I have watched this.
A Master of his art giving a masterclass....
Ken Dodd was just such an entertainer , he will be solely missed.
It's a pity Ken dods gone what a genius gentleman .. a few in the audience no longer with us . Its a great shame we'll probably never see the likes of those brilliant performers ever again. RIP Ken
So many great comedians came out of the UK in the 50s and 60s. Eric Morecambe, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Benny Hill, Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson and above all, Ken Dodd.
No swearing no,dirty jokes just pure comedy rip doddy
You mean R.I.P.
He was a tremendous entertainer. A fabulous comedian, a great actor and a wonderful singer. The consummate performer. God bless you Doddy
100% agree.......
@James Henderson Why was Ken a racist?
He was fantastic,no swear words,a true original talent R.I.P Ken Dodd
God bless doddy he is still my favourite comic and he always made us all laugh with out swearing Ken Dodd still is a Legend and a genius and we will always miss Ken he's in heaven now entertaining everyone but boy how we wish you were here Doddy now cos we need you more than ever before you still make me laugh
He was and is a one of a kind.
The one and only Ken Dodd. Greatest comedian that lived and not one swear word passed his lips.
Spot on.
no doubt about that.
Proper British old school entertainer.
There will never be another Ken Dod he was a master of comedy he was non stop with his quick wit and never needed foul language he truly was one of a kind and is missed beyond words .Thank you Sir Ken for giving us so many years of Laughter RIP you will always be a legend
The greatest comedian this country has ever seen. Just incredible. We all miss you Doddy! RIP
Te good old days
He wasn't just Unbelievable Jester, he had a beautiful singing voice too. He was one of a kind. Rest in Peace Ken. Knotty Ash will always Miss You. And it won't be the Same without you Ken..
At least Ken Dodd is resting in peace and not suffering
Absolutely brilliant, very few will ever compete with this sort of comedy, no sex references, no swearing, very unique comedy. May he RIP, will always will be sadly missed.
Don't make em like Sir Doddy anymore. What a star, entertainer, good clean fun with a beautiful singing voice. I loved him, went to his funeral in our lovely cathedral. Great send off for a great guy, love you Ken XXX
That horn was wonderful!!! Wow that was great!!!
We will never see Ken's like again.
Sadly.
Certainly very true, the likes we will never ever see again!!
Saw Ken at Glasgow Pavilion the year before he died. I am so glad I finally got to see him. Just fantastic he was.
@musiclover KiwiOkka he was 89 when I saw him. Did 3 hours with a 20 minute break. I wish I had seen him more often but at least I was privileged to have seen him that one time. R.I.P Sir Ken
@James Henderson Oh, here we go.It's you trolling the classic great comedians again with your negative comments. Is there anyone you actually do like? I bet your friends think you're an absolute riot.
Clean as they come and hilarious with it !!!!
The guy is an absolute genius.
What a talented performer - so glad he came my way!!!!
What a sheer joy to watch and listen to this marvellous talented performer...he was truly fantastic and such wit and delivery
ken dodd was brilliant RIP KEN went to his show never got home till midnight
The greatest ever family entertainer. So glad I saw him live RIP funny man
Saw ken twice, tears rolled down my legs.
Love Ken Dodd there will never be another one like him so funny 🤣🤣🤣 probably up there with his tickling stick making everyone laugh RIP Doddy
You are missed so much Sir Ken. I hope that I meet you again in another life.
KD is a one-off. Talented, witty, very quick on the uptake. A sheer joy and I'm glad I was around to enjoy his gifts.
The greatest all round entertainer and comedian this country ever produced.
I never heard of this guy before, decided to watch it and this was great, the crowd loved him and it was good to b e able to be at the concert like I was there with them. Thanks for posting this. Thanks Ken for the great show mate though long after it was done. RIP.
The undisputed master of stand up comedy.
The man was a genius the complete entertainer he could sing do silly dances and have audiences rolling in the aisles with laughter sorely missed RIP you were one of the greatest
Thank you for preserving this amazing man’s work. He is sorely missed from this world but it’s great to be able to watch his performances so easily on here.
Legend
His comedic insights, timing, singing and dancing were not only genius but magical. His ability to entertain us in so many different ways made him a performer the likes of which we'll never see again. Pure brilliance. RIP Ken.
Saw him perform many times at the Billingham Forum and Darlington Civic. Absolute genius. Had us all in stitches.
Whitley Bay playhouse. We thought it was the end of the show at 11pm and it was only the interval....
Saw him at Southport theatre so many times and yes it was well after 1 o’clock when we came out absolutely sore with laughing. Pure genius. Miss him so much
Great comedian! this man was so down to earth, that was the best thing about him. A Wonderful talent lost.
Naturally funny. Never been replaced. Saw him at the Liverpool empire as a kid in 1977.
How did he do it , so effortlessly ,one in a billion, may he rest in peace with God
I was very lucky to see Ken twice. In one performance he told jokes non-stop for 1 hour 40 minutes. He’s a legend and there will never be another performer like him. RIP
Absolute legend, greatest comedian of all time. PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE.
Didn't swear or insult anyone, just made them cry with laughter.
RIP Ken.
Our dear Ken Dodd nobody will ever ever be like you kind funny an all in all the greatest comedian ever and also that amazing singing voice thank you from the bottom of our hearts miss you loads our Ken sleep with angels 😇😇
What a great chap absolute Genius in his work R.I.P Ken
He was really funny, and a lovely singer. A human encyclopaedia of jokes. I saw him twice in the 90,s. Family friendly. Truly unique, much better than today's comics.
RIP Ken Dodd. X
KEN DODD JUST A GREAT GREAT MAN, PERSONN AND LONG ENTERTAINER ALAN MARSHALL STOKE ON TRENT
Sadly they have all gone
A comedian who could laugh at himself and get people to laugh at themselves too. A rare talent, especially nowadays.
A great singer too.
Thanks Ken.
Rest In Peace.
He was a master entertainer with a brilliant caring heart. Thanking him for his service!
As funny as piles!
the great ken dodd, at his best, sadly missed by all of us, today, but will never be forgotten thanks ken for all the laughs you gave me and millions of others,RIP,
Definitely the best comedian I ever saw live on stage. His shows, as many people say, were legendary. You never knew when you were going to be allowed out. He was also one of so few comedians who never swore, nor lowered the tone and yet, could carry on for hours. I think the latest time to exit for a show I ever attended was 12.15am. He started at 7.30pm. I just don’t know how he did it.
I had tickets for one of his last booked shows (at the Bournemouth Pavilion where he appeared annually for more years than I can now remember and was very much a tradition), which regrettably he never got to do. I think it was clear weeks before that it was unlikely to ever happen, but how we hoped, even to think it would likely be the last time we ever saw him live. But I think we would have given him a tremendous send-off.
Such a sad loss to the variety circuit.
Top comedian...excellent performances...laugh a minute...sadly missed..🌹
Watched this again and have been in tears of laughter. I so miss Ken Dodd. Met him a few times and he didn’t disappoint. I’m hoping that life repeats itself and I can enjoy this all again!
One of the Greats ! Thank you Ken for brightening up my life ........
A million to one genius R. I. P Ken I miss the laughter
Hello Tracey
😢🎉. No kids say the funniest things
Ken Dodd. ❤️ I'm very fortunate to have seen him live many times and on every occasion he was absolutely incredible, even into his senior years. I remember one occasion a coach load of people had to leave "early" (about midnight) and some of them were waving at him as they walked out. Ken Dodd said "Never mind bloody waving, get back to your seats." 🤣🤣🤣
RIP Doddy. No one will ever be able to replace you!
Thank you for uploading this.
Some of them have gone to heaven now rip all that have gone
RIP Ken if I should Evan attempt to describe what I think of Ken I would be sat here all weekend and more, total Legend. Should of been awarded the VC for Comedy.
I miss you Doddy amazing person such an hilarious comedian very down to earth what a kind funny
Gentleman ❤
