I never came across anyone who didn't like Ken Dodd's humour.
Ken Dodd fantastic entertainer never gets old his act the best,hope his dear widowed wife ok as he got married before he died so sad for his dear wife now without him
I loved Sir Ken Dodd he was one of my great favourites.i cried for 2 days when we lost him.
I met Ken Dodd many years ago at a Christmas service at Liverpool Cathedral. He was sneaking out with his tweed coat over his head, i said Hello Ken mate sneaking out are you yeh' he said certainly young man, And shook my hand as he was leaving. He was an amazing Comedian and lived in Knotty Ash all his life, when he could have lived anywhere. "A Real Scouser" RIP Ken Dodd 🙏🕊.
My sister and I went to the Theatre in Wimbledon to see his show. After 21/2 hours he left the stage and we thought that was it. He had several times made comments that you won’t be saying that when you are still here later. Thinking it was the end of the show my sister and I and several others got up to leave. That was when the theatre staff started giving out papers with the times of trains and buses later that night, so, we sat back down for the second half. It was after midnight when he finally said goodnight and we made our way to the car park, hoping our car was not locked inside. Fortunately it wasn’t. A great show. We hoped he would come back for another show. Sadly it wasn’t to be. 😢 ❤❤
I met Ken Dodd in Blackpool, the most beautiful person you can ever meet.
I love Ken's humour. It was a clever form of innocent wit that was never nasty. he was a family entertainer of the highest calibre. RIP Ken.
I had the pleasure of seeing Ken Dodd at his last ever concert in December 2017 he was an amazing performer and a lovely man. I lived 5 minutes from his knotty ash home up until last year. I was absolutely heartbroken when he passed, we will never see anyone like him again 💔
The best comedian that ever lived.very talented funny clever man.r.i.p Ken.
😅🤣😂 Whenever I think of Ken Dodd I always have a laugh I do remember Ken Dodd in the 1970 .1980 I didn't bump into the man once as a young child and once as an adult He was a very kind man and funny in real lifeHe was a very kind man and funny in real life He was also a very good man of knowledge he read a lot of books it was part of his life and his hobby He travelled the country going to various places to look for new books to buy or a library He absorbed everything But also I do remember his number one song Plus as a child seeing his show in Birmingham a Show you never forgot Unfortunately to die we do not see it comedians and actors on the same level He was just one in a million 🙏
Saw him live at the Winding Wheel (Chesterfield) in 2015. He was 87 at the time and was blown away by his mastery. Shook his hand at the end and thanked him.
A wonderful comedian, and a lovely man. My most favourite memory is his beating a large drum, while singing "Silent Night". RIP
I Recently Bought a Ken Dodd CD For My Dads Birthday, I Listened to it with My Dad Because That was the First Time, I'd Listened to Kenn Dodds songs, and my Favourite Ken Dodd song is Happiness.
A humble man in life and death. Exceptional.
A great showman , funny and unique , there will never be another KEN DODD R.I.P
my grandad loved Ken Dodd's singing voice
'Honour thy Mother and Father'. Lovely beautiful Heart. The Best ever. R.I.P. Ken.
Remember him dearly. As his namesake I used to be called a diddyman at school. And the amount of people asking where my "tickling stick" was :) Thankyou for a respectful tribute to a wonderful man.
I saw Ken Dodd at the local social club for my 18th birthday. He got me up on the stage and sang to me. Before returning to my seat he told me to call him "Uncle Doddy". To this day I always refer to him as Uncle Doddy. He was a very funny man with a huge heart and warm personality. He is missed so much. R.I.P Sir Ken.
Love this I walk past Kens house daily taking my dog for a walk and walk over the jam butty mines. Remember seeing him in the early 70's Christmas panto and later on doing his adult show he never finished on time always ran over time. My Uncle was friends with his brother who was a bin man. R.I.P Doddy
My comedy hero.
Saw him the year before he passed for the final time in Southport. Started at 7.30pm and finished at midnight.
He sold millions of records, knocking the Beatles off the top of the charts.
There will never be another Doddy.
Loved Ken. Saw him twice live. I have both DVD of An Audience with Ken Dodd and Another audience with Ken Dodd. I cry laughing whenever I watch them. I personally think he was the best in the business. RIP Ken. We fans miss you.
I saw Ken Dodd three times funniest man I've seen
My mum loved Kenny, she went up to his stage shows in London many times. A lovely man - RIP KD.
They never be other sir Ken dodd,he was the best and we love him.xxxxxx
Looking forward to this one.
I have to admit I wasn’t a big admirer of Ken, but I was given two tickets to see him in the early nineties . I was in mind wether to go or not but decided, yes I’ll go I might enjoy him. Enjoy him I did ! He was such a funny man and had me in stitches! He went on for ages with his show , over running for at least and hour. I went to the first showing and when I left, the second showing people were queuing waiting in the cold. But believe me, he was worth waiting for. So forgive me Ken for not liking you all those year before, and thank you for cheering me up that evening and making me laugh so much.🙂
Lots of laughter is an understatement he was absolutely brilliant all of the comedy greats are gone but memories live on🙏❤️
Had the pleasure of seeing him twice. Fantastic comedian and a lovely grave.
Ken Dodd was notorious for over-running during his shows - he once told an audience that the manager of the theatre told him they had to close at midnight - he then said ' Don't worry - we'll do the second half in the carpark '
One of the best and sadly missed,
He could have you in stitches for hours, reeling jokes off one after another. A one off, there will never be another again. Happy memories, rest in peace...🙂👍🏻👍🏻
I'm 57 but loved this man.i thought his singing was so lovely n he made you feel really happy with his jokes.rip you lovely humble soul.
Thanks Paul.x
I was lucky enough to see Ken Dod in the mid 70's in Scarborough and my dear dad with his weak bladder had to keep getting up during the performance and ever time Ken was on him in a blink of an eye and peppered my poor dad with his skilled one liners! I believe the show finally stopped at around 12:15 am and as a ten year old it was almost magical ✨️
I saw Ken Dodd on stage in Bradford at St George's Hall around 2013/14. He was great. He got the audience going, funny and it was a good night. An excellent singing voice
Makes you realise that we lived in a great generation of talented comedians. Greatly missed, nice to be reminded of them. Thanks again, keep up the great work.
Dusters Paul lol. I grew up watching Ken Dodd, i always found him funny, thank you for visiting and showing us his final resting place Paul, im still smiling, rip Sir Ken xx
I saw Sir Ken Dodd in 1988 , I tool my children to see him in pantomime Mother Goose hes was superb , he was in a generation when I was growing up, when we had some great pros it was a great time to be alive with people like Sir Ken , Tommy Cooper , Les Dawson , Bob Monkhouse and of course Norman Collier. This country was blessed with real talent back then , thanks for this great video Paul.
Lovely Jubbly video, great comedian from my childhood.
Saw Ken Dodd twice and both times we went in the theatre in the day and came out in the night ,he used to run over,my mum loved him ,my dad drew a picture when he died and it was attached to his gate on all videos and news programmes ,we are so proud of this fact .My sister met him just before he died in hospital and said he was lovely
The great Ken Dodd miss you doddy sleep with the angels 😇
When I was young Ken Dodd used to scare me. I’m not really sure why!
I grew up and one day I listened to him on the radio doing a show on Radio Four Extra. I couldn’t stop laughing. So since then I adored him
I was upset when he died, he came across as such a lovely down to earth man.
Thank you Paul, thank you for showing us where he’s now resting.
Another British treasure that has left us, and I’m feeling really old. I don’t think these new comedians like Russell Howard,are any good. They just keep pushing their political views. 💖💖💖
I loved Ken Dodd…he was hysterically funny+I loved his version of Happiness…I sing that to miserable people who are rude to me as I plod along in my wheelchair!!! He was an all rounder with his tickling stick, his Diddymen, Knotty Ash stories…he was a wonderful entertainer!!! I never met him ( only on the telly ) but I did love to watch him “ How tickled I ham!!! “ being one of his favourite catchphrases!!! RIP Ken!!! You were one of the best!!! X🙃❤️🙏🏻✝️
A true legend of British comedy , how tickled we were 😂
I remember watching Ken Dodd with my Grandad when I was about 8 we laughed so hard at the diddy men never forget Ken brilliant. R.I.P.
👍💜👍💜👍 what a man ...I grew up with his songs and great act💜👍💜👍
I recently visited Sir Matt Busby and L.S. Lowrys graves in Southern Cemetery, Manchester.
Lowrys grave had a pot full of paintbrushes which was a lovely sight to see
I’ve been to those also. Lowry’s is very understated, as I think he is buried with his parents, but the paintbrushes are a lovely touch. Quite a few famous graves in Southern, including Tony Wilson the TV presenter & music producer.
Brilliant voice,I have his box collection CDs,also one of the best comedians we had,no one could beat him,so witty,and funny,loved him,xxxx
My parents treated me to see Ken live at one of his performances in Aldershot for my 50th birthday; I'd been pre-warned that it would end late. No swearing, nothing rude, Ken was a true comic genius who just loved to make people laugh. RIP Ken, a true comic genius
Ken Dodd had the most beautiful voice love listening to him.
What a National Treasure, there will never be the like again.
Seen him twice. Second time was at a very big private party.. I was looking towards the stage waiting for him to come on and he was standing right behind me. I screamed with delight and got a good tickle with his tickling stick. Great show and lovely man. Thanks Paul. xxx
Very funny comedian and brought such Happiness to many peoples life's and many laughter R.I.P Ken sadly missed.
I saw Ken when he came to do a show at the Corporals Club at RAF Valley, Anglesey in 1987 when I served in the RAF. My group of colleagues, wives and friends were seated at 7pm, he was due on stage at 9pm. However there was no sign of him at that time, we thought it was a no show but his pianist/organist was there and said he was on his way. Unbeknown to us all, he was famous for stopping off at pubs on his way to venues for a quick pint. Anyway at 11pm he arrived and came on stage at about 11:20pm, needless to say everyone in our small club was canned up by that time. But he came on stage and did an unforgettable show. He didn’t finish until around 3:30am. After the show, he stayed around till about 4:30am signing autographs and chatting with people that had stayed. He was then whisked away by his chauffeur! A thoroughly nice man sadly missed! I remembered him well from my childhood in the 60’s and growing up, he was always “there”.
What a great story!
Thanks
Shoe boxes full of cash, nice one ken , thanks Paul.👏👍🏻
Thank you Paul respect as usual,tickling stick,lol xxxx
Brilliant entertainer and singer
I saw Ken Dodd about 15 years ago at the Malvern Theatre, I laughed so much my ribs ached all the next day. His humour was never blue or offensive I can't stand the modern comics who swear and make fun of people, its not funny and there is no need for it.
Like you said Paul...the last (sadly) of a true Music Hall Entertainer. I saw him twice at De Montfort Hall, Leics yrs ago. Very funny, witty with incredible stamina to perform for several hrs! Sadly missed but never forgotten
Royal Variety shows where great and Ken Dodd used to be on then his Diddy men would come on Absolutely Amazing
Brilliant...Thanks for the video..
Rip Sir Ken Dodd..
That grave stone a pure white very nice others are just black or grey marble stone lol but anyway very nice of you to share this to us never heard of him, he does comedy with his puppets. Thanks Paul have a super Sunday.👍😎📸
I remember going to see him at the Futurist theatre in Scarborough many years ago with my mum and my friend. We were hysterical with laughter. I also loved An Audience with Ken Dodd. That had me in tears with laughing. God, he was a very funny man. God rest him.
Thanks for another great video, Paul. 🐾😃
Hi Paul, thank you for this video, I loved Ken Dodd and he came to my city of Wolverhampton many times. The duster object was known as his "Tickling Stick". RIP Sir Ken and thank you for the laughter. Take care Paul.
One of the true greatest comedy legends ever and one very great singer and a very very very funny man as well
My late mum.loved him. He was genius very funny. We miss him
Paul it's a tiddly stick just to help you out there Ken Dodd brilliant comedian I never met him but what I've seen he loved everyone well apart from the taxman liverpool's best comedian and there was plenty of them I'm a mancunian and I dont mind saying that my other liverpool comedian who was born not from ken in wavertree was Leonard rossiter so they were great comedians my mums funeral in april this year one of the songs played was ken Dodds happiness she liked him singing I enjoyed a audience with ken Dodd they were good yeah another great we lost that god has collected RIPsir ken youl me truly missed but never forgotten god bless
I think they were called his" tickling stick " , I might be wrong. An incredible talent seems like from a world so very different from today. Seems like the creation of the internet has lessened the need for many types of talent and performers like this. Sad really but rest peacefully Sir Ken Dodd, you are very much remembered ❤
Hiya Ozzy, his Prop was called his Tickling Stick
@@paulguise698 thought I'd heard of one of those from somewhere 🤣
I grew up watching ken dodd i use to love the diddy men a brilliant man
he was a brilliant comedien and he's got good vioce too and sadly missed
Hi Paul loved ken Dodd and the diddymen , and his saying "how tickled i am " my favourite song was happyness. Rest in peace Ken Dodd 🙏😇🌹
Awesome mate, I'm based in Liverpool and see myself as adopted scouse and to see you visit these graves is awesome, your take on them your information and you keep a memory of these icons alive
Great comedium. Also did very well in the pop charts with hits through the 60s at least 20 or so pop hits. Loved ya Ken since you've been gone I we all cry tears of happiness xxxx
Thanks for this, sir! Ken also appeared in an episode of Doctor Who during the late 80s in an intriguing role but got killed off by the villain before he could get to episode two! Most definitely one of a kind, when they made him they broke the mould the very next instant! Wish I'd got to see him live! 🎭🎤🃏🎆
Grew up watching Ken Dodd on tv. He was always on it, mum and dad must have liked him. He was funny. Thanks for this Paul, always make me smile.
(I’m still flipping singing Happiness too!) 😂😂 Stay safe! 😊😊 Living in Australia at the moment, Aussie friends haven’t a clue who he is. They just think it’s a song I made up.
Ken Dodd was one of the greatest comedians the world will ever know. He was brilliant, he will never be replaced. His humour was fantastic. His singing voice was amazing as well. He is seriously missed.
Total master of his trade, very funny man and he could sing as well, good all rounder. thanks for this paul.
They certainly don’t make them like this anymore. A true multi talented entertainer. Fascinating listening about his early life and career. Great video as usual Paul. 👍🏻
Ken Dodd performed the top selling UK single of 1965 'Tears', outselling The Beatles 'Help' and 'Ticket To tide'. Now that's some accolade.
Ken Dodd for me was one of the funniest always made me laugh you could not help laughing at him a one off very natural in his delivery nice singer too last of the great funny men will be missed.
Ken Dodd is Still a Legend thank you Paul from Ben Murphy from Manchester
Very fond memories of queuing up for hours for Ken's show on Skegness Pier. First house were an hour and a half late coming out! Brilliant comic Thanks for this Paul
How tickled I am to watch this video, Paul! I grew up watching Ken Dodd on the telly; his tales of Knotty Ash, the Diddy Men and the Jam Butty Mines were hilarious! Not a lot of people nowadays know that he also had a lovely singing voice. RIP Ken 🕯
Not forgetting the great drum of knotty Ash
One of the VERY BEST..❤️
I’ve never heard Sir Ken described as being ‘a marmite comedian’ before. I saw him perform in New Brighton 20 years ago, amazing! He ‘locked’ is in until 12am! RIP Sir Ken, so glad you were one of the few stars who stayed true to your Liverpudlian roots.
Not many people you can truly say were a legend but he was he could do a full 2 hour show and really make you laugh he was not smutty or dirty he was funny anyone could watch him .. his tv specials were superb i have some on dvd and often watch Ken dodd made Liverpool proud i adore him. rip Ken.
Brilliant comic with an amazing voice.
Lovely man Ken Dodd very entertaining loved him and the daddy men at least he lived to a good age thankyou Paul 😊❤️
A true stand-up comic made you laugh your head off with no swearing or filthy jokes like some of the so-called comedians of today rely on to get a laugh. One of the best and such a shame also one of the last great entertainers to grace any stage or theatre. Ken Dodd made millions of people laugh; he was certainly One of a kind and the world is worse off without him. Thank you Sir Ken for all those years of laughter and happiness you gave so many people for so many years. I have lived through your era and it was a great era to live through; it has been my pleasure to see you on many occasions and experience firsthand your great talent. R.I.P.
Thanks paul Ken sure was an OBE I sulute you ken loved this vedio ken was a funny adorable genius that one is shining so well deserved 🤣🤣👍👍👏👏👏👍👍🤣🤣❤❤
Thank you for a Great interesting Video.
Like most performers he was much better live than on tv. The audience certainly got value for money. A lot of modern comedians have cited him as an influence. A true master of his craft who made it look so easy.
i wasnt a fan on TV and went to see him begrudgingly with my Mum and Dad whilst i was on holiday. He was brilliant
Love Ken dodd well done Paul another fav ❤
Rest in peace Ken Dodd you were a funny man!! 👼👼👼👼
Another great comic from my era! Sadly missed. Cheers Paul.👍🏼
Sir Ken was one of my favourite stars, I have seen him 7 times during my life and never once been disappointed with his performance, he was a good clean performer, he didn't rely on being smutty or crude to make people laugh. RIP Doddy.
Brilliant comedian I’ve seen him a few times live. My dad was his biggest fan.
No other comedian can come close to what he was like.
Thanks for another informative talk and look around,.. we saw Ken on stage only once and having many of his cassettes - thought we'd know all his routine,. but no,.. it was all brand new material,. clean - hilarious gags and stories,.. a true entertainer.
Thanks again Paul for another great video.
Ken Dodd is another memory from the past remember when my mum was alive used to watch in instead of his jokes and when I go to Liverpool Lime Street station always come off-line street is got a statue Ken Dodd and Betty Brant it’s called chance meeting is tickling stick and she’s like point in brilliant thank you for sharing that take care keep safe all the family drive carefully 😊👍
Awww didn't know he died well done Paul another fav .rip ken one of the best ❤
I went to see Ken Dodd and he went on until midnight 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely an absolute legend❤
Loved Ken Dodd with everything he did loved his songs Happiness and Love is like a Violin. Thank you for all the entertainment you gave us it was Brilliant. Bless You and R.I. P x❤😂
