    R.I.P Sir Ken Dodd...!
    Roy Hudd summed it up perfectly...."The greatest stand up comic this country has ever produced".
    And for me, there will NEVER be another.

    How could he remember so many jokes and deliver each one as fresh each time.
    I never saw him in person but never missed a TV performance. My late wife loved him as much as all his stage & screen pals on this show. A selfless and decent human being. Such a pity his well deserved knighthood came so late and with so little time to enjoy it.
    His lovely wife Lady Ann is equally hard working and totally DESERVES her retirement and her title that she worked so hard for and equally dedicated her time to their charities. God bless them both xx

    Sir Ken Dodd of Knotty Ash..my relations didnt believe there was a real place called Knotty Ash in Liverpool..but there is and it's where Ken lived. I met him a few times and photographed him for an opening of a store and spent an afternoon with him, he was funny, kind and very professional. The greatest comedian Britain ever had, he was actually a precursor for the eccentric comedy of Monty Python.

    My late wife wasn't thrilled when I said back in 2002 that I had two tickets to see my comedic hero at Bournemouth. Karen didn't want to go!
    After four hours plus of Karen screaming out in laughter and delight, the ladies of the row in front of her turned round and said "you enjoyed that, didn't you!"
    The privilege of seeing Ken perform live is just that, an absolute privilege and for giving Karen such a wonderful night I thank him.
    There are few celebrities that make you cry when you hear of their death. Ken . . . tears are souvenirs for you and Karen. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    Happiness!

      So sad you lost your wife. Doddy believed in God and life after death, he was a Christian who attended communion with Anne everySunday. I share their faith and know that in the joyful hereafter l will say thanks to Ken and you will hold your dear wife again. Love and kindest wishes.

    Ah, this actually brought a tear to my eye, bless him. Such a humble character and unquestionably the most entertaining individual in the industry. Lovely to see the late great Victoria Wood and then Eric Sykes who of course went on to appear in an episode of Dinnerladies, VW's terrific creation. And like Victoria, Sir Ken will be remembered long after their passing.

      @James Henderson evidence he was a racist?. If you feel that way then why are you watching a TH-cam video with him in it?. Got nothing better to do with your time?. Pretty pathetic really that you have time to comment on videos of people you don't like. There's load of people I don't like but I've got better things to do with my time. You must have quite the empty life! Lol!

    I loved that his shows were affordable for everyone.
    The last time I saw him live was October 2017 and he was amazing.
    The time before that the show started at 7.30pm and I left the theatre at 2.20am and he was already 85 by then.
    You certainly got value for money.

    This man embodies all that is great about Great Britain. Nowadays everything is amazing, fantastic and brilliant and TV personalities are national treasures.However there is no-one like Ken Dodd for sheer professionalism,longevity and wonderful spiritedness. As funny and kind a man at the stage door as on the stage. Go to one of his Happiness Shows for a 5 hour show and you will leave aching with laughter but on a wave of joy and love. His audiences adore him because they have grown up and old with him and because his show is an experience good for the soul.I have seen him a dozen times and know some of the jokes but we keep going back each year to Eastbourne because he is unique and we feel so uplifted afterwards.
    Thank you so much for putting this on.

    A wise old man told me one time, happiness is a frame of mind. When you go to measuring a man's success, don't count money, count happiness.
    On that basis, given all the joy he spread, Ken Dodd was the richest man who ever lived.

    • @maxkiberd
      @maxkiberd 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes to all comments. A sweet, gentle, kind, loving man who worked as hard as he could to use, develop and excel in the great gifts God gave him. At the pearly gates he will have had open arms ready to hug him. He believed deeply in Jesus Christ, took Communion every Sunday and loved everyone. I look forward to meeting you one day up there, dear Ken, l only truly discovered you after you died and thx to all the TH-cam clips you have helped me through a hard year.

  • @jjohnston1813
    @jjohnston1813 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What an amazing talent. Knotty Ash and Liverpool have been blessed beyond measure to have had Ken Dodd living in their midst for so very long. He gave his all, and his all was so sorely needed in times past and still today. Thankfully, he is still ever present with us, at the flick of a switch' via radio or television. Who could ask for more than this in this present day? May the legacy he left behind him endure forever.
    Rest in peace, Sir Kenneth Dodd.
    Jess.
