I'm 19, I don't think your sense of humour has anything to do with age, I find this man immensely funny, he's just pure talent and greatness with a wicked personality.
Y'know, it doesn't matter what type of comedy you like, I personally I like frankie boyle and Jimmy carr, but I like most comedy and sir ken was a giant amongst legends
One of the funniest men in the world and what a great voice. Was so surprised last weekend my 8 year old nephew was staying with us, when we watched an audience with ken dodd and my nephew actually put down his IPAD and sat laughing his head off at Ken! Proof that good comedy is timeless :)
he is the brightest and greatest spark to happiness that i have ever had the privilege to have seen and to be quite honest there should be no dislike button
If you're a bit down in these strange times, play this clip and start your day with a smile, I still do,often,and it does me good- thanks Sir Ken, you are still with us
Not many comedians can make other comedians laugh - here's the greatest comedian OF ALL TIME - making everyone laugh....a very rare talent never to be heard again.
When I see so called comedians on TV, and so called singers on TV, I thank the Lord for Ken Dodd, and U-tube that he can still be enjoyed today. Thanks for posting.
Mr Ken Dodd how this year of 2020 during the Coronavirus Pandemic could we of done with your wit and humour! Even this video lightens mood all these years on from when this was first recorded. Thank You for the tickling laughter 😀
I first saw Ken perform live in Blackpool when I was 10. I saw him a couple of years ago in Plymouth and he had tears rolling down my legs all over again! I wrote him a letter thanking him for such a good show and I got a personal reply. An absolute legend.
Ken Dodd is he last of the great music hall/variety performers from an era long gone. That's what accounts for the extraordinary range of his talents. Quite apart from his knockabout humor which was very English in style he was a considerable tenor and sang many a memorable ballad. I was a regular listener to his radio show in the early sixties. People like him are nothing less than an everlasting national treasure.
I used to listen to his BBC RADIO shows here in Ireland in early sixties with the regular catchphrases,like "wheres me shirt", "they can't touch you for it",etc. On one occasion,the show had an Irish flavour......This motorist pulls up to Ken and asked,"whats the quickest way to Kilkenny?".....Ken replied "just push him over a cliff!" Kilkenny is a small medieval city in South east Ireland,probably the smallest in Europe and has a fabulous castle open to the public. It was made a city by Royal charter hundredes of years ago
What a genius. Talented beyond belief. If ever you are down watch this. Works for me every time. Doddy and Freddie Starr both have the same effect on me. Two brilliant Scousers.
I seen Ken for the first time live at the Glasgow Pavillion 2 weeks ago it is and will be one of the most memorable and happiest memories of my life. It was amazing to see a real comedy legend of such calibre and energy perform to such a high quality. ONE OF THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE..TOTAL HAPPINESS
Stand-up, you cannot beat it when it's good, and goodness Ken was good at it. No stopping him, wind him up and off he goes And what nobody realises - well, perhaps they do - is what a very fine singing voice he has
Happiness was the song that I chose to play to say goodbye to my beautiful lovely gentle fun-loving Dad at the end of the church service - Ken Dodd has a most under-estimated singing voice of our best loved comedians, listen to "Tears" by Ken Dodd, a beautiful voice, as was Don Estelle, fantastic tones...all the best to the entrants on talent shows but they will never be remembered x
Absolutely brilliant! I saw Ken at the Liverpool Philharmonic a few years ago, within seconds of appearing on stage he had destroyed the audience into fits of laughter, and this continued for the next five hours. even at the age of 80 he is still performing 4 or 5 times a week, if you havent seen him already, you must GO!!
Please put more and more of Ken on U Tube he's just the great, brilliant,fantastic,talented and a the only one left who really makes me laugh and cry. So if HRH is watching please give him a knighthood for the British public he's the top.what a man keep going Ken we are all behind you.and thank you
I love this so much, have played it over and over. My husband and I went to Ken's show at Eastbourne recently, we had never seen him 'live' before. I can't hear Ken's Cuando calienta el sol too many times, I'm totally addicted to it. Desperately hoping there will be another opportunity to go to another of his shows. What a lovely lovely so talented man.
I'm going to see Ken Dodd for the 1st time at the Glasgow Pavilion on 4th June 2011 and I cannot wait, I feel priviliged to be able to see Ken Live! I think about it every day I've neer been so excited in all my life by jove :)
I'm always impressed with how good his vocal abilities are. He has terrific breath-control, great intonation ... can start a note bang on pitch at full voice, very well placed sound and a nice tone. A very underrated singer, in my view.
Ken Dodd is the funniest man in the world! Iv been to see him twice, he really is the best!He makes me laugh all the way through, which is about 6 hours :D Comedy is not a thing, but a person, and Ken Dodd is comedy it self! He is a genius!
I met ken again recently in Blackpool and he is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet. His show was sidesplitting and the voice is as good as it ever was. His Knighthood is long over due
Ken Dodd had a beautiful voice. Absolutely beautiful. It always seemed incidental to him, his comedy coming first. But to watch him in full flow of comedy, and then fot this beautiful voice to burst forth. Just heartbreakingly beautiful.
I saw Ken live in Liverpool a number of times many years ago. If you were in the 'last house' you had to make sure you had alternative traval plans as he finnished when he finnished which was normally at least an hour longer than was billed. I was usualy more concerned about breaking a rib from laughing so much than missing the last bus.
Bless this man and all who revere him, he truly has helped Britain be great and as long as he and his predecessors are remembered, Morcambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Tommy Cooper, then life will be that much happier, ohhh baby ths answers that age-old question...WHOS THE DODDY!!!:D
No comedian has given the British public more laughter than the great Liverpool comedian, Ken Dodd. He amply deserves a knighthood for simply making people happy. sign no 10 e petition
One of the few original entertainers. Very funny man with an excellent voice. Hope to get to see one of his shows - he really is funny and knows how to deliver great gags. Not many left like him... in fact NO-ONE like him at all! A lot of the younger comedians could learn a lot from him.
ken Dodd is one of the all time greats he is so funny,and a lovely voice when he sing Love me with all of your heart it always makes me cry but keep up the good work ken your one off a kind xxx
He is not only a great comic, he also has an amazing memory. His shows are about 6 hours long. 30 min interval and 2 other acts (When I went) taking about 1 and a half hours total. So to attempt to remember a 4 and a half hour act is insane!
OH MY WHAT A GREAT VOICE......and laughter too ! I've loved this man since I was a nipper and I'm pushing seventy now......but I keep pushin' it back heehee
People forget, but his song "Tears" was the best selling non Lennon and McCartney song of the entire 60s. That on its own should he worth his place in history - yet so renowned as his comedy it totally eclipses that.
ohh ken hes gettimn old now but not lost it please before its to late let the star there is not many now like him know how much hes loved god bless u ken
I have had Cuando calienta el so in my head as an ear-worm, and I have listened to many versions, I have concluded that Ken Dodd's rendition is by far the very best. Ken is a beautiful genius
Loved Ken Dodd since I was little. Seen him in Liverpool empire with my dad show went on for hours an cost me a fortune in car park charges haha but well worth it. I played this VHS that much that I broke my dads video!! He also came to our school assembly an told me off for talking - what a claim to fame that is!!
I adored Ken Dodd, his live performances were amazing and I was lucky enough to meet him backstage before one of his shows. He was such a lovely, lovely man, and his wife Anne is a sweetheart. He was just a man who really loved making people happy. Oh how I miss him, God rest his soul. Mind you, I'm willing to bet he's now in Heaven still making music and spreading eternal joy! Sir Ken, you will never, ever be forgotten 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
Ken Dodd is a Legend i went to see him at Nottingham 30th december 09 and he was funniest person alive we will be sorry when he dies he the only comedian that doesn't even swear
@@ronaldkelly5301 Agreed. Imagine the likes of Jimmy Carr and the rest of the latter day 'comedic' riff raff even attempting what Sir Kenneth Dodd did. No; I can't either.
I saw him so many years ago at the London Palladium - he was amazingly funny and entertaining - we were weeping with laughter - almost mesmerised… I still feel the happy almost painful sensation - 40+ years later May the Lord bless and keep all who attempt his style of entertainment - God’s gift to our sinful world.
I was lucky enough to see him perform in Bristol a few years before he passed away . I laughed and cried the whole evening . What a funny man and a class act, the likes of we shall never see again.
love him my parents saw him live he started at 8 at night didnt finish till 12 at night and they said he didnt repeat anything it was completely original
my mum made me watch one of his DVD's in about 2003 and I instantly looked online for anything else of his he's amazing, he tells jokes, he can sing better than most x factor winners and lets face it the queen's stupid to not give this man a knighthood!
This is a master class on how to hold the audience in the palm of your hand and he made it look so easy... No one can better Ken and I do mean no one living or passed away he truly was the king of comedy
Saw him live on several occasions but the one I loved most was at the Theatre Royal, Windsor when we were all piling out at 12.30 the following morning and I heard a husband complaining to his wife that he felt cheated because he ‘kept them in til 12.45 the previous year’ God Bless you Doddy! x
@BumbleGrease2011 Why indeed. This wonderful man has entertained us for over fifty years. Good clean comedy and a guarantee we leave the theatre happy. Maybe next year. We love you Ken.
I'm 19, I don't think your sense of humour has anything to do with age, I find this man immensely funny, he's just pure talent and greatness with a wicked personality.
Same but I’m 20
I’m 13
You are 28 now, seriously you would have liked the 60s when ABC Television was on the air
Y'know, it doesn't matter what type of comedy you like, I personally I like frankie boyle and Jimmy carr, but I like most comedy and sir ken was a giant amongst legends
The last of the greatest performers.

@@jefferymcavery8107 I actually do play this clip and it cheers you up for sure
A truly great comedian with original material that's superb as is his delivery.. Who can fail to appreciate him ? RIP Doddy....
Not many comedians can make other comedians laugh - here's the greatest comedian OF ALL TIME - making everyone laugh....a very rare talent never to be heard again.
"Are you laughing at something I've said, or something he's done?"
This man is a genius.
I can't take credit for another mans work! ;)

Love him and miss him no man can make me cry with laughter like he could, Rest In Peace Doddy 🙏❤️🌹

One of a kind and the likes of which we'll never see again. I was fortunate enough to meet him after a show and he was a perfect gentleman.
One of the all-time greats,and this little snippet of him live show that he had great timing,he deserves a knighthood for his services to comedy!
So glad he did ..sadly not long before he passed away :( ,,RIP Sir Ken xx

A legend in his own lifetime, bless him ....There will never be another missus !
absolute legend, a true comedian..no swearing no rudeness to be funny!
Only thing is when you see him you have face ache for days! LEGEND x
Had the Honour to watch Ken perform on Saturday at The Victoria Hall , Hanley ... celebrating 60 years in Showbiz ... and still One of THE BEST !!!!!
As a fellow Stoke I have to agree.
This show was the first time I ever watched Ken Dodd and I've loved it ever since. The most memorable moments are this medley and the ventriloquism
Ken Dodd was the great master of comedy. Rest in peace.
I one of the few comedians that can really sing
How can you not like him? His timing was amazing.
Cried my eyes out what a fantastic man such a voice

@@jonnyfrench19 Ken Dodd was warm and funny. Today's 'comedians' are just smug and full of themselves.
That's the essence of a skilled comedian. He was top of his league.
Saucy, but never dirty.
Loved him.
Never ceases to make me laugh, comics today 2day do not hold a candle to our Dody!!

It gets better very time I see him. To take an audience of pro’s to such heights is womderful! What a guy, wish I’d seen him live.
Who's the totally miserable blonde.
Always loved Ken Dodd and when serious, he is an excellent singer.Check out the audience, several oldies from Coronation Street.
Good clean fun.
love him my parents saw him live he started at 8 at night didnt finish till 12 at night and they said he didnt repeat anything it was completely original
Quite simply a genius at work! x
Can you remeber the days when an icon of entertainment could make a hilarious routine about foreign people and no one would cry about it?
live forever Doddy and keep our chuckle muscles active.
I was booked to see this guy live
Because he's a legend and then he died I wish I thought about seeing him years earlier 🤔🇬🇧
Amazing and to still be touring the UK some 50 years on shows he has a massive following, welldone ken would love to see a live show sometime
Ken Dodd was just a fantastic guy dam shame he passed
Brill, Thanks for posting it, also good to see the personalities in the audience some sadly not with us now.
my mum made me watch one of his DVD's in about 2003 and I instantly looked online for anything else of his he's amazing, he tells jokes, he can sing better than most x factor winners and lets face it the queen's stupid to not give this man a knighthood!
Always a pleasure to watch Ken, has a great voice too.
all our great comedians gone now.
Miss this comedian and amazing singer. Seen him live many times and never disappointed
This is a master class on how to hold the audience in the palm of your hand and he made it look so easy... No one can better Ken and I do mean no one living or passed away he truly was the king of comedy
It is so nice that you find Ken Dodd funny at a young age, it's a shame the comedians think that they have to use swear words to be funny
Saw him live on several occasions but the one I loved most was at the Theatre Royal, Windsor when we were all piling out at 12.30 the following morning and I heard a husband complaining to his wife that he felt cheated because he ‘kept them in til 12.45 the previous year’ God Bless you Doddy! x
