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
What a Star. The greatest. A MATTER OF COMEDY A GENIUS OF the Word. How I miss Sir Ken Dodd. Thank you enlighting my life and thousands of children mothers and fathers. Thank you .
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..
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 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
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
'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.
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
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 💜
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.
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.
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.
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

@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'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.
Also RIP Dora Bryan, Nicholas Parsons, Gary Rhodes, Ian McCaskill, Keith Barron, Denis Norden, Jeremy Beadle, Henry Cooper, Janet Brown, Joy & Babs Beverley and probably one or two more.
@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
How we all miss you sir Ken Dodd you were so loved by everyone your a legend and a genius and simply thee best why you did not get your knight hood 50 years ago no one knows god bless you sir Ken Dodd and Tatty by and RIP Sir Ken you deserve it you're making everyone happy again in heaven along with Tommy Cooper
I live in Boston,USA,and this just popped-up on my tablet-I haven't laughed this hard since "Lucy", and the Carol Burnett shows. What a loss to the world,and boy,how we could use good comedy now,esp.in the age of putin,trumpf,and the trashy comedies in the u.s.a.!!! Rest in peace, mr.Dodd...
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.
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.
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..
Saw Ken live three times and remember dad saying 'don't you think we ought to be going now it's 12 midnight and you've got to get up for work in a few hours!' Ken was a legend and the absolute King of Laughter. God bless him, he was unique.
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 ❤️
Watching this in June 2022! It's so hard to believe this was 20 years ago, even harder to accept that Doddy and so many of his audience are no longer with us! I can't recall a day since my youth that Ken or members of his audience didn't make me laugh! One in a million in a woke world like today we will never see another of his kind! RIP Ken it's been a laugh as always.
Broke the mould when they made ken👌🙏never be another even close to his talents, genius,like 1 of my other idols norman wisdom,god bless em,and half the audience their thts no longer here🙏♥️
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
Ken Dodd is a Legend and a genius who always made us all laugh and how we all miss you so much Ken RIP Doddy you can't take the memories of u away from us Ken Dodd your sadly missed and so loved by everyone you were amazing and a great man now your in heaven with Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson making Arther Asky and everyone laugh God bless you Ken Dodd
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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
done me good he makes m laugh
Missed so much.. Never be another Ken Dodd 😢❤️ xx
The greatest comic ever without doubt
You're laughing your socks off with tears in your eyes within seconds of watching. He was the best.
What a Star. The greatest. A MATTER OF COMEDY
A GENIUS OF the Word.
How I miss Sir Ken Dodd.
Thank you enlighting my life and thousands of children mothers and fathers.
Thank you

Happiness to you Ken. ❤️ you're still the best in the business!
Ken, for me, was/is the greatest British comedian ever! There will never be another like him. Simply the Best!!!

ONE OF THE GREATEST COMEDIANS EVER.
I’ve laughed I’ve cried Ken Dodd there will never be replacement to the king of comedy
Can't see anybody filling his boots.. Absolute genius of comedy.
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
Without doubt - The Master of Comedy , RIP Ken Dodd , what a loss 😢
No swearing no,dirty jokes just pure comedy rip doddy
You mean R.I.P.
There aren't any stand-up comedians like Ken Dodd anymore.
Thank god.

'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.
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
He was, a genius, now days no one can match him.
Went to see Ken dodd in Eastbourne about a year before he passed away, what a great show that was, puts today's comedians to shame. R. I. P. Sir. Ken.
and such a fantastic singing voice.. !

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.

We need Ken in these dark days. He is much missed.
Hello Carl
Hello Carl
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...
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.
Ken Dodd, the best comedian Britain has ever had, R.I.P ken.
No one can touch him
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.
The guy is an absolute genius.
Also RIP Dora Bryan, Nicholas Parsons, Gary Rhodes, Ian McCaskill, Keith Barron, Denis Norden, Jeremy Beadle, Henry Cooper, Janet Brown, Joy & Babs Beverley and probably one or two more.
Since your post:- Wendy Richard, Mollie Sugden, and John Inman also no longer with us. Coincidentally all three were in Are You Being Served.
Don't forget Les Dawson.
The great Sean Locke r.I.p
And Ken Dodd!!!
Shiiiiiiiiit. Is anyone of those niggas in the audience still alive???!!!
Saw him in Worthing and got the chance to shake his hand at the end, hung around for autographs, what an evening....
I live in Alberta, we sure missed out on this man!!
Doddy always makes you happy
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 :)
@@Jordanstonegames That's partially my point, but also, from any objective measure, he couldn't really be ranked as THE greatest.

@@alancoverdale713
Definitely sir
Happy new year
I live in Boston,USA,and this just popped-up on my tablet-I haven't laughed this hard since "Lucy", and the Carol Burnett shows. What a loss to the world,and boy,how we could use good comedy now,esp.in the age of putin,trumpf,and the trashy comedies in the u.s.a.!!! Rest in peace, mr.Dodd...
Ken Dodd was just such an entertainer , he will be solely missed.
A million to one genius R. I. P Ken I miss the laughter
Hello Tracey
Top comedian...excellent performances...laugh a minute...sadly missed..🌹
Watched for the first time in July 2020. One word uplifting.
A true Gentleman! One of worlds greatest comedians! Gone but not forgotten! R I P Doddy!
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.
You are missed so much Sir Ken. I hope that I meet you again in another life.
Clean as they come and hilarious with it !!!!
God Bless you dear Doddy!
A Master of his art giving a masterclass....
The greatest ever family entertainer. So glad I saw him live RIP funny man
Just watched again fantastic my sides are hurting thanks ken
Who’s watching this in November 2020?
Me, I'm new to his work. I'd only seen him as a cameo in 80s Doctor Who. Such a brilliant comedian
December 2020 for me.
Me Dec 28th 2020 you can watch him over and over and never stops being funny actually hilarious 😂👍
Still watching this in 2021. A genius
ME
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.
What a talented performer - so glad he came my way!!!!
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
Saw Ken live three times and remember dad saying 'don't you think we ought to be going now it's 12 midnight and you've got to get up for work in a few hours!' Ken was a legend and the absolute King of Laughter. God bless him, he was unique.
Doddy doing his ventriloquist act is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. R.I.P Ken Dodd your memory will live on forever. x
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.
Watching this in June 2022! It's so hard to believe this was 20 years ago, even harder to accept that Doddy and so many of his audience are no longer with us! I can't recall a day since my youth that Ken or members of his audience didn't make me laugh! One in a million in a woke world like today we will never see another of his kind! RIP Ken it's been a laugh as always.
I was 14 when I watched this. It has so many of my heroes in it.
Broke the mould when they made ken👌🙏never be another even close to his talents, genius,like 1 of my other idols norman wisdom,god bless em,and half the audience their thts no longer here🙏♥️
Some of them have gone to heaven now rip all that have gone
Absolutely bloody brilliant!
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.
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.
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!
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 truly super talented icon. Unique.
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.
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
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!!
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 one and only totally brilliant legend Ken Dodd. What a genius.
Absolutely Paul Webb Ken Dodd was a genius of comedy in my mind irreplaceable
There will never be another guy like him, RIP dear Ken

The greatest comedian this country has ever seen. Just incredible. We all miss you Doddy! RIP
Te good old days
I miss you Doddy amazing person such an hilarious comedian very down to earth what a kind funny
Gentleman ❤
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.
@@theondebray op
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!
You’re right it’s so good we’ve got recordings of him. Glad you enjoyed it. So sad you never saw him live on the stage he was pure magic
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.
Saw him once at Wythenshawe Forum in Manchester and he was on stage for over 3 hours it was incredible he never stopped.
He was a master entertainer with a brilliant caring heart. Thanking him for his service!
As funny as piles!
Very talented man and a great singer
Gone but never forgotton Rip sir ken you were one in a million and just a down to earth gent
@James Henderson Give it a fucking rest.
Glad I finally found a proper comedian.
Max walll
