Went to see him a few years back at Llandudno. I didn't realise that his shows were almost all-nighters. About halfway through the show, he says: "I love playing at Llandudno, it has the most beautiful sunrises... Give it half hour and you'll see for yourself".

Went the doctors and told him I have difficulty urinating. He said, "Does your penis burn?" I said. "I've no idea, I've never tried setting it on fire".

RIP Doddy.[/QUOTE
How did he ever get away with this -
"A penis, a penis, the greatest thing that I posses, I thank the lord that I've been blessed with more than my share of a penis."
 

Sad news but not unexpected.

I remember going to see him at the Philharmonic about 15 years ago. it was a decent family show but it did go on!

As it went on more and more people would stand up to leave.It was well past 10 when we had finally given up ourselves and he was still going strong!

A true Mersey legend!
 
Is this a Scouse thing or a 'my mum' thing?

When I was a kid, if I hadn't brushed my hair my mum used to tell me I had hair like Dickie Mint

Lost count of the number of friends I have taken to Knotty Ash just to prove it is a real place.
 

Sorry to hear Ken is dead.

Funniest ever English comedian IMO.

Remember the slogan painted on walls in the 80s or 90s....promoting some band or other.

Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s Dead :pint2:





RIP Doddy.

Another one I liked......”they are recommending people practice safe sex these days....so I have attached a handrail to the bed” :)
 
There'll never be another. A legend.

...which means almost certainly that the Kopites will take control of this now and milk the situation.
 

The band I was in did a gig with Ken Dodd in the 1980s. Absolute lunatic live! Over-ran his time at the end of the night by more than an hour. Club management were going spare! But what a live performer.

Saw him again last year when I was up in Liverpool for the blue plaque ceremony at the site of Hessy's Music Shop in Stanley Street:
 
I took a text from Tim today
And saw it sadly said,
“It’s hard for me to say to you
But Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead”.

I tried to text him back again
And not delete the thread
But clumsily I lost his text
Of “Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead”.

I put Sky News on to confirm
And saw the strapline read,
“Breaking news from Knotty Ash –
Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead”.

And when I bought a Daily Star
It seemed from' A to Z
That all the paper had to say
Was Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead.

This tortuous tongue-twister
Was doing in my head
But there’s no way I could forget
“Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead”.

The flags half mast on Lime Street;
The city’s painted red,
And blue, of course, for Everton
Cos Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead.

Did Ken Dodds dad’s dog die today?
His kennel’s now a shed
He’ll never need his old dog lead
Cos Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead.

Yes, Doddy’s dad’s dog dud alright
His fleas to Jesus fled
The mangy hound has gone to ground
Cos Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead.
 
Had a good innings, can’t believe he was actually going to be touring this year again at 90!
