Ken is 82 years old and extraordinarily energetic. Just over an hour ago, he finished a five-hour show. We've been chatting and drinking warm beer ever since and still he's not flagging. (Daily Mail)
SWMBO and I were lucky enough to go to his show here in Skegness a couple of years ago.
I'm glad to say that he did his Dicky Mint routine and even though I must have watched it a hundred times before the show (and almost as many times since) it is still by far the sketch that has me in tears of laughter!
I swear that if you don't laugh you must already be dead!
When he did "An Audience with Ken Dodd" back in 1994 we were building a cottage and No.1 Son was working with us.
Having only one TV at the time, No.1 Son moaned about having to sit and watch "some old codger telling jokes", but by the end of the evening he had been sick (I mean that quite literally!) with laughing so hard.
RIP Doddy: you will be sorely missed but well remembered for the laughter you gave us.
