Sir Ken Dodd has Passed Away

[Markymark]

I like comedy but I do really like one liners and comedians who can really pull this off are rare. He had that talent.

Might be rare down south, but he was a northerner.

One of the few comedians that could make me laugh. RIP.

 

[roadrash]

a true comedian , as mentioned above , no swearing, no smut, a genuinely funny man who loved doing what he did best

Indeed. And I do like laughing a northerners. There’s plenty here and the stupidity they come out with makes me chuckle.

I've listened to a number of radios pieces today, they must be keeping the funny stuff for TV coverage

Maybe some people are born without a chuckle gene installed.

He produced a few gems but that was from an avalanche of material, not all of it was funny.

 

[Beebo]

he died in the same house he was born in. That is amazing in this day and age, especially as he could clearly afford to move to a different home even if he didn’t want to move away from the area.

 

[Randomnerd]

A great variety genius.
Sad to hear of his passing.
Sadder still to come on here and read The Usual Suspects bad-mouthing the dead. Bloody sickening that they just can't keep their fingers still and not comment where it's not required.

Not a fan of the one liner, never have been, Tim Vine I find annoying too. All that 'tickling stick' / 'diddy men' stuff was just contrite childish shite too. I think he had his moment in [pre] history.

But he seemed a good man and for that, he can have an RIP.

Are you certain about that offer. It is exceedingly kind of you

I don't have a problem with criticism of Ken Dodd or his humour, but to have a go at him on the day of his death because someone didn't find him funny seems rather bizarre.

I saw him on stage last year. He still did a 3 hour show. He chatted to the audience. The show was good old fashioned variety. He was still funny. He could still sing well.

Sad to hear of his passing. His comedy came from another age where people didn't find it necessary to use a string of obscenities.

Good bye Doddy.

We saw him approx 18 months ago. We loved it but he was starting to forget things eg he got partway though a joke then, seriously, asked "have I just told this one"?
That was sad to witness. We still enjoyed it and still had to leave when he was still "giving it to the audience" at 12:30. (Lot of 'still' in that comment).

I went to see him perform at Whitley bay about 30 years ago..So funny..I was in tears most of the night and next day my ribs were hurting from laughing so much..
