Ken is that rare thing, a comedian who is actually very funny.
It must be agonising for the likes of modern-day alleged comedians such as Russell Brand to know that even if they live as long as Ken, they'll never be anywhere near as funny. I hardly need add, Ken's also got miles more dignity and class. |

I agree. When Ken did his show (for cash) he went on about 8 and lasted until after midnight, with a short break. No script, just jokes ... and clean, no swearing. |

"Good evening, my name is Kenneth Arthur Dodd; singer, photographic playboy and failed accountant. In 1842, Sir Robert Peel introduced Income tax as a temporary measure at a rate of 2.9% in the pound. My problem was I still thought that was the rate".
Cue audience meltdown. That's a comedian. |

I realised how the British legal system is corrupt (court case in Liverpool!!) - that was in 1989 - and events since have only confirmed this to me with other luminaries getting away scot free ... but I don't know about the irony ... |
