  • ... this is the video where ken dodd says I CHOOSE to do vaudeville - i CAN ACTUALLY DO high culture operatics but my genius chooses this path ... immensely cool and enlightened ...

  • Doddy all the wayy and iam 13 and i love himm

  • Do people realise why he is still going,selling 1000s of tickets around the Country.It is simples,the guy is funny to 1000s.Thank the Lord, im one of them.Entertainment without bullsh**.New aint it,gotta be the next in thing.SOME HOPE.Where would Mr.Cowell,how would Mr.Cowell,find another K D.If he told jokes out of tune,made no one,even smile,h"mm maybe,but to pay to go and see them,maybe not.Not commercial,do it without me.K.D. did..

  • i love this vid it is soo good!!

  • Bea Smith

  • wonder who the miserable bitch is on 2.28 if she dont like Ken Dodd why is she there...

  • This is just the best

  • Love love love this at 5 mins 15, laugh my backside off every time. Go Ken!

  • Where is the petition with 7000 signatures on it please? Can you provide a link? I have a Facebook petition just started. This fella is a true legend and deserves to be knighted by the Queen asap. O the hours of joy he has created.

  • Ken Dodd's dad's dog's dead !

  • What's the music from 1:18 to 1:26? I recognize it from somewhere...

  • i love his voice hes so Good id love to go and see him in action now  i love the songs he sings and he is so funny

  • @jadene4 I agree!

  • the funniest man on the planet 2 day legend ken ur a genius i watched this and i was in teers

  • Happy Birthday Ken 84 years young today !

    

  • brings back so many memories ....love it

  • @shawndimery If you don't find Doddy funny, don't watch him, and don't get into arguments with people like me, for whom comedy is life. Comedy is totally subjective, and you're allowed to have opinions, but your opinions aren't worth as much as if you've seen the comedian live. No hard feelings.

  • Anyone know what the audience sing after auntie mary had a canary?

  • @daedelusxxxhelios Up the leg of her draws

  • cant wait for the words arise sir ken,but after the tax man thing nevermind doddy you keep on going i cant stop using my chuckle muscle and thats because of you so if you ever read this a big thankyou sir ken

  • Comment removed

  • Seeing this comedy legend tonight at the sands centre in carlisle for my 8th show cant wait

    See you tonight doddy

    He is long over due a knighthood

  • The greatest.

  • if you don't like Ken Dodd you are:

    dead inside

    a liar

    a liar who is dead inside and a alterative comic gutted cause you'll never be as popular him

  • stick ya sir up ya beep lol

  • Brilliant, love this medley, and yes should be a Sir

  • I have watched more stand up than almost everybody, and this man has mastered the art like nobody else ever has, or probably ever will. Comically speaking, everything he touches turns to gold. This man can do no wrong, and is justly known by most people who actually know about comedy as the greatest stand up of all time. Tattyfilarious!

  • @Nicothephysicist And this is comedy gold? Its like a fucking shit day ouit at Butlins.

  • @shawndimery Oh really? Well maybe instead of watching youtube videos, you should actually GO TO SOME LIVE SHOWS and have this argument when you actually know what you're talking about. No offense is intended, but do your research properly!

  • @Nicothephysicist No research required, im listening to the shit he is saying. You teling me the live experience makes these 'jokes' better? Deluded my friend.

  • @shawndimery Why did you watch it then?

  • @James0022ify Somebody told me he was a 'comedy genius' so I thought I would check him out.

    Oh wait a minute, your not one of them morons who think that you cant have an opinion unless you like the subject in question are you? If so you can take your logical fallacies and stick them my friend.

  • @shawndimery HE IS A COMEDY GENIUS, SO STICK YOUR OPINIONS WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE YOU MORON!

  • @AllAboutROCKatYT I am a moron because I dont agree with your opinion? Oh and by the way typing in all caps adds no extra validity to your message, in all honesty, I think you are the moron, and a fuckin' retarded one at that. Have a nice day =)

  • A comic genius without any doubt, saw him live in Liverpool many years ago and my ribs are still aching. Never did his best on TV and wish he hadn't done all that diddy men stuff, way below his true class.

    Can't think of any comedian with a voice like Ken's, a Pavorotti rendition to die for and what a brilliant double take with his bit of paper out of his pocket. Makes the current crop of stand-ups seem mediocre and lazy.

  • A class of his own and the only artist to give two fingers to the tax man.

  • "Are you laughing at something I've said, or something he's done?"

    This man is a genius.

  • can someone cut this video so it only shows Ken singing Cuando Calienta El Sol at 4:43 on another video please.

  • Amazing. Thanks for posting. 

  • The girl at 2:26 really isn't getting it is she ?

    Well she is probably getting IT, but not the humour !

  • hilarious

  • what is it they say back to him when he says "auntie mary had a canary"?

  • @nerdydev "Up the leg of her drawers." :)

  • @andrewtalks1 cousin ;)

  • Seeing Doddy tomorrow night, can't wait!!! :D

  • WHY HASN'T HE BECOME A SIR!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to the Ken Dodd knighthood petition! Now over 7000 signatures!

  • @BumbleGrease2011 put the link up for the petition i'll sighn it!

  • @BumbleGrease2011 how can I sign this petition?

  • @BumbleGrease2011 Amen mate, he's funny without the need to be offensive like so many of todays so called comedians.

  • @BumbleGrease2011 Is this petition still going? As I've thought of doing one....but if there is one going I'd love to help out. And sign it as-well.... x

  • @BumbleGrease2011 This guy's much more fun than that Barrymore plonker.

  • I seen Ken for the first time live at the Glasgow Pavillion 2 weeks ago it is and will be one of the most memorable and happiest memories of my life. It was amazing to see a real comedy legend of such calibre and energy perform to such a high quality.

    ONE OF THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE..TOTAL HAPPINESS

  • We have this show on VHS..can't watch it now :(

  • Brilliant,as always.

  • i have to wait until december to see him :( seems ages away

  • he is the brightest and greatest spark to happiness that i have ever had the privilege to have seen and to be quite honest there should be no dislike button

  • I love Ken, makes me laugh everytime and what a voice.

  • 14 People are complete pricks ... Ken Dodd Is The King Of Comedy!! Everything that comes out of his mouth is comedy GolD!!

    'Thats The Wrong Way To Tickle MARY!!!"

  • the king of comedy class

  • 14 people missed the like button

  • Ken Dodd is the last (serious) clown you'll ever see. Treasure this clip. Even if your watching this in an "ironic" manner. Ken was a solid entertainer from the 1950's onwards, and always channeled a sense of the houmous about him. The man knows comedy.

  • He has supposedly sold 100 million records. Really?

  • Zzzzzzzz

  • I think Ken once said "the only (K)nighthood I'll ever get, is one that'll keep me ears

    warm while I'm in bed" !!!

  • Some people are like clouds the sooner they fuck off it's a better day.

  • @roumlig1944 Ahhh didums wants the big baddy to go away I laugh at your pittyness...

  • @roumlig1944 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

  • you must be wetting your pants with all this attention now fuck off and bother somebody else.

  • @roumlig1944 Once entangled in a troll's provative arguements you will never be left alone, ever... Also you can never kill a troll as they live off your fear...

  • He is the shittest comedian ever

  • @LordJackMan09 You are a prick, Doddy is a national treasure. You must be German.

  • @roumlig1944 National treasure for a retired pensioner maybe, I apoligise but I don't see no comical value in his performance's and aslo don't come to the conclusion that I am german as I am english so yeah!

  • @LordJackMan09 If you don't find him funny why are you watching?

  • @roumlig1944 To troll why else idiot?

  • @LordJackMan09 Sounds kind of sick to me.

  • @roumlig1944 Does it now? 

  • Arise Sir Ken Dodd

  • I'm going to see Ken Dodd for the 1st time at the Glasgow Pavilion on 4th June 2011 and I cannot wait, I feel priviliged to be able to see Ken Live!

    I think about it every day I've neer been so excited in all my life by jove :)

  • @mitziebitzie i saw him back in 2003 at blackppol, a couple of months after my grandad died, the best night of my life, show started at 7 finished at 2! id love to go see him again, he comes here to bradford every year but theyre always sold out!

  • One our true great´s what talent what genius..just brilliant

  • Ken Dodd is great......at reminding us how far British comedy has come.

  • @moodini99 ...apparently not!

  • Very true. Why isn't he "Sir Ken Dodd?"

  • @cupsandballsmagic

    Not just Sir Ken what about Sir Bruce? Both should have been knighted years ago.

  • No, they shouldn't have. Certainly not Bruce, he's an embarrassment to Britain.

  • One of the all-time greats,and this little snippet of him live show that he had great timing,he deserves a knighthood for his services to comedy!

  • Absolutely Brilliant :) A true national treasure! x

  • The godfather of British comedy.

  • One of the funniest men in the world and what a great voice. Was so surprised last weekend my 8 year old nephew was staying with us, when we watched an audience with ken dodd and my nephew actually put down his IPAD and sat laughing his head off at Ken!

    Proof that good comedy is timeless :)

  • He is amazingly funny Thank you to a dear Englishmen for introducing me to his work

  • can anyone upload this show, or any of his shows?

  • Pure class....

  • Such a true entertainer, a knighthood has been long due.

  • Stand-up, you cannot beat it when it's good, and goodness Ken was good at it. No stopping him, wind him up and off he goes

    And what nobody realises - well, perhaps they do - is what a very fine singing voice he has

  • I Have been to see ken , he was on stage for 8 hrs and he never used any bad language not once ,, new thats entertainment !!! keep on going Ken

  • I have this show on VHS, endless laughs when I was a kid :D

  • start the car!

  • The average age range of the audience in Bradford i would guess ranged from 15 to 95 ..

    Kens humour tickles your chuckle muscles .. regardless of your age ..

  • Saw ken in Bradford a few nights ago .. and he tickled my chuckle muscles :):):) ..

    God bless you Ken ..

  • Average age of that audience - 84.

  • Anyone going to see ken tonight ? ..

  • can anyone list the songs or tunes he sings in this?

  • They should have Knighted him and them sent him out front of Parliament to run the students off.

  • Ricky Gervais is a girly man

  • We love you Ken!

  • ... I don't get it...

  • just sit back and watch a true genius at work..............absolutely irreplacable

  • Can any one upload Absent friends, cant find it any where, any one know whrere I can get it?

    Saw Ken early this year, brilliant performer, must see him again next year.

  • @bushidobonce Hi There was a copy on ebay a couple of days ago , It might still be there if you are lucky.

  • I met ken again recently in Blackpool and he is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet. His show was sidesplitting and the voice is as good as it ever was. His Knighthood is long over due

  • I wish there was a love button :)

  • Love Ken Dodd. Hes a classic.

  • Best voiced comedian ever ! Magic !

  • I saw him in Bath a few years ago, his show over ran by 2 hours, my sides were hurting when I left....brilliant.

  • @bobvocal Are you joking - this is real tripe.

  • @bobvocal Do you mean Frankie Vaughan or Frankie Howerd?

  • What a talent UKs' last living GREAT

  • Comment removed

  • @Scotsbell Yeah, whereas you are a bit racist?!?! Nice one... Bottom rung, really...

  • @mcbrite Well we all know that Germans have no sense of humour :)

  • @Scotsbell We all know people from Great Britan eat dog-shit and call it food... You're right, that was merely funny because it's so true... ;-P

  • @mcbrite Mmmm dog shit a la kraut is sooooo delish served with lashings of custard :D

  • @Scotsbell Personally I like to call them the "incest isles", since you all look like fucking mutants with teeth that don't REALLY deserve the name...

  • @mcbrite and if you are simply an expat living in Germany, you have lost your sense of humour? ;) xx

  • @Scotsbell Naw, German that went to school in the UK, near Norwich... So I know what I'm talking about, too... :P

  • @mcbrite LOL, seem to have touched a wee raw nerve there eh? silly boy x

  • @mcbrite Because its "clean"? While other so called comics today rely on sex, drugs and bad language to make people laugh?! Ken Dodd is the last of the GREAT comics. A true, all round entertainer.

  • A true comic genius :D

    

  • @s7uar7 sorry cant tell by the name if your female or male but just want to say sorry my other comment was removed by a friend when i nipped to the loo ,he said i had spelt something wrong and thought i would just post again so all i can do is to say sorry and thanks for the post .

  • I saw the wolf man from gladiators in the audience.

    this must have been an audience with Ken Dodd

  • Last year ,2009. Sunderland Empire

    . I went to the Happiness Show.

    40 minutes in, I had a heartattack and my son forgot to ask is there a doctor in the house?

    I'm going to see him again, this time I am really gonna try and get through his whole act.

    Cheesy.

  • I'm only 13 yet I love him so XD

  • Always remember when he came out to the audience right after he was caught for tax evasion. His light hearted and absolutely funny outlook to the tax office was priceless. A true master of adversity turned round for laughs would endear him in our hearts forever.

  • gets me why a comic genius like doddy is never seen on the tv now

    very sad

  • @WOODBINEXX Because people got stupider and their tastes less sophisticated.

  • Always guarenteed to put a smile on ones face :D xxx

  • I remember watching this as a kid, it was hilarious then, and it still is now :D

  • ok ta if u go back 1 month the comment was fine unless i posted twice ??? anyway thanks for the reply + keep posting

  • Comment removed

  • spaghetti bolognaise for u!!! class

  • ithink doddy is wonderful. has alovely voice and agreat sense of humour.love him.

  • So funny, Ken Dodd is a classic example of clean humor being sidesplitting funny. What passes for humor today needs to be flushed.

  • @Carolalwaysfirst its not exactly clean, theres a LOT of innuendo...

  • @johnisfun But its up to the audience to think it. It plays on them.

  • i would like to know s7uar7 why my last comment was romoved please it was 4 weeks ago i wasnt rude so i cant understand can you its your show ????

  • @billstar01. I haven't removed any comments. Perhaps it was down-voted?

  • @s7uar7 

  • @s7uar7 cheers anyway xx take care

  • Comment removed

  • One of the few original entertainers. Very funny man with an excellent voice. Hope to get to see one of his shows - he really is funny and knows how to deliver great gags. Not many left like him... in fact NO-ONE like him at all! A lot of the younger comedians could learn a lot from him.

  • Fab-lous absolutewly love it

  • i love ken a very clean comic a great voice hope you have a happy life and a long one ken , simply one of the british greats thanks for making my chuckle muscle work overtime sir , thankyou very much

  • Comment removed

  • I'm just 14 and find Ken Dodd an absolutely hilarious comedian. It's hard for any of the new comedians to live up to his standards.

  • Ken is our last GREAT comic long live Ken Dodd

  • Pure British Class !!!!

  • I love the song he sings ''Love is like, an ever spinning wheel, round and round again'' thats how it goes does anyone have a video of him singing it or the track

  • love him my parents saw him live he started at 8 at night didnt finish till 12 at night and they said he didnt repeat anything it was completely original

  • please come back to oswaldtwistle,lans

  • goon

  • BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO. What a funny man. BRAVO  BRAVO BRAVO

  • absolute legend, a true comedian..no swearing no rudeness to be funny!

    Only thing is when you see him you have face ache for days! LEGEND x

  • British humour at its very best!!!

  • Its good to listen to comedians who dont have to F n Blind to get a laugh.

  • A total legend. The status of "national treasure" is thrown about far too much (Ricky Gervais..pah!) Doddy is one of the very few who truly qualify. He really is the king of music hall variety.

  • Genius, old school, made it with pure talent.

  • Is that Wolf from Gladiators (original) at 1:30?

  • @captainrice13 yea it is

  • absolute legend for all the family seen him live in wolves fantastic was the last place we got to go with our mum thanks ken you made her laugh and gave us a great memory to remeber her for

  • Ken Dodd standing there singing "silent Night"...while he bangs a Huge Bass drum....Classic...LOL!

  • we saw Doddy in Skegness back in 2006... he was FAN-diddy-TASTIC!

    On stage for hours, numb bum syndrome set in at hour 6 :)

    Hope to see him again this year where-ever he may be

  • this mans a genius...

  • he'd better see a good dentist, instead
