There's a job as a comedian waiting for you. Bit naughty but that was a great reply
What are the hours?
If your trying to emulate the great Ken Dodd then about 7 every night on stage!
People think you're kidding when you say that about Doddy, but it's true he is a greater investment of time than Tristan Und Isolde and probably as worthwhile too. Last time I watched him from the front row of the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham and noticed he even has a clock in front of him so he doesn't get completely carried away. He's on the Royal Variety Show this week, by the way. Himself and Barry Humphries are the last of the great music hall clowns.
Yes, I’d heard he was on at the Variety show, I’ve seen a few pictures as I think it was recorded last week sometime.
I went to see the great man at the Blackpool Opera House at the end of October, first time I’d seen him for a while. While the jokes are as old as he is (79 last Birthday) the delivery and stamina is remarkable. He went off at 10.30…for the interval! He left the stage at 12.54am to rousing applause and cries of more from the audience. One of the greatest this country has ever produced. To coin a phrase from another fine Music Hall star…
“There’ll never be another”
If you've time there is a superb interview with him here..
