Review : Ken Dodd and His Kings of Comedy
Posted by Stephen
COMEDY legend Ken Dodd paid tribute to Liverpool humour in his own unique contribution to the Capital of Culture celebrations.
The Squire of Knotty Ash recalled some of the city’s comedy greats last night in the first of two sell-out shows at St George’s Hall.
And he told his tickling stick-wielding audience: “Liverpudlians possess a laughter gene.
“Our favourite pastime is play time.”
In a show lasting almost four hours the 80-year-old king of comedy mixed songs and rapid fire gags from his legendary live act with his own recollections and tributes to more than a century of Liverpool comedians.
