Ken Dodd Happiness Show What a brilliant Night

Well I am just recovering from a night at Tameside Theatre, where I went with Andy to watch Ken Dodds show.

People had warned us that it may be long but I felt it was a load of rubbish, nobody gives that much entertainment for £17 a person.

Well I was totally wrong, I do accept that there was other entertainment, which was also enjoyable, but how Ken can keep an audience for so long was absolutely incredible.

The pace that he set & how he kept it topical, relevent to the audiance that he had, mainly us older generation ( sorry Andy not including you) skowed a marvelous performer a true master of his craft.

The other thing I had forgotten was his singing ability, & how timeless his songs are.

I just wish I had a good memory, ten minutes worth of his act could keep me going for years.

The downside was that when I got home at 1pm I then could not get to sleep quickly and am still suffering for having sat down in one place for so long, but it really was worth it & I can only suggest if any of you out there has the chance go & see Ken.

The only strange thing seemed to be that members of the audiance seemed to come & go which I have never seen before & to me seemed quite ignorant, the only thing I can think is that they were smokers going into withdrawl.
