I have been to see Ken many times over more years than I care to remember. He always finds time for his fans and is happy to stay behind and chat even though he is clearly tired after one of his marathon shows. I only wish that he would get more recognition for his achievements. Perhaps we should all do a spot of letter writing to make this possible. He is a lovely man, very kind and genuine. I saw him only yesterday at Peterborough when he stated that he intends to go on performing for as long as he is able, he really is one of the last true kings of comedy, long may he reign.

We arrived home at 4am after seeing Ken Dodd at Salisbury City Hall for the first time. His wit and banter had us chuckling all through the five hour show, true British humour at its best.

One word. Genius. Theres nothing more to say except - this man should be god.

I love him, he is a genius. The last and best of comic greats.

I think we have just witnessed the funniest man on earth doing what he does best. For five and a half hours he had us in stitches at his 50 years celebratory Christmas show at St Helens Theatre Royal. 'Sir' Ken would be a fitting title for this man who's kept this country laughing for many a year.

Really sharp one liners and stupidity has me in bits. He doesn't have the best gags but it is the way he tells them. He also does not have to swear or be crude to get a laugh. It is a treasure for us to have a comedian of Ken's calabre.

Ken Dodd is one of the nicest people you could ever want to meet, he has never forgotten his roots and always has time for everyone, just returned to Canada from seeing Ken in Blackpool,. His show is so good we visit the UK every year just to see him, and hopefully will be able to do so for many more years to come. he is a real gentleman.

I had the pleasure of working with Ken Dodd on theBritannia Pier at Gt.Yarmouth back in the Fifthies. I was only in the chorus line,but I was chosen to throw a rose at him.I think he is a wonderful comedian.
