Last Sunday night I took my mother-in-law for a birthday treat to see Ken Dodd: The Happiness Show at The Grand Theatre in Blackpool. I thought we might also catch the Blackpool Illuminations but we arrived when it was too light and left when it was too late! Ken Dodd certainly gives his audiences value for money. Not only does he get his “seven laughs a minute” and more, his show lasts over five hours so if you do go, you might consider booking an overnight stay. The time passed so quickly in the company of such a master of entertainment – there was no lull in the laughter, no dips in the diddyness and I’ve been smiling all week since!
Here are two of my favourite jokes from his show:
“I telephoned the swineflu helpline last week but it was no good, all I got was crackling!”
“Doctor, doctor, I keep seeing images of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck!” Doctor: “Don’t worry, these Disney spells will soon pass!”
The show runs every Sunday until 25th October.
