I was at one of his record-breaking 5-hour marathon shows about 10 years ago; absolutely hysterical, however exhausting, he's a genuine showbiz legend... anyone even remotely interested in stand-up comedy should see him while they still can, he still performs ridiculously regularly (see www.kendoddshows.com/)... And at 86? He is a comedy machine...

The venue was sold out, age ranged from 9 to 70. When the Dicky Mint came out the box there was a massive cheer, sure some people only came to see the puppet.

Saw him in Guildford in 2011. The theatre was a sell-out, mainly people 60+, but this doesn't matter. Everyone seemed to have a great time including myself. Some of the comedy was less than politically correct (how do you get a fat girl into bed? piece of cake!) However it was all delivered with no bad intentions and not a swear word in site. Long may he continue.

Saw him live about 5 years ago - great gig started a 7 got home at 11, the venue was only a 10 min walk.

Nice programme by Fern; Ken is a legend, another National Treasure.
