don’t laugh, but…
I saw Ken Dodd last night at City Varieties in Leeds.
In my defence, I should state that I was there under duress, but stop laughing at the back, the man is a comedy genius! He kept a full house (including me) laughing non stop until nearly 1AM. And he’s 79 years old for heavens sake. Apparently he has got a reputation for going on a bit, but I knew we were in for a long one when someone came on stage with a flask and sarnies “You haven’t brought your own? How naive!”
The supporting acts were rubbish (William Tell Overture on the banjo, anyone?), but I really enjoyed myself.
Maybe sometimes we need to put our preconceptions to one side and try something new, however uncool it may be.
