Ken Dodd, legend of comedy, dies aged 90

喜剧演员肯·多德去世

Tributes have been paid to Ken Dodd, who has died aged 90 just two days after marrying his long-term partner.

The entertainer died on Sunday in the house in which he was born in the Liverpool suburb* of Knotty Ash, his publicist said. His wife, Anne Jones, was at his bedside.

On Monday morning, a pile of tributes of flowers and feather dusters — or “tickling sticks” — had begun to grow outside his house.

Jones said she first met the comedian when she was part of the Ken Dodd Christmas show in 1961 at Manchester Opera House.

“I have had the supreme* joy and privilege of working and living with him as partner for the past 40 years,” she said. “The world has lost a most life-enhancing, brilliant, creative comedian, with an operatically trained voice, who just wanted to make people happy.

“He lived to perfect his art and entertain his live and adoring audiences. I’ve been overwhelmed by love and affection, which I’ve already received from dear friends and the public and I thank you all for being here.”

Famous fans and friends also lined up to share their thoughts and anecdotes*.

David Walliams said that “comedy flowed through him like water.”

Actress and presenter Claire Sweeney, who was a supporting act for Dodd in theaters when she was a teenage singer, told the BBC, “He was such an inspiration. Ken started my career off when I was just 14.”

She added, “The most precious thing you can give someone is advice and time. And he spans generations.”
