HE is 89, he has been in showbusiness for more than 60 years and there is still no stopping Ken Dodd.

The Knotty Ash comedian, who was knighted for services to entertainment and charity at Buckingham Palace in March, has announced his annual Warrington show.

The Happiness Show, which includes jokes, songs and variety performances, returns to the Parr Hall on Saturday, January 27.

Anyone who comes along will be absolutely discumknockerated (Knotty Ash for over the moon) by a truly tattyfilarious (fun-filled) evening of laughter and songs.

Ken is particularly fond of Warrington as the first time he topped the bill was at the Royal Court in the town in 1957.

Rebecca Mundy, from Parr Hall, said: “Ken is a comedian of unrivalled legendary status, an icon and national treasure, who has been entertaining audiences for a lifetime of happiness and laughter.

“And that dedication was rewarded with a knighthood earlier this year in the Queen’s New Year Honours.

“With a supporting company, non-stop gags and a selection of songs presented in his uniquely versatile style, there’ll be everything from ballads to grand opera.”
