Ken Dodd (1979) Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs

Legendary Liverpool comedian Ken Dodd from 1979. Doddy cracks gags about 'the north' and sings about Lowry (Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs).

Whether he was joking or singing, Ken gave 100% to every performance he ever gave.

Now Ken has taken his tickling stick through the golden gates. A great man of happiness, joy and pure talent. Our very absent friend Ken Dodd - Rest in Peace.

[deniscrooks]

What a sad loss when we lost this wonderful talent . There will never be a another like Ken

[EastMids]

Met a doorman outside a Ken Dodd performance in Derby, asked him what time he was expecting to finish and his response was "God knows, we're already an hour past closing!" He wasn't even angry, he'd done a Dodd show before and knew he didn't finish until the audience had got their monies worth. A true gent

Back here in 2025. Love this version. Ken is really missed. His fun and laughter is needed these days.

[maximilianmatthews]

Without doubt this is the best version of this song. The producer, whoever he or she was, deserved a medal

[richardhintonracing]

A good singer and an entertainer with unprecedented ability a quite remarkable man. No one remotely like him today.

[catman]

Gosh he seriously brought Lowry to life in this!

True gentleman & legend ... Goodnight Doddy ❤️

[eddie]

Doddy was one of our truly great comedians and could sing a bit too. He certainly gave people a lot of happiness.😊

[rayhsetwo]

His funeral was today, and I couldn't help but reflect what a rare entertainer he was compared to todays trash, , , no swearing, no abuse, no hate or pure innocent entertainment, and he was an Expert at it.

[RebirthRadio]

Literally in tears of laughter at this. What a special one-off talent! Plus a great voice and fantastic version of one of my favourite songs. RIP Ken.
