Ken Dodd back with Wolverhampton Civic Hall show
Wednesday 4th January 2012, 11:17AM GMT.
Hot on the heels of his recent sell-out Wolverhampton Civic Hall show, veteran funny man Ken Dodd has confirmed his Christmas show at the venue for 2012.
Ken Dodd´s Merry Christmas Laughter Show will be at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Sunday 16th December 2012.
Tickets priced £21, £18 and £15 plus booking fees are available from Midland Box Office: 0870 320 7000 or online at www.wolvescivic.co.uk
Christmas holds a special place in Kenneth Arthur Dodd’s heart – not least because it was on December 25 that the young Liverpool performer got his first paid job.
“I was 10 or 11,” he recalls. “I don’t know how I got the job. I went to St Edward’s Orphanage in Knotty Ash and I entertained the boys, and the Father Superior called me to his office and gave me half a crown.
“Then a couple of months later, I went to a school here in Knotty Ash, the headmaster asked me to do a turn at the PTA dance, and he gave me a shilling.
“Very early on I learned a very important lesson in business – how to take a cut gracefully!”
These days the hardest working octogenarian in show business is unlikely to need to take a cut, but he does like to take Christmas Day off, celebrating with family and attending services at his beloved Liverpool Cathedral, starting with Midnight Mass.

Please note: Doors open at 6pm.
Dodd is also appearing at the Prince of Wales Theatre in Cannock on Monday, January 30, 2012 and Dudley Concert Hall on Saturday, March 17, 2012.
