SIR Ken Dodd’s widow has revealed that the comic was proud of his record-breaking run at Bradford’s Alhambra theatre, and often heard from Sunbeams he worked with over 60 years ago.
Ken starred in 1958/59 pantomime Jack And The Beanstalk, the theatre’s longest ever panto run, and over the years he brought his comedy shows to Bradford, where he had many fans. He did a five-hour show at the Alhambra a few months before his death in 2018, aged 90.
Lady Anne Dodd said: “Ken was so proud of his record at the glorious Alhambra Theatre. He used to hear regularly from ex-Sunbeams from so many years ago, one in particular kindly still send me messages when she reminisces about those happy days.”
