The late great comedian Ken Goodwin. Another selection of highlights from the popular 70's comedian. Watch out for Ken's tribute to George Formby as he plays the ukulele and sings 'Leaning on a Lamp Post'.
I saw Ken perform on a cruise ship once. A wonderful comedian with no smut or swearing, a really lovely, gentle, approachable man.....they don't make them like this any more....more's the pity.
I recommended Ken Goodwin to my 22 year old son and he thought his act was hilarious! It just goes show that true comedy is timeless.This bloke is on fire .
Worked with ATV Network Ltd in the 1970's and we did that Royal Command at the Palladium in 1971. He was brilliant then and he is equally as funny now. Seems so sad that he died after not going on to the fame and fortune of the other northern comedians. I returned home to NZ and still tell others of his utter talent. You made us laugh Ken and that was a talent to be admired.
Such a lovely funny man and so naturally talented. Few people know that he had a really wonderful singing voice. George Formby was one of his childhood heroes, in fact he's playing his Dallas D 'George Formby' Banjo Ukulele at the end of this video.
These acts were masters of their trade. They had come up the hard way playing the working men's clubs and theatres. Ken Goodwin is just plain daft...honest to goodness daftness...nothing nasty and with perfect timing. Wonderful stuff. They will be greatly missed.
Brilliant...harmless humor!...saw him live back in the day...he walked on stage...and didn't say anything just laughed for five minutes...the audience just laughed for 5 minutes...he had said nothing...less is more,x
facial expressions,timing, that contagious laugh, accent - he had it all...pure genius. Ken,,you will be sadly missed.

Brilliant! Please please bring this humour back.
I was only a kid when Ken Goodwin was on TV and I used to love him.
I meet him in Bristol while i was having my haircut.We had a chat and what a lovely bloke he was.

When comedy was funny, Saturday nights worth watching
Ken's timing was brilliant.
I remember me and my dad, god bless him, laughing our heads off at Ken. Proper, no smut, just fun, comedian.
Such a funny man , he mastered the "child-like" delivery and the little asides like

What a really lovely man he was.Shared dressing room with him in 1970 at Leeds varieties for Ace Of Clubs talent show on BBC TV.He should have won!
I enjoyed it so much, laughing at simple things, wonderful.
I used to watch the Comedians hoping that Ken Goodwin would be on. My stomach used to ache from laughing at him. He was brilliant.
