Sir Kenneth Arthur Dodd, OBE (8 November 1927 – 11 March 2018) was an English comedian, singer-songwriter and actor, identified by his unruly hair and protruding teeth, his red, white and blue "tickling stick" and his upbeat greeting of "How tickled I am!" He also created the characters of the Diddy Men ("diddy" being an informal British word for "small"). In the 1960s his fame in the UK was such that he rivalled the Beatles as a household name. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Ken+Dodd">Read
