Just had a chance to watch him. Had me laughing out loud, literally. I think humor is pretty universal along with laughter! This guy is good! He would have no trouble makin' here in the States, especially with the accent, makes the story tellin' even better!!!!
I'm not a good example... having lived in England and Scotland... I tend to enjoy most Brit humor... toilet humor aside.

If you are talking about Ken Dodd there is no chance of him doing a gig in the States..He's 86 years old now..The joke about the income tax was because he had just been charged a fortune for back taxes although the inland revenue couldn't get a jury to find him guilty of Tax fraud.
And of course he comes from the same town as the beatles..

Back in the old days, I bought an Avocado, added a leash and some tacks for legs... led it into quarters in the staff lounge of SSC/NTC where I was an instructor. The room, full of my peers, all senior petty officers/instructors, seemed to freeze in time. The Senior Chief stopped what he was saying... looked at me for a moment, looked at my thoroughbred Avocado and calmly said " Leave approved"... before proceeding with the daily whatsit over the roar of laughter. I sold about a dozen shares in my Avocado Breeding Range that day. And, every leave I requested was granted from that day until I left NTC.
Now THAT was a real test of humor!
