A true comic who didn't need bad language or blue material to make you laugh. Sadly missed but not forgotten

[@grahamd5418]

Agreed. Also didn't need to get his laughs at other peoples expense.

[@markbumford8076]

@@grahamd5418 glad you agree Graham and as you rightly say his humour was aimed at anyone with no malice or ridicule. Dear Ken was of the old school blessed with a beautiful gift of making his fellow man laugh and you could watch it with the family knowing you was safe..?

I used to read a comic called TV Comic, which came out I think at the beginning of the 70's. Goodwin had his own comic strip called Settle Down With Ken Goodwin. Does anyone else remember this?

[@josephamego1528]

What a good singer, didn't know he could sing, reminded me of Michael Holliday and boy can ge play that Ukulele.. I liked the comedians used to look forward to the shows on Saturday nights. Ah those memories.

I saw Ken Goodwin "Live" in the mid 1970's along with other greats of that time such as Frank Carson, Jim Davidson and Mike Reid. They don't make comedy like they used to, thanks to this PC World that we now live in.

[@stevenspooner6404]

One of the best comedian's ever seen him play twice at Wallsend miners club uk nobody could stop laughing .

[@CarlB_1962]

Too many modern so-called comedians rely on crudity and expletives to get laughs. Getting laughs without them takes intelligence and real talent, which Ken had by the bucketload.

[@davidchiles5331]

His voice was just like Bing Crosby and a great comedian. Sad to hear that when his wife was so sick with cancer he stopped performing to take care of her, so sad.

[@shaunigothictv1003]

What a lovely bloke Ken was. I always wondered what happened to him in his later years. There seems to be no trace of him whatsoever working in the 1990's as a stand up comic or even a singer. I tried to find some information on what happened to him in his later years but I couldnt find anything meaningful. As a comic, his style was clean and innocent which was actually great for the type of audiences he performed for. Each to their own I guess. The best comic in the 1970's was a bloke who never actually made it big. He was an alternative comedian who was 25 years ahead of his time. His name was John Paul Joans and he was amazing and completely different to the standard working mens club acts like Bernard Manning and George Roper. His persona on stage was like a mad warlock. In the 1970's John Paul Joans was the most talented stand up comic in Britain. But he did not know how to market himself to TV executives. As for Ken, he also messed up by not doing enough to promote himself on TV. Apart from appearing on the TV show called "the comedians" and this one off special broadcast Ken did very little TV work in the 1970's or 1980's If he would have marketed himself properly to the TV executives I'm sure that they would have given him his own consistent mini TV show as he was an all round clean stand up comic. Or at least they would have given him a slot here and there on other entertainment programmes Ken did not have a very good business brain, just like John Paul Joans who was light years ahead of his time. But Ken was a lovely bloke who will be missed dearly. Im sorry I never got to meet John and Ken personally, as me and them would have had a great laugh hanging out with eachother and playing pool at all the local pubs where ever they performed.
