For more than fifty years Ken Dodd has been discomknockerating audiences in packed venues across Britain with his unique brand of madcap humour. Despite his advancing years, he continues to perform his legendary four-hour sets to his adoring fans, claiming 'I do it because this is what I do. I do it because that is what I am.' But what drives this man who still lives in his childhood home in Knotty Ash? Why has he never married, despite having two long-term 'fiancees'? How did he develop his famously strange relationship to money, which culminated in his 1989 trial for tax evasion? & how did this feather-duster salesman from Liverpool become one of the greatest, though least-lauded, comic geniuses of his generation? In this fascinating biography, Stephen Griffin has interviewed friends, colleagues & fellow comedians to reveal who's the Daddy.
