Arkle, Ken Dodd knows how to work an audience, took in his show whilst visiting Blackpool years back, laughed from start to finish.
Les Dawson was good live in Blackpool as well, the best I ever saw live however was Billy Connolly almost 30 years ago now at the Playhouse Theatre in Edinburgh.
Also recall my parents taking me to see Danny La Rue in Blackpool whilst in my teens.
Was dreading going, could`nt fathom why I was being taken along to see a drag - queen?
Mind you I`d also met this tidy English lass at our hotel which might have had something to do with it lol.
Anyway, Danny was an absolute riot, laughed all night long, much better live than he was on telly.
Chesham, The Krankies are still going strong in Scotland though they may have changed their act a bit, not sure if the wee woman could stand being thrown around like that anymore?
