The game's question

Read calmly and circle the name as soon as it becomes clear.

A comic bursting with energy, a tickling stick in his hand and a huge smile on his face. And yet this funny man also sang, and his song ‘Tears’ became the best-selling record of 1965, with five weeks at number one. Laughter one minute, a song the next. Who was he? Point to his name, then circle it.

  • Benny Hill
  • Ken Dodd
  • Lonnie Donegan
Need a hint?

Wave an imaginary tickling stick and smile as wide as you can. His surname rhymes with ‘odd’.

See the answer

Answer: Ken Dodd – ‘Tears’, the best-selling record of 1965.

Why this game : Laughter and a song from the same man – talking about him often raises a smile on both sides of the table.
