I've seen him live (many years ago). I quite enjoyed the performance but I felt frustrated when I realised that he wasn't going to end his act before closing time!
Saw Doddy last year and was sat on the front row. He "picked on me" all through the show. I have never enjoyed myself so much. The first thing he said when he came on was to establish what time we wanted to go home. He suggested midnight. Someone shouted OK and he replied You're not stopping till the end then.
At the very end of the show he threw me his tickling stick. I'd go and see him again like a shot.
