Venue Cymru Arena

No probs Norman 08, but I knew that 2 tickets were curling up pinned inside the cupboard in the kitchen-- one for August17th and one for Sept 1st so I knew that unless the show had been cancelled that he was coming. My OH goes to every show, every time Doddy comes-- so much so that Doddy himself acknowledges him by name during the show ! Sad I know, but at 85 the great man still gives alot of 'Happiness' to alot of people!

yes he,s brill hoteliers don,t like him because he keeps the guests out late ha ha ,them 2 dates we are away but would have gone ,remember once tears rolling down our faces looking across 2 people had sad faces ,dont know why they went lol .

Leave the venue as it is and employ someone who can actually book artists?

He has cut back slightly timewise, namely midnight. I think the theatres had a go at him for keeping the staff there ! In the past the latest that we have ever come away from one of his shows was 1.40am. That was back in Yorkshire.
We once had someone tried to book a room with us and said that they would check in after the Ken Dodd Show.-- Needless to say they didn't get a room !

Sorry Norm i was being sarcastic,its a great idea but do you think the management there want that headache,too much like hard work,and i think there is a cinema hidden in there somewhere.

Yes get in a firm too run the place on a commission basis,it only lost 2 million last year.

I think he's hilarious, and great.
Trouble is when we saw him a couple of years ago, it was 1.10am finish, and from 7.30pm start my knees, my back and my bladder were screaming.... 'never again'!!

The theatre booklet gets worse year on year - it's grim reading nowadays.
Surely it should be getting better?? Why not set up a bus serivce with Bangor university and get some acts on that would appeal to somebody under 75  ££$

[Nemesis]

The booklet gets more difficult to negotiate round and the website is even worse !!!

[born2run]

Way behind the times! Then as soon as they have their blue moon event that someone actually wants to go to (Mumford and sons) their processes crumble.

So who is the headline act?

[wrex]

Booking agent for the Venue is crap,the website is a joke,even the theater seems to be empty these days and its losing 2 million a year and CCBC ARE DOING WHAT EXCACTLY?.

Once upon a time it was easy to find out what was on and indeed that there were theatres here because Catlins and then Robbie and Clive had posters everywhere.  Now unless you know the theatre is there you are not aware of anything happening.  It's a shame their marketing needs examination.
