MORE than 800 Ken Dodd fans packed into Clacton's Princes Theatre for his sell-out show on Sunday.

It is the second time the veteran funnyman has sold out the venue in three years.

Staff had to turn some fans away.

Theatre manager Wendy Bilsby said: “The hardest thing with him is not selling the tickets but getting him off the stage at the end of the show – he would want to go on forever!”
