October 2011 and Ken Dodd braved typical Blackpool weather to unveil the new Comedy Carpet. The carpet’s stats are:

• Created by artist, Gordon Young
• 1880m square
• 160,000 individually cut granite letters, embedded into concrete
• £2.6m
• 5 years from concept to installation
• 1,000 comedians and comedy writers

If you’ve never heard of the Comedy Carpet – see here.

The videos / images on that official site don’t show what you may want to see…Jimmy’s name. Thankfully the private video, below, shows someone starting to walk it, starting with the “C” names.
