The late comedian's charity is continuing his legacy
The late Squire of Knotty Ash had a £27.7m estate - the majority of which he asked to go to local charities that were close to his heart. His wife, Lady Anne Dodd took over the Ken Dodd Charitable Foundation after his death in 2018.
He now has his sights set on a career in the West End, joining the ranks of Liverpool Theatre School alumni who can be seen in smash-hit shows such as SIX, Blood Brothers, Wicked and the West End adaptation of Frozen. Lady Anne Dodd said: “It’s been wonderful to meet Nathan, who is clearly a very talented young man and a worthy recipient of this scholarship. We’re very pleased to be able to support him on his musical theatre journey as he begins training at the fabulous Liverpool Theatre School. Congratulations Nathan!”
The Ofsted outstanding rated Liverpool Theatre School provides industry recognised Trinity and BTEC qualifications in dance, musical theatre and acting, all designed to prepare young people for life as professional performers. The school regularly stages shows at local theatres, with final year students having the opportunity to perform in front of an audience of industry influencers in the heart of London’s West End.
