John Martin pens life writing for legends Dodd & Tarby

John Martin, from Northop, in Flintshire, is a funny man, that's funny ha ha, not funny peculiar. He's also the Guinness World Record holder for continuous joke telling - 101 hours and 39 minutes - a title he's been undefeated in since 1993. Having written material for some comedy greats, including Sir Ken Dodd and Jimmy Tarbuck, the 57-year-old has now penned his own life story.
