An Evening with Arthur Smith

Arthur Smith — takes to the stage for an evening of laughter, stories and conversation. The gravel-voiced master of dry wit and Radio 4’s self-proclaimed “bit of rough” — takes to the stage for an evening of laughter, stories and conversation. From Grumpy Old Men to Loose Ends, Arthur has carved out a unique space in British comedy as a performer, playwright and occasional wordsmith on Countdown. In this live event, he’s joined by BBC broadcaster Georgy Jamieson for a candid, unscripted chat about everything from life in the 1980s alternative comedy scene to growing old (dis)gracefully — with a few diversions into family, fame, and fox costumes. Georgy’s warmth and insight draw out stories from Arthur’s colourful past — from his days sweeping streets and advertising chicken burgers in a fox suit, to penning the award-winning play An Evening with Gary Lineker and presenting Excess Baggage
