Comedian, writer, broadcaster and all-round British institution Arthur Smith and bask in an evening of laughter and off-the-wall humour with one of the 'alternative comedians' who shook up the 80s and 90s. Expect an evening of sublime playfulness, crammed with jokes, anecdotes, short stories, poems and songs. Arthur is simply one of our funniest and most original comic performers and is guaranteed to bring you a night of hilarity, mirth and scandal... With a touch of rudeness thrown in for good measure.

An Evening with Daphne Fairfax, based on his acclaimed memoir
A vigorous account of the peculiar business of being alive. Arthur reflects on the nature of comedy and his days as a scruffy kid on bombsites, a wild-haired undergraduate, a roadsweeper, an English teacher, a failed rock star, a boozed-up sexual adventurer and an intensive care patient.
