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. Arthur Smith sings Leonard Cohen volume 2 was a huge hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and then at venues around Britain and Ireland. It returns now to the Soho Theatre - lengthened, deepened, with extra laughs and the addition of 4 more Cohen songs (including 'the most miserable song ever written'). The show reflects on despair, decline and dementia yet succeeds in being hilarious, joyous and life-affirming. Smith, playwright, grumpy old man, 'Radio 4's bit of rough' and stand-up comic, is enhanced by the fabulous Smithereens, a trio of unbeatably melodious and glamourous singer/musicians to produce an evening you will never forget.
