Arthur Smith
An Evening with Daphne Fairfax, based on his acclaimed memoir
Sun 17 Oct 2010 7.30pm
Theatre £16 (£14)
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.
From the star of BBC TV’s Grumpy Old Men, Q.I., Have I Got News For You and BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends.
“Enjoyably rambunctious.” The Guardian
“Witty, self-aware and poignant.” The Observer
