Arthur Smith - Work In Progress Show
Arthur Smith - Work In Progress Show at Canalhouse, Nottingham
About the show
"The title of this show stands for 'Work in Progress' or 'Weekend in Paris' or possibly both.
I'm writing this in May so l've no real no idea what I'll be saying to you in November. But I can assure you, whatever it is, it will be funny, ridiculous, profound or maybe none of these.
But I can guarantee that, unless I have died between now and then, I will turn up.
Featuring - Arthur Smith
Comedian, compere and playwright. This grumpy old man per excellence presents the BBC Radio 4 show 'Excess Baggage' and has written four plays including 'An Evening With Gary Lineker' and 'Live Bed Show'.
His stand-up topics range from vigorous yodelling to mediaeval literature via death by drink. His delivery is relaxed and sardonic, but his shows are a surprising, dark and witty treat.
He's also one of the many 'Grumpy Old Men' that appear on BBC 2's hit show.
'The funniest and most honest comic of his generation' (The List).
