Comedian, writer, broadcaster and all-round grumpy old man, Arthur Smith, is set appear at the Epsom Playhouse for an evening of off the wall humour.

The dry-witted comedian is known for his appearances on BBC’s Grumpy Old Men, Q.I, Have I Got News For You, The One Show, Radio 4’s Loose Ends and Balham Bash and Radio 2’s Smith Lectures.

An Edinburgh Festival stalwart, Arthur has attended the fringe comedy festival every year since 1977, where in 2010 he was nominated for the best publicity stunt award after declaring he would pay £100 to any journalist attending to juggle with fish.

Arthur will be appearing at the Epsom Playhouse on Tuesday, November 15.

Expect an evening crammed with jokes, anecdotes, short stories, poems, songs and readings from his recently published memoir, My Name Is Daphne Fairfax.
