LIVE COMEDY - ARTHUR SMITH & FRIENDS

Arthur Smith - has become one of comedy's elder statesmen His immense humour, and willingness to laugh himself hoarse at others' jokes make him unusual in an industry eaten up by cool. To BBC radio and TV audiences, his career has been split between appearing on top quiz shows and fronting the funny section in Loose Ends. On TV, he's been a regular Grumpy Old Man and Countdown wordsmith. It's as a stage performer and writer where Smith's strongest talents make themselves felt, however. He regularly produces material that's both surreal, and almost instantly cultish, as well as popular. An Evening with Gary Lineker was nominated for an Olivier Award; his work has been set to music 'curated' by Stewart Lee, and his show 'Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen' has since transferred to Radio 4. Raymond and Mr Timpson - simply have to be seen to be believed. They are the without a doubt the maddest, silliest, stupidest, cleverest, strangest and everything else-ist as well as the funniest double act of comedians on the circuit. Rob Hitchmough is a writer, actor and comedian. He has written two stage plays, Campsite and One Step Ahead (which was shortlisted for the Hope Playwriting Prize 2015.) Acting credits include:Spooks, Watching (sit-com), EastEnders, Brookside, The Bill (twice), Absent (Woman's Hour series on Radio 4) and about 10 short films. Alasdair Beckett-King s an award-winning stand-up comedian, as seen on Comedy Central Live and Mock the Week, right before the BBC cancelled it. (This is just a coincidence, don’t read anything into it.) Alasdair has been heard but not seen on Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Now Show and BBC Radio Scotland’s Breaking the News.
