Count Arthur Strong - 13th March 2012

Jersey Opera House has played host to countless comedians down the years, but perhaps none quite so bizarre, left-field, outrageous or contagiously funny as Count Arthur Strong.

Impossible to pigeon-hole, Count Arthur Strong has earned cult status first on Radio 2, then at the Edinburgh Fringe and latterly via his Sony Award-winning series on Radio 4.

If you don't know already, Count Arthur Strong is a fading music hall artist who is now reduced to appearing, for example, on his own Doncaster Cable TV cookery programme, though he believes he is a big star and continually reminisces about his past and show business pals.

He is a walking, shouting, shambolic wreck of a man, an old curmudgeon with few saving graces and even fewer social skills.

He evokes hugh belly laughs throughout his superb 90 minute set piece. Enjoy it for what it is - a comic master-class that only comes round once in a while.
