Arthur Smith

Arthur Smith sings Leonard Cohen volume 2 was a huge hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and then at venues around Britain and Ireland. It returns now - lengthened, deepened, with extra laughs and the addition of 4 more Cohen songs (including 'the most miserable song ever written').

The show reflects on despair, decline and dementia yet succeeds in being hilarious, joyous and life-affirming. Smith, playwright, grumpy old man, 'Radio 4's bit of rough' and stand-up comic, is enhanced by the fabulous Smithereens, a trio of unbeatably melodious and glamourous singer/musicians to produce an evening you will never forget.

"This bittersweet blend of stand-up and song made me laugh (a lot) and cry (a bit)... a triumph." **** - Times

"The Smithereens, Smith's sensational troupe of backing singers, [are] ... Ethereal, playful and beguiling." **** - Fest
