ARTHUR SMITH
Arthur Smith is one of the UK’s most respected and influential comedians, writers and presenters, bringing decades of sharp, intelligent and gloriously off-beat comedy to the stage.
A Perrier Award winner at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Arthur has enjoyed an extraordinary career across live comedy, television and radio. He is best known as the creator and host of the cult BBC Radio 4 series Loose Ends, which ran for over 30 years, as well as for his appearances on Have I Got News For You, They Think It’s All Over, QI and Grumpy Old Men.
A celebrated live performer, Arthur is renowned for his warm, witty storytelling style, combining surreal humour, political insight and personal anecdotes. He remains a regular and much-loved presence at comedy festivals and theatres across the UK, including the Edinburgh Fringe.
In addition to his work on stage and screen, Arthur is an accomplished writer and author, with several books to his name exploring comedy, culture and modern life. His influence on British comedy is immense, having helped shape generations of performers while continuing to entertain audiences himself.
Arthur Smith’s appearance at Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel promises an evening of intelligent, laugh-out-loud comedy from one of the true greats of British stand-up.
Joining Arthur on a cracking lineup:
Darryl Purvis – A brilliantly original comic with a delightfully quirky take on modern life, known for his offbeat delivery and intelligent laughs.
David Ward (MC) – A highly experienced host and stand-up, David is quick-witted, razor sharp and guarantees the night runs at full throttle.
Phil Green – One of the UK’s most exciting rising stars, Phil’s high-energy storytelling and infectious enthusiasm have made him a firm crowd favourite.

Constructive Review. First half spoiled for me with row in front talking all the way through. This is such a small venue so totally thoughtless. Content second half was better than the first half by far.
