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.

What a great night. I had never seen Lou Conran do a complete set before, I had only seen her MC comedy clubs. I had heard she was brilliant as Tour Support for Sarah Millican so I travelled to Kent from Surrey as it was the closest venue to where I live. I was not disappointed. Lou was excellent and so was her own support act Eddy Brimson. My jaw was still aching the next day from laughing so much. The venue itself was great, friendly staff and very reasonable drinks. Spoke to the promoter who was extremely helpful and a bit of a character, he told me they run a regular comedy night once a month, I will definitely be back. Even the guy checking tickets (who I was told normally works at a different club for the promoter but was there due to the high demand for the show) was extremely funny and was bantering with the incoming crowd and would not have been put of place on the stage himself. My advice to anyone who is interested in seeing Lou Conran live is go and do it, you will not be disappointed, one of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time. Also if you go to the House of Stand Up, book early, inwas lucky to get some of the last remaining tickets. Highly recommended.
