Count Arthur Strong's Command Performance

Count Arthur Strong, showbiz legend and raconteur, returns to the stage to remind us just what we've been missing... so get your Maltesers out, roll your trouser legs up and sit back and enjoy this wonderful show. Arthur is ably assisted in the Command Performance by Terry Kilkelly playing Malcolm and Renee, and Dave Plimmer as Alan Leslie.

Steve Delaney created Count Arthur Strong whilst studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama in the 1980s. During his career as an actor he recreated the character for an outing at the Edinburgh Fringe in the mid 90s. The character quickly became an Edinburgh Festival Fringe institution with his famed lecture talks gaining both a cult following and huge critical acclaim.

The character moved onto BBC Radio 4 for Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show!, winning the Sony Award for Best Radio Comedy in 2009. After seven radio series, Count Arthur made his televisual debut, initially on BBC2 (winning two BAFTA nominations along the way) before moving to BBC1.

First released: Friday 17th February 2017
