22nd July 2011 Comedian Arthur Smith "Cancelled"

Postby IainJ » Thu May 26, 2011 11:14 pm

Hi Everyone

I am posting this up for The Kintyre Cultural Forum who are running a fundraising Comedy Night towards a new arts cultural centre in Campbeltown.

The Kintyre Cultural Forum are delighted to announce that well known comedian Arthur Smith will play at a fundraising Comedy Night in the Victoria Hall, Campbeltown on Friday July 22nd. Arthur will appear at this fundraising event towards the creation of a new Arts Cultural Centre in Campbeltown as part of his Arthur Smith Exposed tour, local comedian Kerrie Ross will MC the night.

Comedian Arthur Smith is an Edinburgh Festival stalwart and regular on the TV series, 'Grumpy Old Men'. He has become one of comedy's elder statesmen: an Edinburgh Fringe stalwart and a club compere since the early days of the alternative scene, he still uses many of the same gags today.
He's also become a regular on Radios 2 and 4, appeared in the sitcom Red Dwarf and has regular slots on the One Show and QI.

His comedy is best described as observational comedy with a strong flavour of the absurd, although he is an expert at delivering one liners. Expect an evening of sublime playfulness, crammed with jokes, anecdotes, short stories, poems, songs and readings. His stand-up topics range from vigorous yodeling to mediaeval literature via death by drink. His delivery is relaxed and sardonic, but his shows are a surprising, dark and witty treat.

The KCF would like to thank the Ardshiel Hotel for sponsoring the accommodation for the event.
Tickets costing £12 are now on sale from AP Taylors, Main Street, Campbeltown and on-line at http://www.ticketweb.co.uk or phone 08444 771 000, for more details email kintyreculturalforum@hotmail.co.uk Please note this event is licensed, anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult and some of the material is not suitable for under 14s.

If you want to hear Arthur Smith on Janice Forsyth's Comedy Show on Radio Scotland you can hear it for a few days more. The interview is 1h20 into the show. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01291xs/Janice_Forsyth_02_07_2011/

Hi Everyone

Unfortunately Arthur has had to cancel the gig on Friday night due to a family illness. We have only just found this out and we apologise to anyone who has already bought their tickets or booked tables for the event.

Everyone who has bought tickets so far will receive their money back from either AP Taylors or Ticketweb and we hope that we can arrange an alternative date for this event in the future. Arthur has sent his sincere apologies for having to cancel but as organisers, the Kintyre Cultural Forum, we understand that family must come first and we send Arthur and his family our best wishes.
