Although somewhat of a loner Count Arthur is never funnier than when he is in company. Only last week he did a full 15 minute comedy routine finishing with a rather risqué juggling routine involving a jar of Vaseline, an egg whisk and a doughnut. I thought the routine was hilarious but others such as the bereaved mother, the vicar and the guys waiting to fill in the grave were less impressed. As Arthur said there's no pleasing some people and "you might at least let me recover the whisk. That's 1.50 that is and they won't take it back with soil and sods on it!" A true legend I really do.
Count Arthur once trained as a tap dancer at "Overtures and Beginners," Streatham High Street. Although a promising student, sadly he could not grasp the fact that ballet had no dialogue. The last straw occurred when at a crucial part in Swan Lake, Arthur was heard to shout "Don't stand on that. Ooh that could have been painful could that. Luckily you've only dislodged my pair of socks but if I have any more of it I'll knock your block off!". A sad loss to Covent Garden, I really do.
I can't believe 6 people dislike the count ? It's without doubt the funniest act around ! I piss myself every time I see him ! Absolute genius. All the people who dislike him are counts to ! Without the o....
The Count at his very best. Wish the TV show allowed us to see him in his full cantankerous glory. Too nice on telly, watered down for mass appeal. But even so, he's the best thing on the box.
That was a film rather than a stage musical. Great one, though, where Julie Andrews and the kids fled to Australia pursued by Christopher Plummer and his stormtroopers. I really do.
Count Arthur Strong: Musicals 0624am 9.5.23 the man who gives credence to the schizophrenic nature of the thespian or actor per se... another very well observed gag. it is ok to laugh at the unfortunate as they're the ones usually booking the turns.

Simply brilliant,the bloody bbc really gave up on the comedy too soon,but then the same buggers wanted ride of Dad's Army,Inly fools but they were lucky someone had common sence,sadly not in this case instead they gave us mote bloody open a shitty hours.Which is no way s comedy.

Its OK to not get it Dave. Who makes you laugh out loud ? and spit your cup of tea out, In the middle of your tea, or diner. We would very much like to know, I really do. Dave.
Brilliant live, just love this guy.
See him live if you can. My sides ached. It's not what he says it's what he means. Totally hilarious.
Same here - Exeter a few years back. Couldn’t breathe with laughing, and my stomach hurt so much.
I couldn't breathe. He's amazing He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Comedy genius
This man is Brilliant.....more of his work should be available

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for that fabulous welcome... Pure comedy gold!
"Thank-You! For that Wonderful...Welcome!" ( ONTO COMPLETE SILENCE!)

I love,worship and adore Count Arther. I love everything he's done. I was worried about the move to TV delighted when it turned out to be sublime .

'Its health and safety gone mad! Some of us don't want to be healthy and safe!'. So wise, so very wise.
Good work, Sir Steve 👍😁

true classic
He is not alone in thinking that sometimes, I’m pretty certain of that.
Sublime entrance Count!

"A tap dancer...or something." Yup...about right!
Flatlee! Lord of The Flies! 😆🤣

What about the sound of mucous, then ?

Is that a coat hanger on the back of his coat?
Where else would Arthur have a coat hanger ?

"wore than Welsh that" lol.....
Teeheehee!
Like Dave Podmore, Count Arthur is funnier when you don't see him. Made for radio.
Worse than the soddin' Welsh...and EVERTHING ELSE CA SAYS! 😄
:)
WORST THAN SODDING WELSH
Tee-hee
I just don't get it, didn't laugh once. Each to their own I suppose.
Dave, you do have to be a certain age, and get it! .i.e Harry Worth!
