Event information
Two poets from different planets crash land onto stages across the UK and Ireland, making a poetic and comedic show greater than the sum of its parts…. (never ask a lady the sum of her parts). Expect poets, puns, laughter from these two brilliant wordsmiths.
Running time: 2 x 45 mins sets with a 20 mins interval in between
Arthur Smith is a BBC regular well-known for his appearances on TV’s ‘Grumpy Old Men’, ‘QI’, ‘Have I Got News For You’, ‘The One Show’, Radio 4’s ‘Loose Ends’, ‘Balham Bash’, and host of Radio 4 Extra’s Comedy Club.
He is a ‘Spirit of the Fringe’ award-winning Edinburgh Festival stalwart and Olivier nominated playwright for ‘An Evening With Gary Lineker’.
Clare Ferguson-Walker is an award-winning poet, comedienne, sculptor and singer. Clare has performed at literature festivals and events throughout the UK. Her late night shows at the 2023 Dylan Thomas Laugharne weekend and the accolades she received, made her realise that she needs to go back on the road with a stand-up show. Mixing her poetry with comedy, she’s ready to get back to work on her first love.
