Arthur Smith

Need a good laugh? Join Arthur Smith in Ventnor this weekend

If you haven’t had a good laugh since Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner used PMQs to ask about importing a Tiger, get yourselves down to the Ventnor Winter Gardens this Saturday night.

Comedian, writer, broadcaster and all-round British institution Arthur Smith will be crossing the Solent to dish up an evening of sublime playfulness, crammed with jokes, anecdotes, short stories, poems, songs and readings from his recently published memoir ‘My Name Is Daphne Fairfax’ which has won praise from literary critics.

Arthur is guaranteed to bring you a night of hilarity, mirth and scandal…with a touch of rudeness thrown in for good measure.
