Arthur Smith: My 75 Years at the Edinburgh Fringe

Arthur Smith’s love letter to the playground of the imagination that is the Edinburgh Fringe on its 75th birthday. Recalling some of the triumphs, disasters, love affairs and arrests of his many Augusts in Auld Reekie. Hamlet, Colditz, Leonard Cohen, Dante, dementia, Arthur's Seat, Gary Lineker and the Leith Police all feature in this moving hour of revelations, songs, poems, gags and bad costumes. This is Arthur's last-ever Edinburgh show so you had better be there. ‘There are Fringe legends and then there is Arthur Smith’ (Bruce Dessau, Times).
