Christmas Carol with the Count

For the festive season the delightfully befuddled Count Arthur Strong sets his sights on none other than Charles Dickens, performing his very own adaptation of A Christmas Carol! In the fashion you'd probably expect from Arthur, what begins as a respectful homage to a classic is almost certain to spiral into something accidentally, uniquely, completely his own. With his showbiz flair, misplaced confidence and penchant for the odd malapropism, this timeless tail is surely worth a fresh watch if it's delivered by old Arthur. 

The creation of comedian Steve Delaney, Count Arthur Strong has been a fixture on stage, radio and television since the mid 2000s, with a BBC Radio 4 show, a BBC 2 sitcom and many side-splitting live shows.  A former music hall entertainer, the character's delusions of his own grandeur in the world of showbiz and variety performance define him, with simultaneously providing a warming flashback to the golden age of the music hall performer. Don't miss it!
