Count Arthur Strong, one time Variety Star now sole proprietor and owner of Doncaster's Academy of Performance, is a show business legend, raconteur, and lecturer extraordinaire. Count Arthur combines sardonic wit and old school sensibilities with a touch of Basil Fawlty. His forgetfulness and slight deafness results in sporadic and unnecessary shouting reminiscent of an elder relation, to whom everyone can relate.

Count Arthur Strong's lectures became an Edinburgh Fringe institution and he now graces the airwaves of BBC Radio 4 in his hit radio series. There you can get an insight to his exploits of yesteryear in the glorious biz they call show. A favourite with his fellow comedians, his plaudits include Steve Coogan, Johnny Vegas and Ross Noble.

He can be seen on tour promoting his potential West End Musical in the UK. See www.countarthurstrong.com for full details!
