Edge Street Live presents: Arthur Smith & Clare Ferguson-Walker: Two Poets And A Packet Of Crisps

Standard: £19.50

2 x 45 mins sets with a 20 mins interval in-between.

Two poets from different planets crash land onto stages across the U.K 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 poems, puns, laughter and tales from these two brilliant wordsmiths.

Arthur Smith is a BBC regular, well known for his appearances on TV’s ‘Grumpy Old Men’, ‘Q.I.’, ‘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 a regular special guest with the legendary “Governor of UK stand up
poetry”, John Cooper Clarke. She has shows with him coming up soon on his upcoming UK tour in spring 2024. JCC says CFW is as “Funny as Fuck”. Could there be a greater accolade from the man who so many stand ups cite as their greatest influence. Just ask Tom Rhodes! Another UK poet and stand up who Clare has often worked with, Phil Jupitus describes her as “Absurdly Talented” The late great Jeremy Hardy was a massive fan.
