Date published: 12 June 2015
SADDLEWORTH ARTS FESTIVAL
Funnyman Arthur Smith entertained revellers at Saddleworth Festival with jokes, songs and his own brand of grumpiness.
He played the festival, which runs until June 14, at Uppermill Civic Hall on Tuesday.
Arthur was one of many stand-up performers on the alternative comedy scene in the 1980s and has regularly attended the Edinburgh Fringe comedy festival since 1977.
Arthur has performed musical comedy shows such as “Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen”, later broadcast on Radio 4.
He took over as narrator of the TV series “A Life of Grime” after the death of John Peel and was one of TV’s “Grumpy Old Men”.
