Count Arthur Strong, The Opera? Side splitting stuff with guaranteed next day tittering. I love the scrounging, demented, tourets inflicted, drunken old git. Reminds me of those lovely radio shows of the 50s but with 21st century bite. Beautifully observed. Don't miss out because A Twerp without any sense of humour tells you to.

I respect Radio 4 for trying something different - As I'm sure you know that a fair few alternative comedians owe a lot to Radio 4 for helping them to break into the mainstream. There is a place for this kind of comedy on Radio 4 and it's 11.15 at night and not 6.30 in the evening where it doesn't quite fit. Rest assured I'll be in the bath next Thursday and after you hear the show I bet you'll wish you had been relaxing with your Radox and rubber ducks too. joe Hi Dosser,

Thanks for the comment.

What do radio 4 think they're playing at", brigade. I've just had a look at his website. The radio show has been pick of the week in just about everything and on that basis you suggest it shouldn't be on? If you feel like that again on a Thursday at 6.30 go and have a bath or something. It's only half an hour a week! Radio 4 isn't just there for you. I havent't heard it but will definitely tune in this week. If I don't like it I won't listen again. I'll leave it for those who do.

I checked out the <a href="http://www.komediaentertainment.com/count_arthur_strong/">Arthur Strong website</a> and there are some strong and credible reviews. Its not my cup of tea at all but someone must like it. GRL If that last comment is genuinely from Mrs Strong then fair play to you for posting in the face of some pretty tough criticism.

I love the 6.30 comedy slot generally but this was trash. I honestly thought I was missing something and that this show might be being highly ironic and postmodern by being deliberately bad. The studio laughter was painful too. No more please. GRL Joe

I saw him live recently and he was actually really funny. I heard the show last night and admittedly it wasn't one of his best. Give the guy a break. Chris. He’s not that bad.

At least it's only on for 2 weeks. Love the blog by the way! Dan Hi Joe,
