Count Arthur Strong: And It's Goodnight From Me!

Count Arthur Strong returns to The Alban Arena on Wednesday 19 May 2027, with his character comedy and that trademark confusion we've come to expect. The show is called And It's Goodnight From Me!, and it's the second part of his farewell tour.

If you're not familiar with the character, the whole thing revolves around Arthur's showbusiness recollections, which rarely finish where they began. The stage fills up with his muddled memories, verbal tangles, and a misplaced confidence that keeps him going even when he's completely lost the thread. It's character comedy in the truest sense: the joke isn't just in the punchlines, but in the way he gets himself into a mess and then tries to talk his way out of it.

This is the second leg of his Farewell Tour of the World, a massive run of 71 dates that takes in the north east and beyond. He's performing one last time, saying what just might be his final goodbye. The previous farewell tour went down well with the critics, too — The Mail on Sunday called it 'two hours of constant delight' and The Recs described it as 'a masterclass in character comedy'.

The show runs for about two hours, so it's a full evening's entertainment rather than a quick stop. Tickets are £25.50 to £27.50, with a £3.50 transaction fee on top, and it starts at 20:00 at The Alban Arena, Civic Centre, St Albans, AL1 3LD.
