Harry Enfield and No Chums

Harry Enfield brings his show Harry Enfield and No Chums to The Alban Arena on Tuesday 17 November, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm. If you've followed his work, you'll know him as a satirical comedian and actor who calls himself a 'stupid idiot' — a self-description that fits the kind of character-driven comedy he's built his name on.

For many, Enfield is the man behind a whole gallery of British types: Loadsamoney, Stavros, Smashie & Nicey, Kevin the Teenager, and Mr You-Don't-Wanna-Do-It-Like-That. He also played Martin, Alfie's father, in BBC Three's Bad Education alongside Jack Whitehall, and teamed up with Paul Whitehouse for the BBC sketch show Harry & Paul. This show is a retrospective across four decades of British comedy, and it's not a conventional stand-up set. It's part character performance, part career retrospective, and part audience-with: he brings his favourite creations back to life on stage before opening the evening to questions from the room.

It's a night for the characters that made him, and since it's an over-18s show, it's aimed at the crowd that grew up with them. Tickets are £35 to £55, with a £3.50 transaction fee on top. The show starts at 7:30pm at The Alban Arena, Civic Centre, St Albans, AL1 3LD.
