Used to listen to Arthur on night shift when driving petrol tankers; can't tell you what a lift it gave me at 11o/clock and made it easier to face the night ahead.
I feel the stage act is his forte. Love it much more than the telly series. Loved the radio series too. Some people just don't get him, though, which in itself is funny.
A friend and I went to a living museum the week after the hospital episode on TV. We asked one of the guides something and she replied "It's outside my field of expertise, I'm afraid" and we only just managed to thank her and her away before falling about laughing.
They've obviously got no sense of direction. That's not right. They've got no direction of humour. SENSE OF HUMOUR. That's what I said in the first place if you'd botheted to listen.
Some of you might remember a brilliant British ventriloquist called Arthur Worsley (AW). What you may not know however is the role that Count Arthur Strong had in helping AW break into the big time. It all happened one night in the Shoulder Of Mutton. Count Arthur had just finished downing his usual 8 pints of medicinal sploosh. "Well its been delightful talking to you AW" said Arthur 'ëven though you haven't said a bloody word all night! As for your talkative mate sitting on your knee however, all I can say is I feel like smashing his face in, stunted growth or no stunted growth. The little bas***** ". The rest as they say is history, I really do.
I'm not one for mincing me worms , but to remember dear dear Arthur Worsley " before he died , before he ran himself over with that flymo thing " he never said a bad word about any thing or anyone , mind you he was a bit simple .
Arthur Worsley was briliiant. No other ventriloquist came close. Ed Sullivan was impressed with how he could do his act in close up on TV because his technique was so good. I'm so happy that it was CAS who gave him a foot up it when he needed it most.
I have just come across this comedian and think he is brilliant. I sincerely hope the new tv show does well. The first one is brilliant, loved every moment. He reminds of some people in my past that I have know believe it or not.
Love him. That baffled girl in the front row makes me wonder if many women don't relate to him. Maybe it's Graham Linehan' s humour because most women I know don't relate to IT Crowd or Father Ted
Eh? I love CAS, Father Ted, Partridge, Day Today, Toast, Flight of The Conchords, Monty P, League of Gentlemen etc but I still have a vagina. What a freak I must be.
Arthur told me he was asked to form a comedy act with Barker & Corbett and it would be called the 3 Ronnie's he refused saying I'm not changing my name for those unfunny men, marvellous times they really were! But he did do a very funny sketch about 4 candles
boggled eyed booger 2209pm 11.7.23 his aggressiveness has left him for the tv show... whereas with this skit it's akin to the radio show. which was far more amusing.

What a genius comic creation.

Like the bemused girl on the front row!

Can't stop laughing at this, and can't believe he's not on T.V. more often!
Very few comedy acts now that can make you laugh like this. Original and brilliantly funny.
Saw him in Norwich a few years ago. The funniest night out ever.
Brilliant stuff. Very funny. I even laughed at the stony faced audience members who seem baffled. Long live The Count.
Some of them are obviously bamboozled. Well, they’re missing out!
They've obviously got no sense of
direction.
That's not right. They've got no direction of humour.
SENSE OF HUMOUR.

The audience seems like pretty hard work - but this is strong Arthur material.
Who could forget that Tiny Tut's mother was Cleen Queopatra of the Nile?
The guy is fantastic... at last an original comic.
I absolutely pissed myself at this it's brilliant he's a must for the Royal variety show
You pissed yourself at a Royal Variety Show? What did you do that for?
Seeing Arthur live in May.
So fill a bucket on that premise. I am, I said
The funniest thing I've seen for YEARS!!! Long live the Count!!
If count Arthur and Harland Williams were in the same room the universe would implode
I have just come across this comedian and think he is brilliant. I sincerely hope the new tv show does well.

Harry B It's chromosomal. Female DNA is eroded by Graham Linehan. Fact.
Eh? I love CAS, Father Ted, Partridge, Day Today, Toast, Flight of The Conchords, Monty P, League of Gentlemen etc but I still have a vagina. What a freak I must be.
Count Arthur worked with Graham Linehan only on the TV show.
This man sbsoluteky SLAYS me!
Yep, there are indeed old folk in Leeds just like this!
doesnt karma take a heavy toll on the evil youff of the area? cant be that manny who reach maturity....
In the 90s, men would shout "Waay" quite a lot for no reason.
Not men, students.
he has to put this routine in the next series of the tv show...it's just so hilarious!
Brilliant
Arthur is like me on acid. No, wait, me on acid is like Arthur. Oh bollocks
Hehe, indeed. Not just in Leeds.
It's Boggle Eyed BUGGER . But we probably not allowed to say that incase it enables someone to get offended .
You've been in the wars.
Gotta be the highlight of phills career , introducing steve .
Pure comedy genius. I really do.
So funny
Comedy genious

If Arthur did a song with the 2 ronnies, he could have been the Count in.Ha Ha.

The funniest and most original character in decades, yet the " woke " BBC cancel him?
A National Treasure.
Bunch of bloody idiots at the BBBC...
What's original about this? Playing a doddering old fool on stage. It's been done a million times.
LOL 😂
👍
Russell Babidge? You said you loved me but you don't write, you don't call
If the Buddhists are right could the Count be Fr Ted in a past life, before he died, as it were, if you believe in Carnation....er milk. Love it.
magic
funny as f***k
Frock? 🤷♂️
is he desperate for the toilet?
