Great Fun, I found the show both funny and moving. Nice mix of comedy and pathos with the songs and poetry. Special guest (non-speaking part) was a special treat!

Loved it...was lucky enough to see Arthurs show 'Sid' a few years ago and along with new stories and songs was nice to hear part of that revisited.
Although affected by CBA i do hope it doesn't stop him coming back for a few more shows in the future.

The well travelled comedian covers the Fringe from its beginnings, and his shows there from 1977. His shows have varied from early zany comedy with plates crashed on people’s heads to Leonard Cohen homages. His mix of laconic humor goes down well.
It is early in the Fringe, and I have seen 58 shows of the around 160 I will see. So far, this was the 19th most enjoyable I have seen at the Fringe this year. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: https://fringefan.com/

What a joy! We laughed, sang and occasionally held back a tear. Plus a surprising special guest. Thank you.
