Arthur Smith is often to be seen on TV shows but is undoubtedly a Fringe legend and it never ceases to amaze what creative direction he takes with his shows each time he graces Edinburgh in August.
This year he has created a seminar into how to be mindless, an easy programme in 12 simple stages that he leads us through. This is done with pearls of wisdom, VT, Norse Goddess Jadwega, mimicking penguins, socks and bubble wrap along the way.
Smith is a born raconteur, he captures the audience with his rhetoric, and draws even the most cynical audience member along on his journey from the opening sequence of him dancing in a leotard right through to the finale.
So to find the meaning of mindlessness, to know what Arthur’s Seat is really made of, to listen and learn how to fold towels correctly and to witness a legend at work, performing as only he can, then try to get you ticket today. The show is always on the sell out board and he is not here for the full run.
