Once the wide-eyed star of a beloved kids TV cartoon, Arthur is now 36, skint and spiralling. After decades of autographs, arena tours and breakfast cereal endorsements, he’s facing obscurity, irrelevance and a group chat that won’t reply. In this sharp, surreal stand-up character comedy, Arthur wrestles with faded fame, adult reality and the crushing truth that nobody remembers him. Created and performed by Jack Scullion, as seen on U&Dave and ITV2, and member of Edinburgh Fringe hit Not Another Quiz Night, After Arthur is a nostalgic, chaotic unravelling you won’t want to miss.
