After Arthur is a sharp, surreal stand-up character comedy created and performed by Jack Scullion, presented free via PBH's Free Fringe at The Street. Arthur, once the wide-eyed star of a beloved kids TV cartoon, is now 36, skint and spiralling. After decades of autographs, arena tours and breakfast cereal endorsements, he faces obscurity, irrelevance and a group chat that won't reply. The 60-minute show is for audiences aged 18 and over and involves audience participation.
Why see this show?
A free show about a fictional children's TV star wrestling with obscurity — Jack Scullion's character comedy is sharp, nostalgic and more poignant than its premise suggests. The surreal unravelling is genuinely hard to look away from.
