Well known from the Radio 4 comedy, Steve Delaney's cult character, Count Arthur Strong, is an ageing entertainer from Doncaster with a deluded sense of his own importance and a talent for mangling words. This memoir, presented as a typewritten script with the great man's own handwritten annotations, is a satire of British show business autobiographies, with stories of childhood struggles, national service, early theatrical breaks and celebrity anecdotes accompanied by the authorâ€s nonsensical thoughts and opinions. Off-mint.

Count Arthur Strong - star of BBC Radio 4's Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show! - is an elderly pompous show-business legend . though really just an out-of-work deluded thespian originally from Doncaster. In Through It All I've Always Laughed he will tell the story of his extraordinary life in his own inimitable, tourettic, malaproping style. Count Arthur Strong is currently airing as a six-part BBC2 series co-written by Steve Delaney and Graham Linehan, BAFTA award-winning writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd in the UK. A second series of the show has already been commissioned.
