Legendary comedian, writer and Grumpy Old Man Arthur Smith tells the funny, terrifying story of his father Syd, POW and PC on night duty in 1950s London - an ordinary man who lived through extraordinary times.
Syd Smith fought at El Alamein, became a prisoner of war, and ended the war in Germany's notorious Colditz Castle. In the 1950s PC Syd patrolled London?s South Bank and met a gallery of characters, whom he tried his best not to arrest. Arthur tells this 20th Century story with laughter, amazement and a hilarious photo.
Smith?s show was The Times ?Critic?s Choice for Top Comedy Pick? and The List ?Top Tip? show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
?A touching and funny tribute to Arthur Smith's own father. Beautiful? ?????
?There are Fringe legends and then there is Arthur Smith? ? Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard
Masham Town Hall is an imposing, Grade II listed stone building built in 1912 and opened in May 1913. Set up by a legacy from the 2nd Lord Masham, the Town Hall is at the heart of the busy, beautiful ansd historic market town of Masham in the Yorkshire Dales.
Providing recreational, cultural and educational events and meeting spaces for the residents of Mashamshire and our visitors, the Town Hall celebrated its centenary year in 2013 and is now running its busiest ever programme of events and activities.
The building contains an imposing Main Hall with a large raised stage on the first Floor, with a Small Hall, Committee / History Room, and kitchen facilities on the Ground Floor.
We host a busy programme of performances, films, meetings and classes, craft fairs and coffee mornings, and private hires from conferences to band practice. From nursery sessions through the Youth Club to Indoor Bowls, the Town Hall hosts events of interest to everybody in the Masham community.
The Town Hall is the perfect venue for your wedding reception, affordable and charming. Children's parties are bookable at a special rate for local families.
The entire building is accessible (upstairs via a lift) with induction loop facilities in the Main Hall and Small Hall.
The Town Hall would not still be here without decades of support from the Masham Steam Rally, which has gone from strength to strength since the 50th Rally in 2015 and is now acclaimed as the finest in the North.
