Exclusive: Arthur Smith sings Lady Gaga

Arthur Smith Sings Lady Gaga is a brand new 'secret' pop-up show. It's not listed in any brochure, but if you see Arthur in and around Edinburgh during the Fringe, tap him on the shoulder, yell, 'sing Gaga' and he'll perform one of her hits, then and there, just for you. Or if that feels too random, you can join him celebrating the Gilded Balloon 30th Anniversary with a Comedy Walk.
