Arthur Smith's Balham Bash
Welcome to Arthur Smith's 26-bedroom mock-Tudor manor house, in the heart of international Balham. Behind his front door are a plethora of prodigiously talented performers, all ready and eager to entertain. There's jamming in the kitchen, laughter in the lounge and poetry on the landing - and a whole lot more fun and frolics going on upstairs...
Among Arthur's very special house guests are comedians Pippa Evans (as Loretta Maine), Milton Jones, Stephen K Amos, Micky Flanagan, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Andrew Lawrence, Tom Wrigglesworth, Jenny Eclair, Sean Lock and Kevin Eldon. Plus, there's vibrant verse from Benjamin Zephaniah, John Hegley, Elvis McGonagall, John Smallshaw and Kate Fox, and sensational songs and music from Glenn Tilbrook, Alabama 3, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Scouting For Girls, Paloma Faith, Gomez, Nine Below Zero, Katie Melua, Alex Wilson and his salsa combo, and Squeeze.
