Heroic entertainer Count Arthur Strong is to celebrate two decades in showbusiness with a brand new tour in 2022.

The And This Is Me! Tour will start on February 9 at the Wimborne Tivoli and currently ends on June 2 at the Birmingham Alexandra Theatre.

The decision for the tour was explained on his website thus: "After many years of giving his wonderful lecture talks of his he does, Count Arthur Strong has at last bowed to substantial pubic demand and allowed himself be talked into making the show about himself for once. And that had never occurred to him before because of him being highly magnanimous.

From his breakthrough Edinburgh Fringe show ‘Forgotten Egypt’ in 2002 to talking about himself in 2022, Arthur has two decades of memories from his ten national tours,15 years of his multi Award winning radio show and three series of his BAFTA nominated TV sitcom."

Count Arthur announced the tumultuous news on his Twitter feed: "SHORT PUBIC ANNOUNCEMENT! Hello everybody. This morning you find me in a highly charged and emotional state, because I am delighted, thrilled and the other one to announce my return to the stage in 2022 with a brand new show. Please, no tears!"
