A special show is to take place in November to pay tribute to Arnold Brown, one of the first performers at the Comedy Store in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Brown, who is 87*, is now retiring from stand-up. 

In this one-off show his colleagues and friends, stand-up comedian Adam Bloom and Dr. Brian Kaplan, together with Arnold, will reflect on his life in comedy and the collaboration between health and humour that Arnold has championed for years.

Former accountant Brown is famous for his laconic deadpan style and one liners: "I'm both Scottish and Jewish, that's two racial stereotypes for the price of one”. 

The show takes place on November 1 at the King Alfred Phoenix Theatre in north London. Buy tickets here.

*That's what we've been told.
