This is sheer genius. Even the spitting was classy and well placed especially on the nights that critics sat in the front. Anyway, jokes are so, so 90's. Character comedy is the way forward and Count Arthuir should be called King Arthur of Comedy.

Just seen the Count as part of the Leicester Comedy Festival for the first time very funny, clever and original - most entertaining; can't wait for his next lecture.

Sheer genuis I haven't laughed so much for years.

I agree with everything Ariane Sherine has ever uttered and is yet to utter.And as far as the spitting goes, if she hadn't spat at me first none of that would have happened! So that's a lesson to be learnt there for someone!

Perhaps the show stretches the material 15 minutes too far. It is inspired and amusing, however, and one of the outstanding moments of the Fringe this year. Go and see it.

I liked it, but more laughs were to be had watching the man in front of me get annoyed because The Count wasn't telling any "jokes".

Classier than 99.9% of current telly dregs
