Count Arthur Strong

Count Arthur Strong is a once-celebrated relic of variety’s golden era, afflicted by grandiose illusions, patchy memory, and a habit of mangling words with accidental malapropisms. In truth, he was never nearly as renowned as he believes he was—or still believes he is. Convinced that one more major showbusiness breakthrough is just a phone call away, Arthur fills his days by seizing every chance that comes his way, whether it means securing a complimentary lunch or offloading a dubious foot spa he has no desire to keep. In his wake, he leaves disorder and bewilderment everywhere he goes, entirely oblivious to the chaos he has caused.
