He has also broadcast three series of Arthur Smith’s Balham Bash for Radio 4 and is currently the host of  ‘Arthur Smith's Comedy Club’ on Radio 4 Extra as well as presenter on Radio 4 programmes Excess Baggage and Loose Ends.  

In 2010 Smith he banned all reviewers from his Edinburgh show unless they could juggle three kippers onstage and in 2005, he turned down a Lifetime Achievement award from the Perrier Award organizers. “They wanted to tell me I was old and cool, ” he said. “Well, I know that already, and my ego is bloated enough.”
