Free track from Arthur Smith

Today's track on Chortle's free compilation comedy album comes courtesy of Arthur Smith.

Thanks to AudioGO, we’re offering a free track to download every day for 14 days, enabling you to build up an album of extracts from some of the very best comedy offerings to have been broadcast on the BBC.

The promotion will feature the likes of Mitchell and Webb, Dave Gorman, Rhod Gilbert, Miranda Hart and Stephen Fry – among many others.

And tomorrow, we’ll run a competition to win a download of all seven full albums from which the first week of sample tracks came.

AudioGO is the home of BBC audiobooks, and publishes an extensive range of comedy CDs and downloads from BBC radio. It is currently running a January sale with reductions on a huge range of big-name titles.

Today's track is from Arthur Smith's Balham Bash – in which the stand-up veteran introduces a comedy festival that tales place entirely in the confines of his own house.
