Description

The critically acclaimed ?Mark Steel?s in Town? was voted the 6th best radio comedy ever, and Mark is a regular on the BBC?s Have I Got News for You and QI, as well as BBC R4?s The News Quiz. He has been named newspaper columnist of the year, and is author of the award-winning audiobook ?Who Do I Think I Am??

There is so much to yell about. There?s the modern world, in which you spend so long trying to work out iTunes that it?s easier to form a band and learn the songs. But there?s also so much to be delighted with. Like the fact that everyone in Northampton knows the sign that says ?Family Planning Advice ? Use Rear Entrance?.

Then there?s the crazy story of being brought up in a working-class street in Kent, to discover that my natural father was a millionaire backgammon player who was best mates with Lord Lucan.

I?ve come to terms with the fact that I?m a heap of contradictions, trying to stay young while being unable to log into any website. Trying to be respectable and mainstream (in this show there will even be a piano and a bit of singing), until I can?t help breaking into a steaming rant that would get me locked away somewhere secure if it wasn?t on a stage.

And this is stand-up, so whatever has happened in the room, in the town or in the world that day will almost certainly be in the show. So, I?ll try to keep it to a decent length, but it could so easily end up as an evening and part of the next day.
