CloseCommentator and stand-up comedian Mark Steel has presented several radio and television programmes including The Mark Steel Solution (Radio 4) and The Mark Steel Lectures (BBC2), and has appeared on Have I Got News For You, QI and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He writes a weekly column for the Independent newspaper and is a regular on Radio 4’s Loose Ends and The News Quiz.
Following the publication of his latest book What’s Going On?: The Meanderings of a Comic Mind in Confusion, Mark brings his brilliant comic musings to Warwick Arts Centre.
The tour will bring in an element of his popular Radio 4 comedy show In Town. Mark will write material shedding light on the quirkiness and interesting aspects of every town and city he visits, allowing each show to be unique.
For example in the North Yorkshire farming town of Skipton, he told the audience I’d seen a sign for Keighley, and wondered whether that was Skipton’s rival town. It went chillingly quiet and one woman called out with calm menace “Keighley – is a sink of evil”.
“He’s a man with a passionate desire to communicate his ideas, who is also very funny.” The Guardian
