Mark Steel: The Leopard In My House

Mark’s sell-out show, Who Do I Think I Am, revealed his natural father was a world backgammon champion. Now the star of Radio 4’s Mark Steel’s in Town is touring a show which is guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it is. 

A few years ago, it seemed unlikely that the UK would vote to leave the EU; we had a reasonable opposition to the Tory Government; Donald Trump was a buffoon who surely wasn’t going to beat Hillary Clinton and Mark was living the married suburban ideal. Since then it’s all gone to pot! But don’t worry as Mark thinks Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright.

Mark Steel has performed as a stand-up comedian on the British comedy circuit and on national tours since 1983. For Radio 4, he has written and performed The Mark Steel Solution and has appeared on various panel shows like Have I Got News For You and QI. 

The comedian has also written for the Socialist Worker, the Guardian, and the Independent, the latter garnering him the accolade of Columnist of the Year in 2015, as well as critically acclaimed books such as Reasons To Be Cheerful and What's Going On.
