BAFTA-award-nominated comedian Mark Steel is on tour this autumn with a brand new show, “What’s Going On?” and he’ll be bringing it to The Courtyard on Saturday.
Bitingly funny, poignant, sharply observed and very much of the moment, Mark Steel’s new show goes right to the heart of Britain and the problems it suffers today.
Topics discussed and dissected in the inimitable Mark Steel style include why more than one million people marching in London couldn’t stop the war in Iraq, and why supermarkets are killing the small town centres of Britain.
In the confusion of modern times, Mark asks “What exactly are we supposed to do about it?”
Mark Steel has performed as a stand-up comedian on the British comedy circuit and on national tours since 1983. He has also written and performed four series of The Mark Steel Solution (Radio 4) and four series of The Mark Steel Lectures (Radio 4) – a collection of absorbing, half-hour profiles of historical figures. The television version of The Mark Steel Lectures ran for three series on BBC4 and was nominated for both a BAFTA Television Award and a Royal Television Society Award.
Subversive, witty and erudite, Steel is also an acclaimed author and regular columnist for The Independent.
Mark Steel at The Courytard on Saturday at 8pm. To book, call 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk
