Hobgoblin Cheltenham Comedy Festival: Back In Town
The 'Mark Steel's in Town' show, based on the Radio 4 series in which I write a show centred around each town, has now been to at least 5 million places. It's a sparkling verdict on humanity that I've mocked them all and somehow am still alive.
I've stood behind a Londoner on a cliff in Dorset, who said to his wife "That lighthouse is getting on my bloody wick." I've seen rivalries such as that in Corby, when I thanked a librarian for finding me a book and she replied 'Yes, because here we're not like those miserable arses from Kettering'.
For this show I've found dozens more towns to humiliate, as well as pledging to discover what makes your own town ridiculous.
As well as Mark Steel's In Town, Mark has presented the BAFTA nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC2, is a regular on BBC One's Have I Got News For You and Radio 4's Newsquiz. He's written several, acclaimed books, including: Reasons To Be Cheerful and What's Going On and he writes a weekly column for The Independent.
