Mark Steel’s In Town
Visiting Company
Following his highly acclaimed, Sony Award winning and Writers Guild Award winning Radio 4 comedy show Mark Steel’s In Town, and the publication of a book of the same title, writer and stand-up comedian Mark Steel is back on the road - part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
Bringing an element of Mark Steel’s In Town to each live performance, means 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 - something local audiences up and down the country will devour and enjoy. Mark is committed to performing a routine about the history of every town he’ll perform in. However, he may regret making this promise!
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.

I thoroughly enjoyed the production of the "Divided City" and the positive message it portrayed. It highlighted the importance of seeing the person and being tollerant and accepting of differences. I am a Staff Nurse in a High Dependency Unit that has to deal, all too often, with the victims of racial and sectarian violence. I believe that lives will be saved by educating the young in this way.

I’m sorry I missed this play at the Citizen’s Theatre last week. Are there any plans to stage another production as I’d love to see it.I believe it was a great show.

We saw the play last night and thought it was exhilarating! The cast were superb, particularly the Joes and Grahams! The fact the cast were only slightly older than us made it very impressive. This is a well rehearsed and amazing production, and we would advise anyone who cares about sectarianism in Glasgow to go and see it, to learn more about it.

Hi AM, just realised our response to this never posted. Since the design isn't yet finalsied we can't say for sure, but all indications so far are that it will be reasonably traditional. We doubt there'll be any hoodies and jeans!

Some of the most amazing moments I have ever spent in a theatre were at the Citizens in the 60s and 70s - and some of the best of those were watching David Hayman. Wild horses wouldn't keep me away! Good to see that he doesn't seem to have aged a day - same as me!
