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.

Hi Lauren, the workshop was planned for a Saturday so that it would be accessible to most families. That's unfortunate your neice has school that day, but I'm afraid they will only be on 17 December.

Hi there, I would love to take my niece to the Hansel and Gretel Family Workshop and then the performance but as she 8 years old, she has school that day. Would there be any evening family workshops prior to the evening performance? Thanks, Lauren

Let us hope that not TOO many legs get broken and that the anticipated success of the piano-accompanied performances will lead to further performances in larger houses! GO FOR IT SCOTTISH OPERA!!

Would it be possible to book 25 tickets tentatively for a group of school pupils, please? They don't return until Wednesday and I can only estimate numbers who will wish to go. This number includes 3 staff tickets. Thank you.

What a real and touching story. Absent friends. Every New Year we drink a toast to our loved ones now gone but never forgotten. I hope this story is picked and even if only in our memories all the audience will enjoy being reminded of their own dear departed that still shine in our hearts.

My Christmas story begins when I was a baby. I am the 13th child in my family. My Dad brought us up cos my Mum died of cancer when i was 13 months old. The Christmas before she died was spent in hospital. My Dad and 10 of my siblings took the bus on Christmas Day across Glasgow to see my dying Mum. Me and My twin where kept in hospital cos my Dad could not cope cope with 2 tiny twin babies & 10 kids. On that day we where brought to my Mums bed and we all spent Christmas together as a family. It got to 10.30pm and my Dad realised that there would be no buses or trains running. He said he began 2 panic. How would he get 10 kids home? he would have to phone at least 3 taxis a expense he could not afford. So he tried a couple of taxi firms, None could help? He said he was at his wits end.Praying for a miracle He tried the last Taxi number he had, The Lady who took his call listen to My Dad"s story about his dying wife and 12 kids. 10 of which he needed to get home. The Lady Was an Angel sent by God. Because her husband owned the Taxi firm, And instead of 3 Taxis She sent her Husband in a limo to take my family home and did"nt charge my Dad a penny! Christmas Dinner was toast and beans but It was the best Christmas ever cos it was the last one we had with my Mum. She died two month later. My Dad died when I was 22 and I miss him terrible. He was an outstanding Man, And i am so proud that i was his Daughter.Good night Godbless Dad i love & miss you.Love SarahXXXXXXXXXXXX

As a teacher at St Roch's I thought the drama was fantastic. It was an ideal length and touched on issues important and relevant to our young people with humour and sensitivity.
