What’s Going On?
Taking the theme of his brilliant book ‘What’s Going On?’, BAFTA award nominated comedian Mark Steel is back on tour this spring with a brand new show.
Upon entering his forties, Mark's personal life began to disintegrate. Spending many sleepless nights on the sofa, watching inane cable TV into the early hours of the morning, Mark asked himself the question, 'What’s Going On?'. Mark’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 over a 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?’ Bitingly funny, poignant, sharply observed and very much of the moment, this is Mark Steel at his brilliantly intelligent best.
