Steel in town

Star of Radio 4’s ‘Mark Steel’s in Town’ and newspaper columnist of the year Mark Steel will be coming to Much Wenlock in March. Now touring with his new show, ‘Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright’, Mark is guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it is.

“A few years ago, it seemed unlikely that the UK would vote to leave the EU; we had a reasonable opposition to the Tory Government; Donald Trump was a buffoon who surely wasn’t going to beat Hillary Clinton and Mark was living the married suburban ideal, since then it’s all gone to absolute ****!” – but don’t worry as Mark thinks it’s ‘gonna be alright’.

A regular on BBC One’s Have I Got News for You and Radio 4’s ‘The News Quiz’, he’s also appeared on BBC2’s QI, Room 101 and writes a weekly column for The Independent. Mark will be at the Edge Arts Centre, Much Wenlock on Thursday 12 March. Tickets are priced at £15; call 0333 666 3366 or visit edgeartscentre.com for details.
