Award-winning writer and broadcaster Mark Steel is stopping off at the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury, on Friday, 18th February, as part of his latest UK tour.

Not long ago, it seemed highly unlikely 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 pear-shaped! But don't worry, as Mark thinks Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright.

Mark's sell-out show Who Do I Think I Am revealed that his natural father was a world backgammon champion. Now the star of Radio 4's Mark Steel's in Town, and newspaper columnist of the year, is back on the road with a new show that is guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it really is.

Mark has written and presented many series of Mark Steel's In Town on BBC Radio 4 and toured it live around the UK.

He has presented the BAFTA-nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC2, and is a regular on BBC One's Have I Got News For You and Radio 4's The News Quiz.

Mark has also appeared on BBC2's QI and Room 101. He has written several acclaimed books, including Reasons To Be Cheerful and What's Going On, and writes a weekly column for The Independent - for which he won Columnist of the Year at the Press Awards in 2015.
