Award-winning comedian Mark Steel brings his tour to Lancaster

Join multi award-winning, BAFTA-nominated writer and comedian Mark Steel at Lancaster Grand on March 27, 2025.

The topic? His battle with throat cancer. A battle he is winning (thankfully) and which only his rapier wit could fashion a comedy tour show out of. Cancer has done nothing to dull Mark's acute political observations or quash his "frankly bonkers" energy: you will laugh, you will cry, but you'll laugh again, and again, and again.

Mark Steel said: “This show is the story of my year, of wonderful characters and often tricky but bafflingly positive experiences. Doing the show doesn’t quite make me glad that it happened, but it definitely makes up for it quite a bit.”

The Leopard in My House is proof that this leftie, working-class, Radio 4 favourite truly deserves his place in the UK comedy pantheon.

Sony and Writers’ Guild Award-winning writer and comedian Mark Steel is best known for his critically acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel’s in Town, which was voted the sixth best radio comedy ever.

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

He has also written several acclaimed books, including: Reasons to be Cheerful and What’s Going On? and has also written an adaptation of his critically acclaimed stand-up show Who Do I Think I Am? for Audible, which was released in 2021.

Mark has been named newspaper columnist of the year, and is the author of the award-winning audiobook Who Do I Think I Am?
