Mark Steel

Bude Lit Fest is delighted to welcome back the multi award-winning, BAFTA-nominated writer and comedian Mark Steel for his new tour The Leopard in My House.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.Best known for his critically-acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel's in Town, The Leopard in My House is proof that this leftie, working-class, Radio 4 favourite truly deserves his place in the UK comedy pantheon.
