Mark Steel - The Leopard in my House

"The consultant had told me he was confident I had throat cancer that had spread into the lymph glands.

Joyfully, I held his hand, and looked up to the heavens like a South American footballer after scoring a goal.

It was one of the happiest moments of my life."Join 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.

The Leopard in My House is proof that this leftie, working-class, Radio 4 favourite truly deserves his place in the UK comedy pantheon.Mark Steel is best known for his critically-acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel's in Town (now in its 13th series), as well as his hit podcast What The F★★★ Is Going On.?.

He 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 an adaptation of his critically acclaimed stand-up show Who Do I Think I Am? for Audible.
