Â鶹Éç

Mark Steel’s award-winning show where he travels around the UK visiting towns with nothing in common but their uniqueness.

After thoroughly researching each town, Mark writes and performs a bespoke evening of comedy for a local audience.

“...a place where all the baristas know your name ... "

Next stop, Mark is in Nether Edge, a leafy suburb of Sheffield which wants to become a village.

Here he samples the local honey, visits the local shops and cafes, a rum keg - and the bowl's club that once threw out Ronnie Wood for inappropriate behaviour.

He also talks to the passionate locals about a campaign by the council to make the area less leafy by cutting down half of the trees.

Written and performed by Mark Steel.

Additional material by Pete Sinclair.

Producer: Carl Cooper

A Â鶹Éç Studios Audio production for Â鶹Éç Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2024.
