AWARD-winning newspaper columnist and BBC Radio 4 presenter Mark Steel brings his UK touring show Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright to Melksham Assembly Hall tonight (Friday May 10) from 8pm.

His previous sell-out show Who Do I Think I Am revealed that his natural father was a world backgammon champion.

The star of Radio 4’s Mark Steel’s in Town, and Newspaper Columnist of the Year in 2015 for a national newspaper, Mr Steel is back on the road with a new show which he says is ‘guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it is’.

He has written and presented many series of Mark Steel’s In Town on BBC Radio 4, with a new series out soon, 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.

Mr Steel 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.

He writes a weekly column for The Independent – for which he won Columnist of the Year at the Press Awards in 2015.
