Mark Steel: Work in Progress

Mark Steel: Work in Progress tickets in Aylesbury

Mark Steel brings brand-new, unfinished material to the Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury in a work-in-progress stand-up evening. The Sony and Writers' Guild Award-winning comedian tests ideas across two substantial halves with an interval between them.

What to expect on the night

A work-in-progress format means the material is deliberately unrefined. Steel is road-testing new ideas rather than delivering a finished show, so expect rougher edges and the kind of spontaneity a fully rehearsed production rarely offers. The evening runs to around two hours and twenty minutes in total, split into two halves of sixty to seventy minutes each with an interval between them.

Steel is best known for his long-running BBC Radio 4 series Mark Steel's in Town, and appears regularly on Have I Got News for You and The News Quiz. He also presented the BAFTA-nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC Two and has written several books, most recently The Leopard in My House, which draws on his recovery from throat cancer.

Audience considerations

The Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury operates a strict age policy for this event: no one under 14 will be admitted. The listing notes that swearing and adult content are likely, which is worth bearing in mind when booking for younger teenagers.
