AN EVENING AND A LITTLE BIT OF A MORNING WITH MARK STEEL(14+)

Nos Wener 14 Ebrill | Friday 14 April 8.00pm

£17

Mae cymaint i weiddi amdano. I gychwyn, dyna i chi’r byd modern, lle rydych chi’n treulio cymaint o amser yn ceisio deall iTunes, mae hi’n haws ffurfio band a dysgu’r caneuon. Ond mae cymaint hefyd i wirioni ag ef. Fel y ffaith bod pawb yn Northampton yn gwybod am yr arwydd sy’n dweud ‘Family Planning Advice – Use

Rear Entrance’. Ac yna mae’r stori wallgo’ am fy magwraeth i ar stryd dosbarth gweithiol yng Nghaint, ac yna darganfod bod fy nhad naturiol yn chwaraewr backgammon ac yn filiwnydd a oedd yn ffrindiau gorau gyda’r Arglwydd Lucan. A stand-yp yw hwn, felly bydd beth bynnag sydd wedi digwydd yn yr ystafell, yn y dref neu yn y byd y diwrnod hwnnw, bron yn sicr yn rhan o’r sioe. Felly, bydda i’n ceisio cadw hyd y sioe yn weddol, ond gallai para am noson gyfan a rhan o’r diwrnod wedyn yn rhwydd.Pleidleisiwyd Mark Steel’s in Town, sydd wedi derbyn canmoliaeth y beirniaid, y 6ed comedi radio orau erioed, ac mae Mark yn ymddangos yn rheolaidd ar Have I Got News For You y BBC, QI a News Quiz BBCR4. Mae wedi cael ei enwi’n golofnydd papur newydd y flwyddyn ac mae’n awdur y llyfr sain gwobrwyedig Who Do I Think I Am.

There is so much to yell about. There’s the modern world in which you spend so long trying to work out iTunes, that it’s easier to form a band and learn the songs. But there’s also so much to be delighted with. Like the fact that everyone in Northampton knows the sign that says ‘Family Planning Advice – Use Rear Entrance’. Then there’s the crazy story of being brought up in a working-class street in Kent, to discover my natural father was a millionaire backgammon player who was best mates with Lord Lucan. And this is stand-up, so whatever has happened in the room, in the town or in the world that day will almost certainly be in the show. So, I’ll try to keep it to a decent length, but it could so easily end up as an evening and part of the next day. The critically acclaimed Mark Steel’s in Town was voted the 6th best radio comedy ever and Mark is a regular on the BBC’s Have I Got News For You, QI and BBCR4’s News Quiz. He has been named newspaper columnist of the year and is author of the award-winning audiobook Who Do I Think I Am.
