Brighton
Comedian Mark Steel visits Brighton, with a special, Covid-friendly outdoor show on the beach. From November 2020.
Mark Steel kicks off a short series recorded during the coronavirus pandemic.
For the first ever outdoor Mark Steel's In Town episode - and BBC Radio 4 Comedy's first ever COVID-friendly audience show - what better place to start than on the beach in Brighton?
The town is famous for its pavilion, piers and progressive nature as well as for being the playground of George, Prince Regent
But Mark is performing on the pebbles, accompanied by the sound of the waves, with a busy zip-wire ride and squawking seagulls overhead.
It's a first for the show but a completely normal day in life of Brighton's locals.
Written and performed by Mark Steel.
Additional material by Pete Sinclair.
Production co-ordinator: Beverly Tagg
Sound Manager: Jerry Peal
Producer: Carl Cooper
A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in November 2020.
