Mark Steel's stand-up show about the state of the world, based on his BBC Radio 4 series, part of his 2027 live comedy tour.
Mark Steel brings his new show, What The F Is Going On?*, to the Connaught Theatre** on Friday 19 March 2027. It's part of his 2027 live comedy tour, and the title pretty much tells you where he's heading: the state of the world.
If you've heard of his BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel's In Town, you'll know the format. In that one, he takes a town and tries to explain simply and plainly how it works. This show does the same thing, but on a much larger scale. Instead of one town, he's tackling the whole world, and he describes the process as calmly and gently yelling in exasperation at the 'crazy fruitbat bonkers eruptions of infuriating insanity' that seem to be blasting in every direction. The aim is that by the end it all makes sense and the audience can relax.
It's a brand-new show, so you'll be seeing the material fresh rather than a run-through of old bits. Steel is the sole name on the bill, so it's just him on stage for the full set. One thing to keep in mind before you book: it's strictly for ages 14 and over, because of the swearing and adult content. If you're bringing anyone younger, this isn't the one.

The show starts at 7:30pm and runs for 150 minutes, so it's a proper evening's worth of comedy rather than a quick hour. Tickets start from £25.75.
