Inverness
Mark Steel visits Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, performing a bespoke stand-up show for the residents. From 2017.
Mark visits Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland.
Inverness is the 2nd happiest place in Britain, according to some polls, but Mark finds them to be a bit grumpy if the truth be known... some of them anyway... some of them are marvellous.
He meets Sheena from the local taxi firm who tells a story about a fib she told to a tourist, and he meets Steve the Nessie Hunter, a man who has lived in a van on the shores of Loch Ness for 26 years.
Mark Steele's award-winning series travels around the country visiting towns that have nothing in common but their uniqueness.
After thoroughly researching each town, Mark writes and performs a bespoke evening of comedy for the local residents.
Written and performed by Mark Steel.
Additional material by Pete Sinclair.
