Off The Kerb Productions • Professional company

90 minutes•Ballroom
What The F*** Is Going On? In his hit BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel's In Town, Mark tries to explain simply and plainly how each town works. In this brand-new show he'll do the same, but for the state of the world. He'll be calmly and gently yelling in exasperation at the crazy bonkers eruptions of infuriating insanity that blasts in every direction at us all, so that at the end of the show it all makes sense and we can relax in a dreamy sense of well-being.
