- Mark_Steel's_in_Town abstract "Mark Steel's in Town is a stand-up comedy show on BBC Radio 4, co-written and performed by Mark Steel. The series, that was first broadcast on 18 March 2009, is recorded in various small towns in the United Kingdom instead of the country's major cities. Each episode is tailored to the town it is recorded in and the show is performed in front of a local audience. The first series of six episodes was recorded in five towns in England (Skipton, Boston, Lewes, Walsall and the Isle of Portland) and one in Wales (Merthyr Tydfil). The second series, also of six episodes and first broadcast on 7 April 2010, was performed in four towns in England (Dartford, Wilmslow, Penzance and Gateshead) and two in Scotland (Dumfries and Kirkwall). The third series of six episodes, broadcast between December 2011 and January 2012, visited four towns in England (Berwick-upon-Tweed, Basingstoke, Wigan and Bungay), one in Wales (Holyhead) and one on the Isle of Man (Douglas). A special episode recording during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe covering Leith was broadcast on 21 August 2012. A fourth series was broadcast between November 2012 and January 2013. In thos series Steel performs in five towns in England (Whitehaven, Handsworth, Ottery St Mary, Corby and Chipping Norton) and one in Scotland (Tobermory). A fifth series, recording between November and December 2013, will be performed in four towns in England (Glastonbury, Southall, Birkenhead and Huddersfield), one in Wales (St. Davids) and one in Northern Ireland (Derry/Londonderry).The programme received positive reviews from critics because of Steel's observations of the locals, and the fact the series took place in multiple locations, compared to the majority of stand-up shows on radio and television, which are normally recorded in one single location. However, some have also criticised the way he has commented on some locations. In 2010 Mark Steel's in Town won a Silver Award for "Best Comedy" in the Sony Radio Academy Awards, and in 2012 it won the Gold Award in the same category. Also in 2010 it won the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award for "Best Radio Comedy / Light Entertainment". In January 2013 the series was voted "Best Radio Entertainment Show" in the Comedy.co.uk Awards held by the British Comedy Guide.".

- Mark_Steel's_in_Town quote ""This programme is stand-up comedy at its very best. Stand-up on radio is immensely challenging – and often unsuccessful but this programme is intelligent and rich in content, well paced and, moreover, funny. Although it is clear that a lot of preparation went into making this programme, the result is fluent, natural and exciting. It was also generous to its audience and to its location – and very much in tune with the sound and appeal of the network."".
