Mark Steel: Who Do I Think I Am - Thurs 3rd November 2016

***** The Mirror ‘Interesting, engaging and funny’

What a night of class comedy in the Byre when Mark Steel brought his latest show, Who Do I Think I Am to Inchyra. This was a comedy tour de force as Mark kept the audience in rapt attention from kick off at just gone 8pm until the end of a rapturously received encore at nearly 11! 

"It never really bothered me that I’d never met my mum.  It never occurred to me I needed to meet her to ‘find out who I was’, as it didn’t seem likely I’d discover I was someone different to who I thought I was. Could it turn out I was three stone lighter than I thought, or I spoke Italian or supported Arsenal or had a fear of Liquorice Allsorts?  But after the birth of my own son, I realised it’s quite an event to have a child, and she may well remember giving birth to me, and maybe even the adoption."

**** The Guardian ‘he has got an amazing tale to tell’

**** The Independent ‘essential viewing’
