Mark Steel is to tour his new stand-up show Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright in 2019.

The promoters say: "Not long ago, it seemed highly unlikely the UK would vote to leave the EU. We had a reasonable opposition to the Tory Government, Donald Trump was a buffoon who surely wasn't going to beat Hilary Clinton, and Mark was living the married suburban ideal. Since then, it's all gone to absolute shit! But don't worry, as Mark thinks 'Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright'."

The new tour follows on from Steel's sell-out show Who Do I Think I Am, which revealed that his natural father was a world backgammon champion.

A new series of Mark Steel's In Town, the comedian's award-winning Radio 4 show in which he performs routines tailored to local areas, will return for its ninth series in early 2019.

Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright starts in Watford in February and is set to run through to 1st June, with the final performance in Worcester.

The tour promoters conclude: "The star of Radio 4's Mark Steel's In Town, and newspaper columnist of the year, Mark is back on the road with a new show that is guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it is."
