Mark Steel continues his tour of six more UK towns as he performs for the residents of Douglas on the Isle of Man.
His bespoke stand-up show covers space travel, fairy bridges and the mystery - or otherwise - of Gef the Talking Mongoose.
As well as shedding light on less visited areas, Mark uncovers stories and experiences that resonate with us all as we recognise the quirkiness of the British way of life and the rich tapestry of remarkable events and people who have shaped where we live.
Written by Mark Steel with additional material by Pete Sinclair.
