Mark Steel visits Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.
He's performing at the Winter Gardens, the venue of his first ever gig when he got up and told some jokes in a talent contest on a childhood holiday.

Mark concludes this series of travels around the country visiting towns that have nothing in common but their uniqueness.
