Mark Steel's In Town

As part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Mark performs at the BBC's venue at Potterow to talk about the city's district of Leith, taking tales from the history, highways, and Hibs legends - not to mention the port workers, pub fights, and poetry that make up this unique corner of Scotland's capital.

Mark uncovers the stories and characters that make up Leith in Edinburgh, in this special one-off episode of the award winning stand-up comedy show, Mark Steel's in Town.

As attention focuses on the Edinburgh festival, Mark Steel immerses himself in one of Edinburgh's lesser-known districts. Taking tales from the history, highways, and Hibs legends - not to mention the port workers, pub fights, and poetry that make up this unique corner of Scotland's capital - Mark delivers a half hour of stand-up comedy about Leith in front of an audience of born and bred Leithers.

The programme was recorded at the BBC's Potterow at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2012.
