Mark delves into history, people and quirks to work out what makes a place distinctive and unique. He then creates a bespoke stand-up show about it which he performs in front of a local audience.

This time it is the turn of Hastings - and Mark will record the show at St Mary In The Castle on Wednesday October 10 from 7pm.
