Daniel Kitson is to take his latest show on a tour starting on March 7.

The new show is called Collaborator. In typical enigmatic style Kitson doesn't want to say too much about it in advance but he wrote on his newsletter: " Id (sic) rather you didnt really know too much before you came along but i will say, as shows go, especially my shows - it’s short and its fun - aka the dream. "

Beyond The Joke 'saw' a version of this in Edinburgh and needless to say it's a return to form for maverick genre-straddler Kitson.

The dates are billed as work in progress shows and there will be further shows in Australia and America.

The venue websites say the following: "I dislike audience participation.

I think It’s creatively bankrupt, ethically questionable and if I see it mentioned in the blurb for a show, I will not attend due to moral objections and/or personal discomfort.

Anyway.

I’ve written something about that and it’s got just over 200 parts.

So…

Collaborator was conceived specifically to be performed in the round and is re-written a bit for each particular venue.This will be something between the 4th and 7th staging and maybe the eighth rewrite and,I have to say,it’s getting quite good."
