Daniel Kitson has announced that he will be doing a run of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.

The enigmatic comedian who seems to prefer not to do interviews with the press and who does not employ a publicist or a manager announced the news on his mailing list. 

The comedy maverick will be appearing at the Stand at midnight for the whole festival except Fridays and Saturdays as is usually the case with Kitson and doing a 90-minute show.

The show will be called Good for Glue and here is the blurb.
 
"Because he's an idiot, in thrall to his own imagined past, Daniel Kitson (41) has decided to perform an unfinished show that starts at Midnight in a venue that gets debilitatingly hot and doesn't really have enough chairs. In terms of tone, the closest comparison is probably that bit in Oldboy with the corridor full of baddies and the hammer."

Tickets will be available from the Stand and the Edinburgh Fringe website from July 9 at noon.

He is also doing some shows in Leicester and Nottingham in the run-up. Details below.
