Daniel Kitson
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.
Daniel Kitson is to host his own morning radio show.
On weekdays from 8 May* to 25 May comedian Kitson will be broadcasting from 7am to 9am on Resonance 104.4 FM central London, DAB digital radio in Greater London, on-line via Radioplayer.
The following information has been released regarding the show:
"A Reason To Wake Up
For just under three weeks in May, Daniel Kitson will wake up at 6
We here at Beyond The Joke know what a reticent, publicity-shy figure Daniel Kitson is and how he likes to portray himself as the bullet-proof hard man of stand-up comedy. However a story has come to our attention that we cannot resist passing on, which rather undercuts this image of the self-styled D-Dog.
Update: DK decided to make this available to rent, not buy. Here's his reasoning via his newsletter: "I have decided to put the film of It's Always Right Now Until It's Later on my website. It's available to rent for 72 hours for 3 quid. I initially set the page up as a pre order without (or so i thought) any working link to it on my website and hidden from searches. The idea being that i spend some time considering whether i wanted to release it.
Legendary publicity-shy comedian Daniel Kitson is planning a national tour of the Christmas-themed show he did at the Battersea Arts Centre a few years ago.
The dates will be in December when he returns from performing a new show, A Short Series Of Disagreements Presented Here In Chronological Order, in Washington DC for the first time. Tickets here.
Daniel Kitson is doing a series of work-in-progress shows at Battersea Arts Centre.
The run, from October 5 - 24, is a dry run for a new show he is taking to Washington later this year entitled A Short Series of Disagreements Presented Here in Chronological Order. The idea at the moment is that the show takes the form of a story told through a series of disagreements.
This follows his ambitious new show Something Other Than Everything at the Roundhouse and Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre.
Editor's note: Journalist Nosheen Iqbal wrote an opinion piece in the Guardian headlined "Daniel Kitson can’t reclaim a racist word he’s never been the target of." The piece prompted considerable debate on social media among other comedians. Here stand-up Paul Sinha expands upon his issues with the article.
Daniel Kitson, Mark Thomas, Josie Long, Jeremy Hardy, Imran Yusuf and Haydon Prowse are to play a fundraising gig in aid of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
The one-off show will take place at Battersea Arts Centre next Monday, June 19. More acts are to be confirmed.
All proceeds from the event will go to the Grenfell Tower Appeal, coordinated by the Kensington & Chelsea Foundation.
Daniel Kitson is to debut a new stand up show at the Roundhouse in London this summer. It is called Something Other Than Everything.
He announced the news in his mail-out and I don't think he is very keen on press quoting his emails (or press in general) so we will simply repeat the official Roundhouse "blurb".
Daniel Kitson is doing two major benefit gigs next month at the Union Chapel in London and has also announced via his mailing list that he is releasing one of his old shows through bandcamp.
