Daniel Kitson 2018

[Ptyx]

Okay, I've d-l-ed it as well. To hell with Kitson's arcane information policy. :P

[buntyman]

When you say you've downloaded it, do you mean for a finite amount of time?

[Ptyx]

No, you can download the mp4. It's really simple.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's onto you.

[Ptyx]

Yes, I just read it. Is he here, lurking in some corner under a nom de plume? But really, my understanding is limited. His non-British fans who cannot attend his shows and only know him from his recordings are kind of left in the rain. I have a bad, half-audible recording of Stories for the Wobbly Hearted and am in the process of slowly transcribing it like an idiot, so that at least I might read it.

[Danger Man]

Yes, I just read it. Is he here, lurking in some corner under a nom de plume?

Yes. He's on here as Kitson

[hermitical]

well I originally paid to own it before he moved the goalposts....

[Wet Blanket]

Yes. He's on here as Kitson

He never plays Hull anymore, is that as punishment for whoever made that bootleg?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think that's still my favourite of his storytelling shows - feels like the most relatable.

My first Kitson show was It's Always Right Now Until It's Later, thought it was great but I still think the balance between story and comedy of 66A (which I haven't seen in person) is a much better show overall.

I like his reasoning for making it a rental (assume someone's linked the email above?). He's not wrong, I still haven't watched Carpet Remnant World or Limmy's Show season 3, fuck knows when I bought them.

[Crabwalk]

This was the best work-in-progress show I've ever seen - and the first time I experienced Mr Kitson live - but I never saw the full show. I've made the order and will watch it tomorrow evening PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT DOWN IN THE MEANTIME DANIEL I'M SURE THAT GUY WAS KIDDING WHEN HE SAID HE'D DOWNLOADED IT HA HA

Battersea Arts Centre benefit compered by Kitson in January 2019.

Booking is open and he does't seem to have announced it via e-mail yet, so a perfect chance to beat the rush if you usually struggle with Kitson tickets. You will have to sit through Nish Kumar though.

Wow! 5 nights in Hebden Bridge! I can cycle home from that... So tempted to do all 5 nights.

Hello.

This is going to be very quick because I am already running late actually.

Okay.

So.

I'm doing a few shows at the Bill Murray in London and a little run at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge.  Also, whilst I've got you, there's a benefit or two.

Here. We. Blinking. Well. Go.

So, the shows at the Bill Murray and the Trades Club are called "Daniel Kitson Will Do Something" and are best described by this blurb:

Not really work in progress. Just something to do.

With "nothing" to "very little" in the way of material or ideas Daniel Kitson is getting out of the house, Staying loose, Ticking over, Keeping his eye in, Strengthening his core and putting some Shape in the Day. It will mainly be talking although there will almost certainly be some pauses and possibly a bit of absent minded chanting.  He may also, introduce one or more others to participate in nascent skits or fill time with their own thoughts and feelings but will more than likely be alone on stage. Talking, pausing and chanting. 

Less like the first steps on a creative journey and more like someone rummaging through cupboards and making a pile of stuff for the charity shop.

Here are the dates for the Bill Murray:

April
Sunday 8th - 1pm
Monday 9th – 10.30pm
Thursday 12th - 6pm

May
Monday 7th  1pm.
Tuesday 8th  – 9.30pm
Monday 14th – 6 pm
Sunday 20th – 1pm
Sunday 27th - 1pm

Tickets go on sale today at 2pm with 20 held back for release at noon on the day of each show. Tickets for these are 3 pounds for April and 5 pounds for May, that's not an accident and there's no such thing as a bargain, bear that in mind.

Tickets will be available here - https://www.angelcomedy.co.uk/whats-on/


Here are the dates for the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge:

April 29th – May 3rd – 8pm.

Tickets are 5 pounds and If you live in the vicinity of Hebden Bridge and you've never been to the Trades Club, I really recommend it. I went there recently to watch Richard Dawson and I BLOODY LOVED IT. Hence me disgracing its name and heritage with five nights of frustratingly self indulgent flim flam. So, actually, maybe go and see something else there instead but if you do come to these, at the very least it'll be a lovely room to be annoyed in.

You can get tickets at this link from noon on Monday 9th of April.

And obviously there's a benefit coming up because I'm still trying to balance the books, soul wise.

All Hands and Hearts at Up The Creek on May 15th.

Im compering this, there's James Acaster, Annie Mcgrath, Joel Dommett and Ed Gamble on the bill, tickets are 15 quid and you get them and more information about the charity (which does disaster relief) here:

Finally you can still rent the film of It's Always Right Now Until its Later or buy various Audio recordings of shows by going here  -

http://www.danielkitson.com/recordings.html

Three people rented the film yesterday.

In the whole world.

Three.

(3).

T.h.r.e.e.

Good on them.

Right that's it.



GOODBYE FOREVER.

Going to one of the may shows. Although if he announces a proper run before that I'll wait for it instead and give those tickets away. Kinda regret going to two WIPs of his last year instead of just waiting for the show. Was very  good but killed my enthusiasm for seeing the finished product.

[holyzombiejesus]

Hebden Bridge was sold out after about half an hour. Managed to get tickets online for the Tuesday and Wednesday and my wife went down and got me some for Thursday, so quite pleased although would have preferred a Sunday ticket rather than the Wednesday one. Greedy little piggy.

The exponentially growing ardour of Kitson's fanbase is such a boon for him (and terrible for everyone else). Anyone who sees him for the first time will usually want to see him again at the earliest opportunity, so if you introduce one new person to him you're just reducing your own chances of getting a ticket in future.

It's the perception of scarcity too. Just recently I bought a ticket to see Hamilton for the second time because my brain told me if I didn't I might never see it again. What other comedian would prompt people to buy tickets to him 10, 20 or 100 times?

He should really start a membership scheme so his work gets a wider audience rather than the regular fanboys. You'd get a unique ID linked to your bank card and be limited to something like four tickets per show. It might stop the greedy little piggies at least! ;)

[The Duck Man]

Bah, working overnights and despite mulling this morning who I'd ask to get me some tickets, I'd forgotten about it by the time I got home and my head hit the pillow. Shame, as it's a good excuse to pop up to Hebden Bridge, which is rather lovely.

Three lots? You git. I bet a few people have snapped up a few lots of tickets and won't bother showing up on one night or the other.

Wish he'd charge more than a fiver.

I'm just bitter because I didn't remember to check the website until 3.

[holyzombiejesus]

So, 3 nights to go until the first of the Hebden Bridge shows. Anyone going/ selling/ turning up in the blind hope of grabbing a return?

Me? Y N Y.

He's only bleedin' doing a show at my workplace in a week's time, in't 'e?  Can't really miss that buggoh.

As I live in a different time zone now, it will be rather difficult to hear this show (which starts tomorrow morning). Anyone planning to listen?

[holyzombiejesus]

Doesn't start til tomorrow (Tuesday).

I managed to get to 3 of the Hebden Bridge shows in the end. The bulk of each evening was taken up him talking about some builders he'd employed to make a wall in his garden. Obviously for a work in progress show it was quite rambling and on my 2nd night, he asked who had been to a previous show. I put my hand up and when he asked me what I'd thought of the story, I said that it didn't really work. He then turned on me! He compared me to Hitler and made me move seats so I wasn't in his eyeline with my "judgmental face". It was great and I can't believe how amazing it was just to be able to cycle down the Halifax Road and go to see DK. Hebden felt a bit greyer when he went home.

Don't know what you're talking about, you sound like a crazy person.

I was there that night! I wondered if that might have been you. Some very enjoyable interactions came out of that so thank you for your participation! He asked my friend about her yellow T-shirt, but nothing much came out of it, except that he mused over whether there was any comedic potential in the wearing of old T-shirts with slogans on that people ask you about, but because you've been wearing them for so long, you'd stopped thinking about the meaning of. (What an excellent sentence.)

Oh, I'd also been at Yo La Tengo, but I didn't put my hand up. Didn't want any trouble, like.

May I recommend streamWriter?

[mrfridge]

Does anyone know the URL for the Resonance live stream? Not for the website, I mean the actual stream itself. The stream/player opens in a separate window when I click 'Play' and I can't seem to find a URL.

If I can get the URL I should be able to record the shows from tomorrow onwards. I missed todays unfortunately, did anyone else manage to 'get' it?

[hermitical]

this worked for me on streamWriter:

[mrfridge]

Great thanks.

I take it you managed to record today's show then? Any chance of sharing it if so?!
