Have you got your recordings sorted now, Jim?

Looks like it, thanks!  I switched computers, and it seems to be working better.  Today's shows are up.

Just when I thought I'd gotten my act together, my recording failed yet again.  Would you mind sharing the full recording as well?

Deepest apologies! Jim - this'll need replacing on your feed too.

Thanks, I have updated it!

Is there possibly a way to get all of this latest batch of radio recordings in one fell swoop?

Using the podcast link that was posted a couple of weeks ago is the best way to do this.

Excited by the new Regents Park show with Gavin Osborn!

Just adding my thanks to both of you for uploading these!

CAB at 7:51am on a Monday, while also broadcasting then.. The last few shows definitely seemed an effort to thwart the edited downloads to me. Popping up during songs a lot more than he usually would. Thank you for the downloads guys, I could only really listen to the first hour, in-between getting a 3 year old ready for nursery.

[buntyman]

Also would like to give my thanks. Haven't listened to many of em yet so got several hours of listening to look forward to. Cheers!

[Lost Oliver]

And me, thank you.

Saw Kitson compère at Up the Creek on Sunday and he was at his absolute most chaotic easily-distracted best, consistently finding gold through crowdwork.

I'd never been to UTC before but was aware of its legendary status as a club and it didn't disappoint- like cross between the Comedy Store and downstairs at the Soho Theatre. It was fun to see Kitson on a traditional mixed bill club night instead of the usual alt nights or charity gigs where Kitson dweebs like myself reside. Greenwich would normally be too far for a Sunday night and so this was a rare opportunity to be among what K-dog correctly termed 'Bank Holiday Cunts'.

I enjoyed hearing punters at the bar in the interval who had no idea who Kitson is and couldn't believe their luck: "That compere is SO FUNNY!"

[rasta-spouse]

Was reading an old thread and someone mentioned that Kitson appeared on the C4 stand-up showcase Gas (1997-1998). Can't find any clips though. Anyone see/confirm this?

[holyzombiejesus]

Hello to one and all.

I hope to Christ you're really well.

This is a quick email to give you a heads up on a flurry of work in progress dates over the next two months and some advance information for Regents Park Open Air theatre tickets.

So me, myself and Gavin Osborn are doing Regents Park Open Air Theatre on Sunday the 7th of July. The show is going to start at 9pm (in order to maximise the magical night time twinkly vibes) and run at 90 minutes or so, straight through (in order to get out of there by the 11pm curfew). Here is the Blurb.


Daniel Kitson and Gavin Osborn – Outside. Again.



There was a time when we came here every year, to sing songs amongst the trees, and tell tales beneath the stars to fill the sky with a bonfire built from laughter and love and joy and wonder.

But that was years ago now.

Back when life was a gathering glory of boundless potential. Back when simplistic sadness felt profound and broken hearts were plot points and death was just a narrative device. Back when a night's sleep could stretch out beyond noon and eating crispy shredded beef after midnight had minimal digestive repercussions the following day. Back before births and deaths and distance and doubt. Before beliefs buckled and hope came to feel facile and pyjamas started to almost always smell at least a little bit of piss.

And yet.

Here we are again.

In the middle of the night in the middle of the summer.

Under the sky.

In a park.

Rummaging in the rubble for something to burn, a forgotten fragment of anything flammable, searching for something to set alight and hold aloft and to fling it, together, once again, out and up into the deepening dark.


Show will include: Sad songs, funny stories, indefensible declarations, crosstalk, technical difficulties, sad stories, moths, funny songs, quite possibly a chant and at least two, standard lamps.

Not bad.

Tickets are twelve pounds (plus 1.80 booking fee) so they're actually 13.80. If you want to be reasonable about it.

General sales open on the 18th of July but tickets will actually go on sale at 11am on the 11th of July to members of the Open Air Theatre and also YOU. I've wangled a promo code for you plonkers to get early access. Please don't whack this code out on social media or anything like that. Just use it. And then burn it.

Here's what to do on the 11th July at 11am.

(1) Click on this link - https://openairtheatre.com/whats-on?by=moreoutdoor

(2) Follow the listing  for me and Gav (which may not be there yet but will be there by then, okay?)

(3) Enter this code DKOAT19 and you'll be able to buy tickets.
 
So that's that. In other news. I've whacked a variety of work in progress shows in over the coming weeks. Initially these will be working towards regents park and thereafter maybe something in Edinburgh. 

Just quickly, the vagueness of my Edinburgh plans is not a marketing scheme or a sneaky ploy or indicative of callous disregard for your spreadsheets, its just not sorted yet and if (or more likely, when) I sort it – I'll boink you an email.

In the meantime – here are the listings of preview shows. There's some in Bristol, lots in London and a couple in Hebden Bridge. You can click on the relevant link below for information about dates and prices and times. Do bear in mind that times vary. Some of the Bill Murray ones are in the afternoon so do double check.

Oh also, the ones at the Bill Murray are called Waggle – because I found it briefly funny to call them that

They should all be on sale now.

So here are the links.


London – Bill Murray  - https://www.angelcomedy.co.uk/daniel-kitson-returns/

Bristol  - Wardrobe Theatre.  -  http://thewardrobetheatre.com/livetheatre/daniel-kitson/

Hebden Bridge – Trades Club - These dates are the 29th and 30th of July and have separate links.
29th July https://thetradesclub.com/events/daniel-kitson 30th July https://thetradesclub.com/events/19272


And that's that.

Good.

Time for some water and a bit or air.

Yum yum yum.


GOODBYE FOREVER


Daniel Kitson.

Well.

With grim inevitability - i made a mistake - regents park tickets go on sale on the 11th of June, not July. The show is on the 7th of July and as many of you have delighted in pointing out selling the tickets after the show is both on brand and makes no sense.

So - for clarity - the tickets for regents park open air theatre go on sale on the 11th of June at 11 am.

Okay?

Thanks for you help, now please leave me alone.


GOODBYE FOREVER

Both nights in Hebden Bridge have sold out although the Trades Club will be selling an additional 50 tickets per night to members, email to be sent out soon. It seemed quite easy to just pay on the night at the residency he did a couple of years ago so that's always an option for those that live locally/ Leeds/ Manchester.

Seeing his first show at the Bill Murray tomorrow. Hopefully he hasn't worked a lot of stuff out and he just fucks around.

Having been to a few super early WIPs of his, this will almost certainly be the case!


Thanks for the post holyzombiejesus, I totally missed the email. Got some tickets for late in the run, really looking forward to seeing one of the Regent's Park shows finally too. Do they have chairs or is it a sit on the floor type deal? What's the deal with rain?
