A brand-new comedy festival is coming to south London...
About this Event

Daniel Kitson is working on a new show.

He’s hoping, once again, to make something better than before: really funny, maybe a bit sad, intermittently thought provoking, slightly audacious and, ideally, completely unfathomable.

He started properly thinking about it in the middle of January and it needs to be finished by August. So, that should give you a sense of how far through the process, these particular shows are likely to be – a lot of marble and not much sculpture, essentially.

On the upside, they’ve been priced accordingly and will last no more than 90 minutes.
