Published: 13 Oct Edinburgh festival comedy review — heckling iPods, improv ballads and feminist rap. Published: 16 Aug Daniel Kitson's Polyphony: Edinburgh festival review — vastly entertaining 4 out of 5 stars. Kitson plays neatly on his Eeyore-ish personality in a cunningly crafted show about loneliness in which audience members use iPod Shuffles.
Published: 10 Aug Kitson was 24 at the time, with eight years of stand-up already behind him, but he was still a little wet behind the ears when it came to fitting in to the comedy world. He knew what he did and didn't want, however.
And what his first show, Love Innocence and the Word Cock made plain to the multi-million pound drinks sponsor was he didn't approve of corporate sponsorship in comedy. Gotta love a rebel. What sets Kitson apart, however, is that he's stuck to his principles even when lucrative offers flood in. He's concentrated on honing his stage craft instead. Maybe he was scarred by his appearance on Blockbusters as a child, but he has a reputation for shunning the limelight and TV time.
You probably saw him as Spencer in Phoenix Nights though. That experience scarred him for life as well. He is attractively modest and offers everyone the opportunity to leave if they so desire. Rumpled, with a beard, in jeans, he has a zest for life which is infectious despite his occasional protestations to the contrary.
Besides reading from the cards, he offers epiphanies about life and love. On love: he recommends falling in love with someone who is already sad. The audience was highly amused and went out into the chilly night laughing and talking. Edinburgh Fringe As of 1. Edinburgh Fringe Free Gaza! Edinburgh Fringe Polyphony.
