Daniel Kitson announces spring tour

Daniel Kitson is going back on tour with a new show.

After The Beginning, Before The End starts in Liverpool on 8 May and ends in June, with plenty of northern dates scheduled, including Leeds, Manchester, Durham and Harrowgate.

Kitson announced the news to his mailing list this morning, writing: “I’ve been waiting to have the idea for this show for weeks, for months…

“Then today, somewhere between East London and South London – it arrived. The Idea. Just like that. Like a child, late home from school, oblivious to the worry and the panic and the phone calls. It just walked in and sat down like it wasn’t even a big deal.

“Two hours ago I didn’t have the idea. Now I do. And it’s going to be good.”

Kitson also confirmed he probably won’t be appearing at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, instead focusing on residencies in Manchester, London and New York.
