Eddie Izzard to play Latitude 2013
Eddie Izzard will play this year’s Latitude Festival, organisers have announced.
In a break from his current arena tour, Izzard will join up with Nina Conti, Richard Herring, Rubberbandits, Birthday Girls [formerly Lady Garden] and So On And So Forth, who have today been announced to play the festival.
Earlier this year, Latitude announced yet another star-studded comedy line-up, including Sean Lock, Dylan Moran, Tim Key and Daniel Kitson.
Kitson is full of busy at Latitude this summer, bringing six performances over four different stages.
In the Theatre Arena he will present two performances of his current tour show After the Beginning, Before the End.
The same venue will also play host to the first previews of a brand new theatrical work.
Meanwhile, the Poetry Arena will see Kitson joining forces with musician Gavin Osborn for a one off performance of Lucinda Ding and the Monstrous Thing, a forty five minute adventure poem ballad thing from the long-time collaborators.
Finally, the Film & Music Arena will host the first ever public screening of It’s Always Right Now, Until It’s Later, a concert film of the show by the same name recorded last summer in Manchester and followed here by a Q&A session with Kitson and the film maker, Ewan Jones Morris.
