Daniel Kitson premieres new show in Manchester

Daniel Kitson will premiere a new show in Manchester this September.

Kitson has been booked for a 10-night residency at the Royal Exchange Theatre, starting on Wednesday 11 September, for an as-yet untitled show.

Tickets are £12.

According to the venue’s website, the show is due to run until Saturday 21 September – then Kitson will likely tour in the spring.

He told newsletter subscribers: “I will not be in Edinburgh this year for the festival – I will be writing a new show to premiere in Manchester at the Royal Exchange in September.

“To be honest, I have barely started work on it and the details are very vague.

“This isn’t clever marketing, I’ve just been busy with other things.

“I have some notes and ideas that I intend to crack into tomorrow morning.”

Kitson will also appear at Latitude Festival this weekend, with three performances in the pipeline.

Daniel Kitson’s residency at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, runs 11-21 September (not including 16 September). Tickets are £12 for adults, or £10 for concessions. Click for more information.
