Latitude 2013: Comedy line-up revealed
Latitude has revealed the full line-up for this year’s festival at Henham Park.
Sean Lock, Russell Kane, Nick Helm, Andrew Maxwell, Mark Thomas, Roisin Conaty, Naz Osmanoglu and Kevin Eldon have all been announced today, joining an already star-studded bill on 18-21 July.
Lock, best known for his TV appearances as team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats, has taken the headline spot on the festival’s poster – alongside 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.
