A unique mixture of yearning pedantry, whimsical opinion, joyous swearing, childish giggling and clumsy shuffling, his comedy desperately wants to be art. Daniel is doing all he can to help, while trying to hide from audiences, critics and any sort of tangible success.

Interested more than anything in building up a body of work, Daniel is constantly battling to balance integrity with a genuine love of shiny silver gadgets. When he isn't playing UK shows or collecting such trinkets, he goes and does other stuff in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hull.

Wilfully untrendy, with just a hint of the reactionary about him, Daniel Kitson presents a persona which is bewildered and angered by the realities of our harsh world, but is just too damn socially inept to do anything about it.

However, let any heckler try and crush this apparent shrinking violet and out can come the most delicious of man-traps. Conversely, Kitson is also prince of the profanity - he can heap a pile of venomous putdowns upon any unwary heckler. In this mode, he's a pitbull disguised as a fluffy push-along doggy.
