	Melbourne 2003: Daniel Kitson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		But Kitson has excellent comic instincts to make the mundane funny - helped by a nifty turn of phrase, a healthy self-deprecation, and the knowledge that it's all from the heart, rather than the I-Spy book of stand-up topics and techniques.
		Indeed, one of his favourite betes noires is comedic laziness, merrily berating fellow performers for their formulaic approach and blatant attempts to ingratiate themselves with audiences.
		Kitson's self-awareness is also a powerful comic device, and a handy get-out clause if he starts getting too pompous.

	Comedian: Daniel Kitson
		Kitson is the perfect antidote to the slick, laddish, sex-and-drugs comics that pervade the circuit.
		It was totally under prepared and when the audience did not laugh at his awful material he resorted to asking us what we did for a living and trying to make a joke out of that.
		Saw Daniel Kitson at the Dancehouse on Saturday and he was as funny and charming as when I last saw him there in 2003.

	BBC - Liverpool Stage
		Kitson had the audience in hysterics, with his meandering delivery and expert dispatching of those foolish enough to heckle.
		Improvisation provided plenty of laughs as Kitson sent an audience member to the noisy bar next door to ask the DJ to turn the music down, then phoned the bar to complain.
		Throughout the 2½ hours of relentlessly funny yet poignant tales, Kitson involved the audience - giving the sense that the gig was genuinely intimate and this was a man doing something he loved.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Wilfully obscure witticisms from a reluctant comic star (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ever since Daniel Kitson scooped the Perrier Award in 2002, at the age of 25, he's been fighting a stubborn battle against mainstream recognition and the integrity-crushing trappings of fame.
		Of course, at this stage the show is transparently a work-in-progress, and Kitson is fully entitled to consult his notes and loiter in mid-flow, but you suspect he'd hate to make it much more polished, or shrink its three-hour running time.
		At its best, the evening makes you feel like Kitson has invited himself in for a casual, mind-expanding chat; at its worst, it turns him into that friend who loiters for ages on the doorstep, unable to leave, and who's in far greater need of affirmation than he lets on.

		Daniel is certainly gifted at making the most out of his weaknesses.

		On top of Daniel Kitson's fridge sits a fat silver bottle on a plinth, brown and tarnished in the sunlight.
		Kitson tends to laugh away his anxieties, but with less than a week to go, he admits some concern about whether the new show, A Made-Up Story, staged at a new venue away from the main comedy arena, will even sell.
		Kitson narrates over a series of stills and video images that he has filmed in his neighbourhood of Crystal Palace, and he is in the process of putting together a soundtrack.

		Daniel has an unpretentious disposition and manages to charm his audience effortlessly.
		It will be interesting to see how Daniel develops, I hope he doesn't turn into an "angry young man" comedian or a characture of himself, there were a few hints of Alan Partridge about his performance which he needs to keep an eye on.
		All in all, Daniel Kitson is a star very much on the way up.

		DANIEL KITSON may have won this year’s Perrier Award but that didn’t stop him from making good-natured joke about comedy prizes.
		Reading from a prepared speech, Kitson said he was grateful for the award and thanked his parents "for never insisting I get a proper job".
		Kitson scooped £7500 and comedy’s most prestigious award at a ceremony held at Edinburgh’s College Of Art on Saturday Night.

		Daniel Kitson, 25, from Denby Dale in Yorkshire, was handed the award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on Saturday for his stand-up show Something.
		Kitson, who has been described as a "stuttering, myopic, sartorially select raconteur" beat five other comics judged to have been the best stand-ups at this year's Fringe.
		Kitson, who won a Perrier nomination in 2001 for his show Love, Innocence And The Word Cock, and was also this year's Time Out Performer of the Year, will receive £7,500.

		However, one chattering harpy went that extra inanity, and Kitson’s switch between nasty and tender rebuttal was sweet devastation, wasted on his intended target, naturally.
		But in his exposed wounds there is contriteness - how the days of the BBC commissioning his kids’ show about a racist penis are behind him - and in his willingness to lay bare the inner cabins of his heart he is as brave as ever.
		So quickly was Kitson discovered, lionised and then slighted, that even at his youthful age he knows more about comedy and taking risks than most of us will glimpse in a lifetime, making these stirrings of a return to form exciting in the extreme.

	Comic who likes it when his audience leave - Arts - www.smh.com.au
		Daniel Kitson won acclaim at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, but success sent him hurrying back to the shadows.
		Kitson won the Edinburgh Festival Fringe's top comedy award, the Perrier, in 2002 - and then was horrified by how his audience changed.
		Kitson does stand-up, down and dirty, as well as the intimate narrative shows that send beery blokes packing.

		Daniel’s knack of befriending an audience the moment he steps on stage, combined with a brilliantly quick comic mind, make him both a hilarious comedian and a brilliant compere.
		Daniel’s’ talent does not stop at stand-up, his ability to talk on radio as if every listener is a friend has been widely recognised.
		Daniel’s first two-man Edinburgh show in 1999 was the main feature on a one-hour documentary, on Channel 4 titled ‘The Other Side of Edinburgh’.

	Daniel Kitson's A Made Up Story 9/4 - www.ezboard.com
		Like Simon Munnery when Daniel comes on he pleasantly lets the audience know what to expect of the evening, creating a relationship with the audience and giving the impression that we were about to embark on a journey with him rather than being passive listeners.
		He said that the theatre was close to the street and not to be troubled by outside noises, if a fire engine goes by with its siren on, we might be in the sweet shop in the story and not to worry because the sweet shop is not burning down.
		It was Daniel’s story so there had to be a sweet shop, but we were only in there for a very short time.

		One of the finest comedians on the circuit today, Daniel is a former Perrier Award winner and previewed his Edinburgh show for us in 2004.
		A quick interval and it was the moment we’d all been waiting for, Daniel Kitson’s return to the Last Laugh.
		Daniel’s traditional outsider persona was also on show again (his description of enjoying music that was “designed to be listened to on a Walkman, in the rain, feeling melancholy but vaguely hopeful” was pure poetry) but he appears to have cheered up a bit since he last played here.

		Daniel began doing open spots while at college studying drama in Roehampton University, but his stand up career started a few years before then.
		Moving on from that, Daniel was a finalist in the 1995 BBC Open Mic Award (which was won that year by Julian Barratt).

		Oh, I mean definitely good, just not quite the old” blah blah whoever it is. Daniel Kitson knows this, but like many of life's insecurities, he has the ability to instantly turn it on it's head and ensure the laughter is concentrated around, rather than at, himself.
		The book contains the show, or at least most of its material, and with typical nonchalance, Kitsons flicks through it throughout, allowing it to lend structure to his vocal rambling and helping the audience calm to the slower pace demanded by such an extended gig.
		Kitson admits that recently he has had an internal struggle with comedy, and although evidently recovered, tonight's performance suggests that some doubts may still linger.

	Comedy laid bare - Daniel Kitson
		Daniel Kitson has been on a bit of a sabbatical - well, that's what his agent says.
		Daniel is doing all he can to help, while trying to hide from audiences, critics and any sort of tangible success.

	box social: Daniel Kitson. Manchester Dancehouse. 05feb05.
		This brief tour is titled ‘Shuffling About and Being Funny’ and that pretty much sums up what Daniel Kitson is all about.
		He is the Sarah Records of the stand-up world, home to the ramshackle but beautiful, a heart worn on the sleeve and a social politic that flies in the face of new ladism.
		This may make him sound bitter and twisted, but the man we see before us tonight is clearly full of love to give and dedicated to his family and friends, who make the basis for many of his stories (you can’t really call them routines).

		Daniel Kitson's issues are no less plentiful, but more mundane.
		In 2001, he seemed the new sheriff in town, capitalising on his bearded, bespectacled, stuttering geekiness in a no-frills show that was as strong on charm as it was on observation.
		There's no disputing Kitson's surefootedness or clear-sightedness, or the originality of his persona, and his dismissal of modern R&B music alone could well clear his path to heaven.

		Speaking is his business, but Kitson uses a mighty vocabulary to its highest purposes – to express passions and curiosities about the world, and to destroy all opponents.
		Kitson, who believes that “being snooty can be as valid as anger”, is saying that laughing and applauding doesn’t mean you get it, or that you’re his kind of people.
		Kitson is unashamedly yearning – that’s what makes a fairly unattractive man into a beautiful performer – but he has very clear ideas about what he doesn’t want.
