Funny man.

It was very very warm in The Tobacco Factory on Sunday night. It is a great venue but they have a problem with a lack of air conditioning or any sort of ventilation. It was just about bearable. Daniel Kitson was looking slimmer and came on in a cool suit. His performance was lovely....lots of shouting..... almost 2 hours on stage without a break. Its hard to pick out any "best bits" as the whole thing was excellent, very funny and very moving.
"The world is a saddening mess of unfathomable complexity and the simplest cruelty and yet rather than raging or weeping, most of us still manage to eat snacks, do crosswords and occasionally wash. But what if, what if we heave our compassion from wherever its buried and with courage enough to seem naive or under informed or oblivious to futility, we reach for something better. Something more engaged, more humane and less snack based."
