We are pleased to announce that storytelling comedian Daniel Kitson, and singer songwriter Gavin Osborn, will support us on the English leg of our forthcoming tour.
Daniel and Gavin were one of our highlights of Latitude and we cannot wait to see their latest collaboration. They’ll be on stage at 7.45 (tbc) each night, with a storytelling performance specifically written for the tour, so if you have tickets, please head along early to make sure that you catch the tale in its entirety!
Together, Daniel and Gavin have toured the UK and Australia, sold out Regents Park Open Air Theatre, and most recently appeared in the middle of a lake at Latitude, but we’re most impressed (if not slightly jealous) that Daniel appeared as a contestant on Blockbusters, when he just a young laddie.
Daniel and Gavin will be performing their unique concoction of stories and songs on the following dates:
5th December Gateshead, Sage
6th December Birmingham, Symphony Hall
7th December Manchester, Apollo
9th December Bournemouth, O2 Academy
10th December Minehead, Butlins
14th December Leicester, De Montford Hall
