We've been a little quiet on the blog front recently but we've suddenly sprung into action with two posts already this week, and here's a third for you! I hadn't planned this one but a pleasant surprise arrived in my inbox this morning and I wanted to share it with you!
The Hoipolloi office has long been a fan of Mr Daniel Kitson and his fabulous work both in stand-up and his story-telling shows.
We also know that Daniel has popped in to see a couple of Hugh Hughes' shows during the last couple of Edinburgh Fringes and we're really grateful that he shared the following paragraph with his email list this week...
"...also, here is a little tip for you good people of edinburgh and the surrounding regions, Story of a Rabbit, a lovely show that i saw during the festival of 2008 is at the traverse theatre for 4 nights in november, i think its the 11th to the 14th, but im typing this on a train and the internet connection isnt great. i mean, its still pretty good, considering im on a bloody train. still. its all relative. anyway, i very strongly recommend seeing it. it was something of an influence on my more recent stuff and its brilliant. funny and sad and lovely."
Thank you for such an exciting recommendation. I know that Hugh was touched to find out that the show provided some influence on your work. And a reminder that we're not just playing in Edinburgh (at the Traverse) but also at the Point in Eastleigh, Cambridge Arts Theatre and the CURVE in Leicester. Full details here!
And as it'd be rude not to return the favour, if you haven't seen a Daniel Kitson show, go see one, immediately!
Following this link will take you (eventually if you keep scrolling down) to a list of where he's playing his stand-up show in November in the UK (if they haven't already sold-out). And also, as I know we have Australian visitors here, you can also catch him at Sydney Opera House from the end of November into December with 66a Church Road.
