Alex Kitson mixes dark and light well in this promising debut. The show builds to its key tale of his biggest secret, and the turns he takes to get there hold the attention throughout. One to watch.
Alex Kitson is an award-winning comedian with a secret. One he's fed up of keeping. Come find out what made this 'incredible... so clever' (BBC Radio) 'master of his craft' (Capers Comedy) perform the show he never thought he'd do. A debut hour about hope, escaping the woods and jokes. Lots and lots of jokes. Tour Support for Tom Houghton, Tom Ward and Vittorio Angelone. 'A knack for making you burst into laughter... comedic sensation' (Big Belly Comedy Club). Best of Brighton Fringe Comedy Award 2023 (Nominated). Best Joke Winner (Bath Festival).
