Daniel Kitson uses old-fashioned recording technology to piece together a reflective, witty and wondrous performance all about making connections.

Daniel Kitson - a legend in his own lifetime?

Comedy review: Daniel Kitson, Tree

Opinion: Daniel Kitson - stuff

As far as I know Kitson doesn't have a manager either and hasn't for nearly a decade now. He doesn't smother himself over the press doing interviews when he has something to promote. He doesn't dish out press tickets willy nilly. In fact I'm not sure if he ever gave the press any tickets once he started self-managing.
