It's Henry Leonard Bodey's last day working in the facility. He is surrounded by thousands of discarded or undelivered compilation tapes that he has logged and filed every day of his working life. He will start, at last, to listen. And in the tapes he'll find unheard stories, stories about himself, about people he knows. About everything.
Daniel Kitson is one of the most acclaimed stand-up comics of his generation, but he is attracting an entirely new audience through his story shows. Born in Huddersfield, he began performing comedy at the age of 16. In 2001 at the age of 23 Kitson was nominated for the 2001 Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Festival for his show Love, Innocence and the Word Cock, eventually winning it in 2002 for the show Something. He performed his first 'story show' called A Made Up Story at the Edinburgh Festival in 2003.
This was followed by Stories for the Wobbly-hearted at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2005, which went on to be performed at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival where it won a Fringe First Award and then toured to New York. Although this will be Daniel Kitson's Everyman debut, he has previously appeared in Liverpool several times as part of the Liverpool Comedy Festival in July. -- www.everymanplayhouse.com
