In 2013, Daniel Kitson wrote a play for two people (himself and (the mighty) Tim Key) to perform for a week or two at the (also mighty) Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. In 2015 that play was restaged at the (again, mighty) Old Vic in London for something like 28 performances, in total. This is one of those performances, in real time, start to finish.
In 2010, or maybe 2011, it’s hard to be certain about these things, I wrote and performed a show called It’s Always Right Now, Until It’s Later. I originally performed it in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the Traverse Theatre every morning at 10.30 before restaging it at St Anns Warehouse in New York, The National Theatre in London and The Royal Exchange in Manchester. This film was made on one single night towards the end of the Manchester run and is the entire show, in real time.
Wrote and performed originally in Melbourne at the International Comedy Festival in The Council Chambers in the Town Hall before tweaking for the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. It was filmed on a number of different nights on a single camera.

A group of twenty-somethings, one of whom is a single father with a precious daughter, have been unsuccessful in getting into a certain club so they can have a chance to DJ there and start a career out of it. A series of events has lumbered them with a dog napping scheme gone badly wrong, ending up with them owning a particular pooch belonging to a dog-loving local drug dealer.
A live recording of Daniel Kitson’s 2002 Edinburgh Fringe show Something, later performed at Soho Theatre. Capturing the early rise of one of Britain’s most distinctive stand-ups, the set blends self-deprecating humour, sharp observation, and moments of surprising tenderness. The recording was slightly edited by Kitson to remove minor asides and polish pacing, offering a snapshot of his creative voice during a defining year in his career.
