Legendary publicity-shy comedian Daniel Kitson is planning a national tour of the Christmas-themed show he did at the Battersea Arts Centre a few years ago.

The dates will be in December when he returns from performing a new show, A Short Series Of Disagreements Presented Here In Chronological Order, in Washington DC for the first time. Tickets here.

Dates are currently pencilled in for Edinburgh, Manchester, Margate, Brighton, Bristol, Durham and a couple of others*. Kitson, who famously handles himself, is interested in doing more dates and has written on his latest newsletter: "If you are involved in a venue that does not have a pantomime on every night of December and you fancy having my Christmas Show there– get in touch and lets talk turkey." Get in touch with him via his website.

Kitson has also been added to Monday night's all-star benefit gig in London. Line-up here.
