Late n Live montage 26/8/03 Edinburgh Festival Final night

Last night at the Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2003. Daniel Kitson and co argue a bit, rap a bit, then smash up a cow that you can barely see due to poor camera work.

There really needs to be more Daniel Kitson on Youtube.

@SillyOclock Are you seriously suggesting that Peter Kay is a greater talent than Kitson? Kay, who has done nothing of any merit since he pissed off the great writing and performing ensemble that made Phoenix Nights what it was? Kitson who produces works of startling originality on average every few months? The co-creators of Phoenix Nights no longer speak to Kay, he's even had a pop at his best buddy and crap comic Paddy McGuiness. He's not thought very highly of at all by a lot of people.

@SillyOclock Kitson won the Perrier in 2002 (something Kay never did) - after that he could have taken the TV route but he instead decided to concentrate on his craft. He stopped playing the major venues in Edinburgh and started producing spoken word, theatrical pieces as well his stand up. He's won awards for these and received almost unanimous critical acclaim - his fellow comedians revere him. He doesn't do publicity, and he hates the idea of doing television.

well i don't see tv production companies offering kitson his own show so perhaps that tells you something.

I was there that night! Just had our last performance of Stalin the Musical the night before. We went to The Paint Show that night, and I went on to Gilded Balloon. I can remember apologising to one of Flight of the Conshords for knowing all the words to Copacabana that Nova Lounge played at the end.

Thank you for posting.

@SillyOclock Oh i get you now! I just wander if he's being "ironic" or just getting cheap laughs. Either way I think he's quite good. But I know what you mean, seems a bit silly of him

[SillyOclock]

i know, i was showing that his ill judged words about a greater talent would come back to haunt him.

@SillyOclock Thats what Kitson said about Phoenix Nights...

I was there too! One of the funniest comedic nights ever. The Metro cow got smashed in two and crowd surfed over everyone out the back door.... :)

Hahaha, I just found this video and I was there that night! It was a great show, the sound and video doesn't do it justice but it was great to see it, just to bring back memories!!
