Funniest Man in the World Coming to NYC

OK, maybe that's a stretch considering I've only seen his standup act once, but there's no doubt that Daniel Kitson's set at Gothamist's Laughable Hype show last year was just about the funniest thing I've ever seen. A lot of comedians are smart (see my one-time schoolmate Demetri Martin), but Kitson's comedy is genius-level type stuff.

So I was thrilled to see on his website that Kitson is bringing his new "Fireworks" show to New York for the last two weeks of July. I haven't seen any specifics yet, but I will be sure to post them when I do. And if anyone knows the details and wants to leave them in the comments, I'd be forever in your debt.
