KIT AND THE WIDOW
'20 Years Man & Boy'
To celebrate twenty years on the Road, Kit and the Widow present an anniversary selection of songs.  Something old, something new, something borrowed ........ and something in the second half, if we're all still sober!  In the fine old English tradition of two men and a piano, they have many a tale to tell.  From Joan Rivers in the bush to scout huts in Sark, from ice polo in St Moritz to nudist beaches on the Costa del Sol, from the gilded drawing rooms of society to the murky charms of the Edinburgh Festival fringe year after year after year .............
Tickets £14(£12 FOSJ), £12(£11 FOSJ), £6 restricted view
