ONE of the highlights of this year's York Comedy Festival has sold out in a week.

Tickets to Daniel Kitson's show were snapped up shortly after going on sale.

Perrier Award Winner Daniel Kitson is currently one of the hottest comedians on the circuit with an uncompromising, intelligent act.

He has been labelled "sublime and cerebral" by the Financial Times and "about as good as it gets" by The Guardian. Kitson's show is just one of over 40 events taking place during the York Comedy Festival, which is being headlined by Perrier Winner Tommy Tiernan.
