Nate Kitch: Something Different!!!!!

 
Kate Copstick Review by Kate Copstick 4 Published: 9 Aug 2025 Gilded Balloon Patter House Show Dates: 30 Jul 2025-23 Aug 2025

Although he dedicates quite a lot of energy to convincing you that he doesn't, Nate Kitch knows exactly who he is and what he is doing in Nate Kitch: Something Different!!!!!

He does actually have a hat

Things not to expect from one of Nate’s shows are much sense, many actual jokes and any feeling of a beginning, a middle or an end. Things you definitely can expect are endlessly unexpectable fun, quite a surprising amount of faeces for a comedy show at the Gilded Balloon, and a section of something so simple and yet so brilliant that the entire room is rocking with uncontrollable laughter.

It is a long time since I have experienced anything quite like it. Through scatological clowning (more scat than clown), his struggles with exclamation marks, Matisse, North Korea and a grandfather who gets younger with every mention, Nate takes us with him. He does lose me when he attempts to mime his way through the problems Canadian rappers have with snow. Although, obviously, a serious problem for the rappers (Drake specifically, in this case), Nate's mime skills are so pathetically sad, I find myself siding with Kendrick Lamarr. And that is something I never thought I would say.

Excitingly, for followers of Nate's promotion of this show, I can report that he does actually have a hat. And it is very nice. I did lie about the ending, by the way. And it is worth waiting for… weird, but worth waiting for.
