At least as well-known for his speaking talents as for his writing, Twain stands out as the first preeminent modern political humorist in America. He pursued many professions, settling on one that brought him accidental fame (writing), and another that saved him from financial ruin (public speaking). Information on Twain is available in every form, everywhere his books are not banned, and anywhere an understanding of how to avoid repeating the mistakes of American History is considered important.

About Alan Kitty

Every Twain Impersonator has a story to tell about how he found his Mark Twain. Alan Kitty began reading Twain at age 12 -- Twain's age when his formal education ended. The impression it made on the boy was compelling. Each lived in many states across the US. Both followed career paths with some striking similarities, including involvement in Printing, Publishing, Typography, Writing, and Public Speaking. Through natural disposition and acts of Providence, both men were drawn to the Arts. Kitty, who took his formal training in Acting in New York, has written four full-length plays and several shorter ones. He has been writing and performing as Mark Twain on stage and in film since 1979. You can see some clips by following this link.
