Do you smell that? It’s the rich aroma of the second half of the gruesome twosome, Kit, played by the talented Zach Chamberlaine.

Zach’s favorite line, as the Hollydae’In’s own philosopher in disguise, is the metaphysical proclamation: “But, I’m also *here* because this is one of my union mandated breaks.”

We all need to be grounded somehow, and that’s just what Zach brings us in his interpretation of this lovable bellhop. While the bellhops bring us nothing but nonstop laughter, Zach had the following to stay on his favorite moment as Kit in the show: "There are a couple of contenders, but maybe slacking off in the hotel lobby with my bro, Nick, giggling and making fun of the guests as they arrive. It’s a rare moment in a scripted play when you’re given carte blanche to just piss about in the corner with the mental age of a fifteen year old – which luckily also appears to be my mental age in real life."

While the Concierge and Nick may have more loyalty to the Hollydae’In, Zach thinks Kit’s preferences may lean in a different direction, particularly towards Britannia Hotels, which was recently voted the worst hotel chain in the UK for the eighth year running. Britannia owns some beautiful historic buildings, at which guests can enjoy bird poo on the windows, used condoms in the kettle, and drunken fights among the kitchen staff. Kit can relate to Britannia’s “relaxed service atmosphere”, as both share a strong commitment to not being quite up to standard.

If Kit were to write an erotic novel it would be called 420 Shades of Gay by Mary Jane Blower. Kit would naturally have to write under a pseudonym, due to the slightly illegal nature of his inspiration: sexy times hustling on the streets of Soho whilst high as a kite. High as a Kit(e) will be the title of his autobiography.

When it comes to rating his place of employment, Kit gives the Hollydae’in four out of five stars. He has enjoyed not working there. A cushy joint, but not quite enough smoke breaks.
