'''Every Man in his Humour''' was a humorous comic play by Ben Jonson, written in 1598. However, the appearance of the title in the '''London Magazine''' of 1752 undoubetly honors the successful revival of the play in 1751 by actor and producer David Garrick who made substantial alterations in 1751 that the play emphasizing the character Kitely's jealousy. Garrick pared some of Jonson's lines and added others, including one whole scene, and he himself played Kitely, which became one of his signature roles.
