A wildly original collection of poetry and prose from one of the UK's most exciting comics
Key is now 38 (old) and wears dark, lager stained suits and ties for his poetry. He came through Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe and Newswipe and now has a Late Night Poetry Programme on the radio, which he is paid for. In 2009 he won the Edinburgh Comedy Award for his poetical recital The Slutcracker and has filmed some of his verse in black and white to overwhelming critical approval. In 2014 he took the role of Sidekick Simon in Alpha Papa and sometimes does bits of telly and/or writes a column for the Independent. Most importantly, his Instagram account - timkeypoet - is starting to gather momentum.
* Key locates the spot where poetry, comedy and art intersect, picnics there pleasurably, then takes a crap on it -- ADAM BUXTON * I am jealous of my friend Tim Key. He has one of the funniest, smartest comic minds in the country. If women start finding him attractive I will hang myself -- STEPHEN MERCHANT * Renders all other poetry collections redundant, which they were anyway -- CHARLIE BROOKER * If there's a funnier book of poems published this year, then we will eat all the hats in the Dazed fashion cupboard. ... [Key] is one of those rare and blessed people who seem almost biologically incapable of doing anything that isn't completely hilarious. ... a total comic masterpiece from a total comic genius Dazed and Confused * Key is a brilliantly intelligent comic. His poems are hugely skilful, and often funnier in five lines than many comedians can manage to be in an hour on stage The List * He's a genius plain and simple Time Out
