Tim Key

Tim Key presents a work in progress. He will also be falling back on old material because, and this is not a criticism, he doesn’t have enough new material.

Tim ‘the superstar standup poet’ (Guardian) is an English actor, writer, and performance poet. In 2009, he was the winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award and was also nominated for the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality. He’s been nominated for a BAFTA.

His creations include the sketch show Cowards and Tim Key’s Late Night Poetry Programme on Radio 4. He recently appeared in Gap Year on E4 and guest appeared in the first episode of the final season of Peep Show.

Part of the Shepherd’s Bush Comedy Festival presented by Hammersmith and Fulham Council and PBJ Management.
