Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 28th November via www.timkey.co.uk and www.plosive.co.uk
Edinburgh Comedy Award-winner Tim Key returns with a brand-new collection of poems, lager, and reflections. It’ll be a case of marching in, eyeing you up, reading verse from battered playing cards, potentially stamping his feet, howling, guzzling continental lager, and then he’ll disappear, and that’ll be that.
He’s bit older now, but still plugging away. Recent highlights include playing a pigeon in Bong Joon Ho’s latest film, the release of The Ballad of Wallis Island, which he co-wrote and starred in, appearing on Richard Herring’s podcast, and releasing a brand-new book of poetry: L.A. Baby! (out now). Expect poetry, and some reflection upon his wonderful career. Loganberry promises to be as unpredictably brilliant as ever. Famed for his masterful blend of deadpan poetry, surreal storytelling, and mischievous charm, Key has carved out a unique space in British comedy – equal parts absurd, poignant, and painfully funny. He also met Steffi Graf in 1998/9.
In his own words: “I am very excited to traipse around the country again.”
