The Incomplete Tim Key: About 300 of his poetical gems and what-nots

by Tim Key

Overview

This is an updated version of the ebook. And it is ram-jammed full of poems by KEY. Within its pages you will find the vast majority of the same poems as you'll find in its predecessor. Poems skewering such thorny issues as sex, pancakes, footy and vodka. But, in order to drum up renewed interest, KEY has also added a new poem. And there are also seven new introductions. And KEY has also been allowed to waddle round the text with his Lamy fountain pen, altering and updating. Improving. Making everything just so.

About the Author

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.

Editorial Reviews

Renders all other poetry collections redundant, which they were anyway

EBOOK COMMENTARY

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

Renders all other poetry collections redundant, which they were anyway

CHARLIE BROOKER

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

His brief verses range from the whimsical to the sinister . . . He is quick and mischievous, rarely earnest

Guardian

He's a genius plain and simple

Time Out

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

Tim Key is one of the most talented comedic brains in Britain! . . . This collection of his latest work is a delight
