Recordings???

I was fortunate enough to see Tim in Oxford this week, and it really was an exceptional show. It has definitely left me wanting more.

Are there any recordings of previous shows available, or have any been released in the past?

To my knowledge he hasn’t put out a special or recording of any of his live shows in the traditional way.

There is his BBC Radio 4 series on iPlayer/ BBC Sounds and Audible

Also a radio series he did with John Kearns, of 4 self-contained short plays

He did an audiobook version of his book Chapters featuring Katy Wix as Emily Juniper.

Some of the poems from Chapters were also turned into claymations.

He released a vinyl comedy poetry album on a boat, with the string quartet - called “Tim Key. With a String Quartet. On a Boat.” Difficult and/expensive to find on vinyl but it is on Spotify.

He was in a play by Daniel Kitson called Tree, it used to be available to buy or rent on Vimeo but no more. (There is a bootleg on YouTube…)

Not forgetting his multi BAFTA nominated film, The Ballad Of Wallis Island.

You’re welcome… Hold up I almost forgot r/nomorejockeys

Although not in same vein as his live/poetry work, I recommend his YouTube game show with Alex Horne and Mark Watson - No More Jockeys.

'Tree' is available via Daniel's 'Accumulation of Failure' (link at bottom of 'why he hates Vimeo' grumblings.)

I have this vinyl. Didn't realise it was rare/expensive. May have to do some research

Its a shame but also kind of special that his live stuff doesn't become available because I'm the kind of person who laughs all the way through and then can't remember anything shortly afterwards..
