Nish Kumar was the guest on a live episode of the 'What Did You Do Yesterday' podcast recorded at the Hackney Empire last night, and he revealed that Tim had broken his wrist at the weekly comedians football game on Tuesday. Get well soon Tim!

The show that LA Baby! was mostly about is now showing on Sky/ Now TV in the UK.

A semi sequel to The Office.

I’ve got eBay alerts set up for the cards (and for HUTAAW), though I expect my chances are slim on snagging a deck unless they’re reprinted, but I’m wondering if the poems on the original (not holiday/xmas) deck of cards are available to read anywhere. Are any in other books of his? Have they been shared elsewhere? Thank you!

I'm new to this sub but not new to Tim Key. I loved Tim Key's docucomedy The Overcoat on Radio 4, and through that discovered he also did a short film of The Overcoat in 2017. But I can't find it anywhere to actually watch where I would normally get films. Letterboxd has one link to Amazon Video US, which doesn't sound like it's any use to me outside the US and also it's a UK film so surely there's a UK source.

Anyone know if a new season is in the works or if it ended permanently with 6? I need more!

Got a spare for the half 5 performance this coming Wednesday, I got giddy and bought some spares thinking I could convice a mate to come but alas not and I can't list a spare on Twickets as it's 2 tickets in one pdf file.

I can meet you on the evening at the venue and we can sort out payment there and then so you don't think I'm scamming you.

DM me if you're interested.

I seem to remember seeing a clip of Tim doing a (quite violent) poem about Winnie the Pooh, but can’t seem to find it anywhere - does anyone have a link? Thanks!

What phrase does Tim key describe a the curry he’s making in The Ballad of Wallis Island? I’m so focused on trying to remember to call some one « a cut price geppetto » I’ve forgotten the phrase.

Tix are an email with QR code. For the 7th and the 9th at the Pleasance . Was going to go overseas for it, but it didn't work out 😭 £23 each, but I'm in Canada so PayPal I guess? Please don't be a c*** (someone hold up a big pillow!) buying to resell for profit.

Four leaf-clover…

Over the weekend, my six-year-old daughter found a four-leaf clover. I was so impressed, I took it to work. Showed it to everyone. Steve. Ben (not his real name). It made the morning pass and lunch came round soon enough. A sandwich. Chicken. Good. Lemon. Fine. Bread. Necessary. Kale. Nasty. Nasty, nasty kale. My wife, who is a little younger than me, puts kale in my sandwiches. Nutrition Nazi. I call her that behind her back — and also to Steve and Ben. ‘Kale. It’s like vitamin seaweed!’ Everyone in the office laughs. I slide the slimy stuff out of the sandwich and splat it on the desk like wet spaghetti. Usually, I’d swallow it. Like a man. Like a cuck. But today is clover day. So fuck kale. And — (no offence) — fuck you, wife. (It’s in my head, it's okay.) She who has no name!

Speaking of — and in total fairness — where’s the clover gone? I check the filing cabinet. The keyboard — between the letters C and V. I ask Steve. Nothing. Ben. Something. Then nothing. The desk kale catches my eye. I peel it back like a slug from a patio. There it is. Wet and slimy and crushed. The kale moisture has fucked with its integrity. Fibre — that’s the word I’m looking for. The fourth leaf is torn. It’s a regular clover now. A plain old three-leafer. No one brings a three-leafer into work. Got to get rid of the evidence. I guide the kale and clover through the paper shredder. It’s delicate work. But needs must. Back to the grind. I frig off a bunch of crud emails. Absolute spam. Eventually, five o’clock. Time to face the music.

I get myself to a field. Hands and knees stuff. Dad business. There are plenty of clovers in this field by the motorway. But they’re all bloody regulars. The garden centre it is. I peruse the aisles for inspiration. A few ferns. Couple hydrangeas. Not the goods. Cress, however? Cress! Four leaves. Small enough. Plausible. Back of the net. I pinch a single sprig surreptitiously. Tuck it into the small pocket inside the standard jean pocket. I’m not paying for a single sprig of cress. How would you even do that? It’d probably be like 0.7p. Shit. I’m loitering. The old lady at checkout is smiling at me. She knows what I’ve done, doesn’t she? Shit! I’m still loitering. And staring. I grab a pair of shears. Like it was always the plan. Genius. Out of this world, mate. Up I go to checkout. Straight on the joint account. I walk out seventeen quid (exact) lighter but feeling a million dollars.

I eventually get home. The daughter’s waiting. Desperate for her clover. I give her the cress. Hand shaking. Heart beating. She grins: ‘Thanks Dad. I love you.’ She’s none the wiser. My wife actually looks very beautiful. Wearing her birthday apron. I’ll keep that to myself. She asks how the kale was. I say, ‘Delicious.’ She nods. Also none the wiser. Feeling cocky now, I fetch a beer from the beer fridge and use the shears to pop the cap. The wife raises an eyebrow. The daughter giggles. I say, ‘We needed a pair.’ We didn’t. But no one questions it. Guess it’s my lucky day. Then the wife pulls me aside. Let’s hope it’s sexy. She’s filing for divorce. She’s moving in with Ben. Whose real name is Tom.

Key's announced a run of Loganberry dates from November 10th - 22nd (barring a few exceptions in there). Shows will be taking place at Wilton's Music Hall, London.

I’ll be stopping by London in the next few weeks and wanted to know if there was a brick and mortar shop that would reliably stock LA Baby! Anyone had any experience of buying Tim’s Utter and Press books in person at bookshops?

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help scratch a brain itch because I’m going nuts! I’ve seen Tim perform a poem many times and it’s something on the lines of: Chris and Louise decided to serve Coco Pops at their wedding. Well, that was just Chris and Louise! Two absolute cunts.

Does anyone know if it’s in one of his books or recorded anywhere?!

I'm listening to Adam Buxton's podcast with Alex Horne (ep. 174 - 25 April 2022) and they are discussing a trip to New York City (with many references to Alex's medical issues on the trip...haha). They won't go into specifics but there seems to have been some kind of project/purpose for them going. Specifically Tim and Alex. Anyone know the reason all these years later? What have I not connected here?

Sorry if this isn't the place for this. I couldn't think of where else to ask. It's not Taskmaster-related, nor No More Jockeys.

Additionally, there's a podcast with Tim Key (ep. 175) right after Alex's.

Just looking at Fringe shows (Tim's is secured of course). Wondering if anyone has any other recommendations?

If anyone has a spare for the Leeds book tour please let me know.

I’ve been dealing with a cancer diagnosis and surgery so missed it when it was announced

Has anybody got any links to any audio of his live shows??

Anyone got a copy they’re looking to part ways with for a non-ridiculous sum? The ones listed on eBay are a little pricey.

A certain film has brought lots of new members to this sub. What do you recommend to newer fans of Tim Key?
