Tim Key is a poet, a comic and someone who I developed an unlikely friendship with through various television appearances together. A few months ago, I went to see The Ballad of Wallis Island and was totally blown away by Tim who not only starred in the movie, but wrote it too. He is a total star and I was excited to have him in the studio - his dry wit combined with my restless energy always makes for a fun time.


Tim is quite a personal guy, and like many comics, uses humour to deflect, but he shared a side of him I’d never really seen.


We cover:

  • How Tim faked going to Cambridge to get into the Footlights theatre group
  • Brotherly relationships and how some memories shape us
  • Filming and writing The Ballad of Wallis Island
  • The loneliness of LA
  • Becoming a comedian and summers in Edinburgh

I loved this conversation - it’s a little more lighthearted than other episodes, but within that light, we are still able to uncover the deep.


Tim shared some poems from his new book, L.A. Baby! which you can find here: www.utterandpress.co.uk/


And I've got a new book coming out, Boys Don't Cry which you can pre-order here: boysdontcry.co.uk
