You've got your greedy little claws on Key's audiobook. It represents the most comprehensive collection of poeticals put together to date. Whichever way you care to look at this, it is pretty much a wall of poems. There are lots of them. Too many maybe. If there's such a thing as too many poems, which in all likelihood there is. These poems (by award-winning Key) are primarily about love, sex, dreams, death and fruit (strawberries, beans etc). This audiobook has come out as a sort of accompaniment to the actual book. The two are quite similar, except this one's got snippets of music and the actual book is a bit heavier and can be burned in an emergency. The release of the book, audiobook and ebook in no way tie in with things like 'demand' or 'clamour' but are more a result of Key having a full English breakfast with the right person at the right time. You shouldn't feel like you're taking the easy option by getting the audiobook rather than fronting up and buying the hard copy - some people like to enjoy poetry in the car and Key isn't the kind of person to suggest you jam the actual book against the steering wheel with your elbow and divide your attention between reading the lovely verse and narrowly avoiding a Prius. No, get the audiobook. By all means, get the audiobook - ideally in addition to the actual book. Cue it up, and get it blaring out whilst you're doing other things.©2011 Tim Key European Poetry World Literature Comedy Witty Funny

Critic Reviews

"

Praise for Tim Key's stand-up shows:
'The writing is terribly acute . . . the delivery beyond funny

"
"He's a genius plain and simple. Whilst he's definitely an acquired taste, once you have acquired it you'll agree with us that there isn't a better comic out there."
"In any other sphere apart from comedy, we'd probably class this way of looking at the world as certifiable. Here it feels like genius."
"A hidden gem . . . artfully shambolic . . . Pitched somewhere between Withnail and Eddie The Eagle."
"It's incredibly funny, but as a mood piece, almost a happening."
"Key spearheads a generation of comics which seeks to do much more than make us laugh. This is a man going places"
"

Praise for Instructions, Guidelines, Tutelage, Suggestions, Other Suggestions and Examples Etc.:

'This book is peppered with majestically off-the-wall invention.

"
"Key has the soul of a master poet trapped inside the body of a drunken tramp. With every turn of the page a new adventure into the weird and wonderful world of this abstract genius begins."
"It is daft and surreal and genuinely laughter-inducing."

Gorgeous, weird, witty and lovely an extra lovely surprise listening chuckle.
Felt much like a performative piece rather than an audio book.

Book/performative piece - gorgeous.

this didn’t really click for me. Some little gems, but lots of filler too. Sorry!

Big fan of Tim Key, but…
