Tim Key

Wednesday, 3 March 2010 - Saturday, 13 March 2010

Arts Theatre, Great Newport Street, Leicester Square, WC2H 7JB

Comedy: , Stand Up, Poetry

How Much: £15.00 (Entry)
This is the show that won comic poet Tim Key the main Edinburgh Comedy Award last year - the highest accolade a comedian can receive in the UK.

On the back of his 2008 show The Slut In The Hut he published his first book  (25 Poems, 3 Recipes and 32 Other Suggestions) and became resident poet on Charlie Brooker?s Screenwipe and Newswipe. Now he's back with The Slutcracker: a meatier show combining poetry with experimental films, high-drama, yelling and music.

Key's act, combining very short poems with a comical, uptight stage persona is uniquely hilarious. It's no good us trying to explain why - you just have to see it for yourself.
