About the show

Tim Key embarks on a low-grade book tour at Monkey Barrel 3, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, celebrating the publication of his latest poetry anthology, L.A. Baby!, published in the UK by utterandpress.co.uk. Over 60 minutes, Key will be in conversation about the book with whoever agrees to interview him — John Kearns and Jess Knappett often crop up — and will read some poems aloud. The book will be available to buy at the event. Presented by Plosive Live in association with PBJ Management. Age guidance: 14+. Tickets £15.

Why see this show?

A deliberately unvarnished book tour event — a poet reading his own work and chatting about it in a comedy club. Low-key, personal and refreshingly unbothered about being a traditional show.
