For two decades, Tim has been the poetic architect of fleeting, irreverent ideas and tawdry little vignettes that have woven themselves into the very fabric of his life and written work. It all began in 2004 when he hastily jotted down his inaugural poem on a humble scrap of paper while riding a bus. Since that momentous inception, these verses have been the creative bedrock upon which he has built his career.

In intimate venues tucked away above cozy pubs, Tim unveiled his poetic gems, delivering them with a blend of humor, charm, and artistry that would eventually earn him the prestigious Perrier Award in 2009. From that pivotal victory, he embarked on a journey that would take his spoken-word artistry beyond borders, captivating audiences in sold-out tours both within the United Kingdom and across international stages.

These poems have also served as the clandestine cornerstone of Tim's Radio 4 show, aptly titled "Tim Key’s Late Night Poetry Programme," spanning an impressive seven series. The verses, once scribbled onto that fateful scrap of paper, have since splashed themselves onto the pages of five books, immortalizing their witty and thought-provoking essence.

But that's not the whole story. Tim, in a unique and interactive twist, has been printing these literary gems onto labels and affixing them to playing cards. These cards, more than mere memorabilia, have become his poetic companions when facing an eager audience. He reads them aloud, tossing them onto beer-soaked stages, where they become part of the performance, bearing witness to his artistic journey.

Now, after years of poetic exploration, Tim's words are transcending their humble playing card origins. They are being transformed into larger-than-life prints, granting his audience a visual immersion into the world of his poetry. These giant-sized prints promise to evoke the same wry smiles, contemplation, and laughter that have made Tim Key's poetic journey a remarkable and enduring one.
