Tim Key: Chapters

Ultimate multi-hyphenate Tim Key is a poet-comedian-actor-screenwriter – and Taskmaster’s resident task consultant. Author of six books, he joins the Festival to chat about Chapters, a poetry anthology he describes as his 'least ambitious' project yet (…we respectfully disagree!).

Key will be joined in conversation by John Kearns.
