Five Reasons To See … Tim Key – Masterslut

Comedian Tim Key is currently presenting his latest solo show, Masterslut, a hit at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, at Soho Theatre, where it continues to 7 January.

Here, the 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award-winner gives us five reasons to go along…


1. Masterslut is a combination of poetry, talking, water, film and strawberry-eating. It’s very rare you get to see these things all in the same performance-piece.

2. I had to take a medical to do the show. So the show has a dangerous element to it.

3. I don’t have a DVD out so it’s the only way to see me, without finding out where I live and using a stepladder to climb through my kitchen window and demanding I say or do something funny.

4. I’ve got a bath in my show.

5. It’s my second or third best show to date.
