Poet and Alan Partridge star Tim Key is taking his critically acclaimed new show Mulberry on tour across the country in 2023.
Mulberry has already performed multiple sell-out runs in London – including at Soho, Pleasance, Arcola and Regent’s Park Open Air Theatres – has played to full houses in Bristol and Salford and added multiple extra dates to its run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Now Tim Key is taking it on a live tour. Mulberry opens at Nottingham’s Glee Club on Wednesday 15th March 2023 before heading across the country for a further 28 dates. Tickets go on sale on Friday 21st October and are available from timkey.co.uk, plosive.co.uk and seetickets.com.
Tim Key said: “I started writing this as soon as the locks turned. I’ve performed it online, on rooftops and in front of audiences of cars. To unleash it into UK theatres is literally the dream. I can’t wait to yell some of it and mutter some of it around the country.”
Mulberry – described as “The greatest stand-up response to Lockdown so far” by The Times – is an all-new show from the cult comedian and has stunned audiences throughout 2022. Expect ruminations about the great indoors, a bit of stamping around, continental lagers and Tim’s trademark “poetry”. Plus, a door and a fridge. It’s a show that is hilarious as it is moving and not to be missed by one of the UK’s most unique comedy voices.
