Lager-guzzling poet and Alan Partridge star Tim Key is extending the 2023 tour of his critically acclaimed show Mulberry due to phenomenal demand. Tickets for the extra dates go on sale at 10am on Friday 2nd November and are available from www.timkey.co.uk. See below for information on extra dates.
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 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 40 dates. Tickets for the extra dates go on sale on Friday 2nd December and are available from timkey.co.uk, plosive.co.uk and seetickets.com.
Tim 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.
Tim Key is an actor, writer, and performance poet. He has won the Edinburgh Comedy Award and been nominated three times for the Australian equivalent and once for the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality.
