About
Tim Key built a reputation as a poet-comedian who blurs stand-up and literary performance. Born in 1976, he won the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2009 and became known for playing Sidekick Simon across Alan Partridge films and TV. His Virgo precision shows in densely layered, digressive comedy that prizes language over punchlines.
★ FEATURE
Biography
Tim Key emerged as an English poet and comedian who treats stand-up as a form of written performance. Born 2 September 1976, he performed at Edinburgh Festival Fringe both solo and as part of the comedy group Cowards, winning the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2009 and earning a Malcolm Hardee Award nomination for Comic Originality that same year. Beyond live work, he plays Sidekick Simon in various Alan Partridge film and television projects. As a screenwriter and actor, Key straddles comedy, poetry, and character work—occupations that typically demand precision and linguistic control. His Virgo birth sign aligns with his reputation for fastidious, layered writing. A Life Path 7 [birth], he gravitates toward introspection and intellectual depth rather than broad crowd-pleasing.
