Love a good book talk, me. Normally that’s a trip to Bath to go to Toppings, but tonight! In our very own Old Vic, we have Tim Key talking about his new collection of poetry and dialogues, LA Baby. He’s done a few of these now, for this and the last book (Chapters), and it’s always a surprise who he’s going to get to do the interviewing. John Kearns, Jessica Knappett, and Sam Campbell have all popped up before. Daniel Kitson’s doing it in Exeter a couple of days before. Who’s it going to be for us? Delightfully it turns out to be Amy Gledhill, a firm favourite. She has a wonderful ability to play both sharp and naive, which is fun in this kind of setting. Lots of good chat about what was actually going on for Key at the time - filming the new spin-off of The Office (U.S.) - a few poems read out, a belter of both an audience Q and indeed A (“is the spin-off any good?” “to be completely honest, the jury’s out”).
