Tim Key won the 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award for his show, The Slutcracker, a mix of poetry, unconventional stand-up and film. And in 2012, Masterslut won best show atthe Chortle Awards.

A former member of the Cambridge Footlights, he first came to the Fringe with their 2001 Edinburgh show Far Too Happy, which also starred Mark Watson and was nominated for the Perrier award for best newcomer.

He also featured in Alex Horne's best-newcomer nominated Making Fish Laugh in 2003, and is part of the four-man sketch troupe Cowards. His solo Edinburgh debut came in 2004, with the tragic one-man comedy play Luke & Stella, which was made into a Radio 4 series called All Bar Luke.

His poetry has also feature on Radio 4’s Mark Watson Makes the World Substantially Better and Charlie Brooker's Newswipe.

Tim Key joins The Office follow-up in America

With Alex Edelman and Black Ops star Gbemisola Ikumelo

Tim Key, fellow stand-up Alex Edelman and Black Ops star Gbemisola Ikumelo have joined the new US mockumentary follow-up to The Office.

In the as-yet-untitled series, the fly-on-the-wall documentary crew that charted the goings-on in Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch turn their attentions to a dying historic Midwestern newspaper, and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters

It is not yet known what roles the new cast members will play, but Ikumelo and Edelman  – best known for his off-Broadway stand-up show Just for Us – will also be writers on the comedy.

Relative unknown Eric Rahill is also joining as an actor and writer, US trade press reported last night.

They join the previously announced Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei and Ramona Young

Greg Daniels, who developed the American version of The Office co-created the new series with Michael Koman. Both serve as executive producers along with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and others.

It has been reported that the show – not strictly a spin-off from The Office but set ‘in the same universe’ – has the working title The Paper.
