Tim Ewins: the author of many voices

Tim Ewins launched his debut novel, We Are Animals, just as the Covid-19 crisis hit. Since then, he has accepted challenges to read from his book in a different guise – from Gollum to Cher, from the cast of Friends to Kurt Cobain – every night of lockdown

We thought his heroic efforts needed preserving for posterity, so here are all his performances to date. We’ll update them as his cycle continues.

Tim stresses that he is not an impersonator, he’s just a bored author. It’s true that anyone expecting uncanny vocal accuracy may be disappointed. For originality and determination to sell his book, however, he is peerless.

Check out each of his performances by clicking on the links below. And do buy his book (which was launched at 99p but is about to go up in price).

If you check the glowing reviews for We Are Animals, you’ll see that it’s not an act of charity.
