The Big Libel Gig
On March 14th, Tim will be taking to the stage alongside an eclectic line-up of comedians, scientists and politicians, including Dara O’Briain, Dr Ben Goldacre, Robin Ince and Simon Singh, at a benefit gig for the Coalition for Libel Reform, who are trying to get unfair UK libel laws reformed.
This is what Tim had to say about the matter: “Here is what current English libel laws say: ‘Dear inquisitive, hard-working person with the public interest at heart: If a rich b*****d tells you to shut-up, you’d better shut-the f**k-up or be prepared to go broke’. It needs a tweak, we reckon.”
The show is taking place at the Palace Theatre in London and tickets are priced between £20 and £40.

love you tim and love your songs :)
Excellent cause Tim, the time is long overdue to stand up for our rights to call out these elitist, white-collared, thugs, thieves, and prima-donnas and call them for what they are! If they can’t take a joke, they’ve made a poor career choice somewhere along the line…

Good luck with the gig tonight, wish I could be there.

Just to say… Well done Tim, excellent cause. I would not of clocked this (I miss so much) if you had not been involved, so many thanks. Have just booked tickets for my son and myself. The wife has agreed to stay at home and look after the dog…
Saw you in newcastle last night. Was a blast and lots of fun.
London? Gutted. :(
Sad that I won’t be going to this, but really happy the event is taking place.
Poland wait for you.
tim you’re so right about the rich man because maybe thats exactly what has happend in real life already hahaha and i think people who don’t know about this and want to shout at a rich man should watch what they are saying. i think people should be gratefull for you for probably saving there arse by saying that quote. well i think the moral of the quote is if people want to shout at a rich man, they need to watch out for it just in case it bounces back right at them otherwise they will lose all their money and end up living on the street like a hobo hahahaha. i sooooo want to come to the show but i’m too young :( ohwell hope you make hem laugh loads which i’m sure you will seeya x
We’ll be there. Thanks for improving my life Tim :)
Sly and Reggie will be there.

“If a rich b*****d tells you to shut-up, you’d better shut the f**k-up or be prepared to go broke.”
Having sat through several libel conferences, seminars and training days, I can honestly say that this is the best, most accurate description I have ever heard!
Thanks for supporting us Tim, will be at TBLG :)
