A true original. Thank you for sharing your genius with the world; you’ve made a lifelong fan out of this American lady
My Aunty in the UK went to get her grandson a copy of ‘You so F*****g Rock’ she couldn’t bring herself to say the word to ask for it so she phoned her daughter and got her to say it over the phone!!!
My daughter turned me on to you and said, “Don’t you think grandma would have liked him?” The answer was, “Yes, she would have loved him!” My mom was a professional piano player and her favorite stuff to play was silly, old songs from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, but especially parodies. I grew up listening to her play crazy, little, unknown tunes, then sharing with my friends. I have so missed her and can’t begin to thank you enough for working hard to become famous so you could share this great musical niche.
I’m an agnostic in southern Oregon, USA…Maybe , I’m the only one. Today, I listened to White wine in the sun. It was the first time since I played it to the most wonderful Mum a man could ask for. She left this earth, last January. No, I don’t know where she went. But she sure did love that song. I played it for her last Christmas, when she was so ill. I just want to tell you thank you, for putting a smile and a tear to both of our faces.
I bought a park, this summer. No, its a first for me. I bought it, because Mum would have wanted me to. Mum used to swim there, with all us kids, in the best swimming hole in Oregon. . I’m naming it Merete’s Cove after my Mum.Its one of the worlds most beautiful places. I’m trying to build a beautiful bandstand there. Mum loved music. I welcome you to sing there someday. I know its a little crazy. But including you, there would be at least two Atheists near the stage. Three including my sweet daughter, Brook, who also loves your music. Maybe I dream too big……. Either way, My family will be listening to white wine in the sun, this Christmas, and thinking of Mum.
Hi Tim – My wife and I saw you in Thousand Oaks on Saturday and said “hello” afterwards. We’re the couple from Phoenix who mentioned to you that I played piano and sang at her over the Internet and in return she married me. Pretty good trade, honestly. We made it back safely, by the way. Anyway I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for such a fantastic show, and your transformative influence on my life. I’m very very very happy to be able to say that I shook your hand, and I’m very very very sad that I declined to be in the picture that you took with my wife. Come back soon!

Hey Tim&Co.
I first saw u(tim) @ moorabbin town hall in 05 and was soooooo fu***ng impressed-u r a genius. My sister thinks ur weird and even though i sort of agree, i still think u r awsome-kEEP IT UP.
Hey hey tim, the donut shop that I work at (Puffin Fresh Whitfords City, Perth) just started distributing Canvas Bags. Well not canvas as such, but those big reusable hard plasticy ones. I’m not too sure what they’re actually made of, but I’m very glad, because I was previously getting told off by my boss for not offering customers plastic bags to put their multiple donuts in. ‘It can’t be that hard to just *carry* them, guys, Do it for the environment.’ But apparently there’s no room for environmental friendliness in the world of donut retail.
Well g2g, I’m off to work :D
was the photographer at your radio recording at the drill hall london on the 2 nov which was great fun…loved the song about pigs very funny,hope to catch a show at the duchess got some great shots for the bbc too!!!!
To Blake:
I really meant that i dont think
We get circumsised
You get circumsised
Why not get circumsised togethor would sound as good as.
We dont eat pigs etc.
Maybe i was wrong…
Your music has been with me through some tough times in America. I am a Black woman. I don’t have much hope for changing my stars. But hearing your excellent voice rock n rolling my troubles away… at least for a day… keeps me sane. I know you do the same for millions around the world. It was my birthday a few days ago. I turned 46. I hope to see you live again before I reach 50. I promised my niece (she’s always challenging me) that I would chase one dream this year. I hope I don’t sound too weird when I say, I want to sit in that future audience of Minchin fans and scream my head off for you again. My humble dream. Much love from Portland, Oregon USA.
Thanks for the positive in this sea of controversy. I liked your message so much I bought the book!
Hi Tim. Mike from Tampa here. Once you hit 70, you start thinking of things you’d like to do while you still can. My daughter and I saw your NYC TM & his Piano and London Songs the World Will Never Hear shows. Hard to to top that. Then it hit me. Dream big! Would you consider bringing back your Royal Albert Hall Orchestra show? I’m a tennis player. Your NYC and London shows coincided with the US Open and Wimbledon. It was much easier selling going across the pond to my velp, if I also got to attend one of the majors. Thanks. Mike
I’m thankful you came to Toowoomba. Watching real people with really amazing talent was a blast of fresh air, blowing away the junk that builds up from scrolling. Phew, you came in time. Thanks again xxxx
Dearest Tim, I just wanted to post a thank you / congratulations, to you and your team on the end of your tour; the gig in Toowoomba was the perfect finale! Thank you for sharing your new work with us tonight, we could all see what it meant to you, although I did have a pretty good view of your celebratory Hi-5 during the next number. I am just hoping that tonight you felt the love of an entire generation of students, from one of those special tax exempt organisations, here in Toowoomba. Starting them with ‘Storm’ in the middle years Philosophy elective, and always ending with your UWA speech for the Yr 12’s…I’m not saying that you are a ‘tool’, but you know what? You were a great tool! Someone, whose intelligence and wit opened the eyes of a generation, and more importantly, gave hope to those who thought, or were at a minimum, interested in thinking… Love your work – its importance simply can’t be measured!
Hi Tim, I was listening to White Wine in the Sun again today. It pops up in my social media memories all the time because I’ve shared it so much over the years. My Dad really loved Christmas — he loved having everyone around him. He passed away in 2019, on the 17th of December, at 80 years of age. He just wanted to make it to one more Christmas. Upright came out that same month. The song Carry You, and the series itself, absolutely broke me… but somehow carried me through as well. I don’t think I really grieved in the way I expected to until this year. Suddenly, it’s hitting me like a train.I really miss him. This Christmas it will be just my Mum and me. I’m towing my little 1986 Viscount caravan up to the lake at Wooroonook, Victoria, to try to make something meaningful of the day for her. She’s 81 now and struggling to get around. My brother, sister-in-law, niece, nephew, and even my sons won’t be there. It’s going to be a hard one. Christmas just doesn’t bring me joy anymore. But still, I’ll sip white wine in the sun, think of my Dad, and try to make a happy memory with Mum — because I know her time is drawing close too. I just wanted to say thank you. Your music has a way of touching people at their deepest places, and these songs have been a part of my healing more than you could know. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and I hope you keep writing the kind of music that reaches people when they need it most. Thank you ~ Megan xo
Dear Tim. We went to your concert in Canberra tonight. We have to drive 2 +1/2 hours and stay overnight. It was very well worth that effort. There were many moments that made us laugh and cry and think deeply about my life and where to from here. We are in our senior years and enjoyed it all immensely. We have followed your career from the beginning and as rusted on nerds will continue to do so. I saw Matilda the musical live in Sydney and enjoyed that very much. Would love to see Groundhog if it comes our way. Thanks again for all the music and the chat. Loved it all. Love to you and your family. Coral
I saw your show in Brisbane on Friday with my partner. I have never seen a crowd so obedient to putting their phones down. We all desperately wanted to photograph the real life Tim Minchin for ourselves. Many took the sneaky blurry shots that will forever be the bragging point over Christmas dinner. The recovery from accidentally entertaining the comedian in the crowd, to the perfectly balanced sound was amazing. Thank you for giving us almost an hour of extra entertainment. Absolutely worth it. I’m so glad I saw this before seeing Metallica tickets. It would have been a hard choice. Probably would have still chosen you. This is a big tick on my life bucket list.
Hi Tim. Mike from Tampa here. My daughter and I loved yer show at the Apollo. Matilda at Cambridge there’s… no words. The London sites and a day at Wimbledon after 7 hours on the que. Could’ve been perfect, butt…You didn’t do Airport Piano, so this is all your fault. I had to do it. I’m a 70, mediocre singer, though energetic and enthusiastic. I sang Airport Piano at Karaoke last night. Sounds ok but… I live in a nudist resort. My 70 y/o 140lb nekid scrawny bod singing my favorite song. I’d include a vid, except cameras are not allowed…
Hi. I just wanted to say. I’m finally listening to “Time Machine” (I was going to do it sooner, but it felt so weird to do so right after Tom died. I felt like I had to listen to him for awhile first). And I got to The Song of The Masochocist… and broke down crying. When “Apart Together” came out it was not a good time. For anyone really. I’m in the US and it was just. SO BAD. And then that album came out and I listened on repeat. And it made things better. I would just lay in bed as it felt like we were in the 10th, 11th, 12th month of the apocalypse and would cry as songs like “The Absence of You” comforted me against the absence of the WORLD. Because that was it, the whole WORLD was a hole and it was missing and everything was horrible. And “Apart Together” was what kept ME together. And listening to “Time Machine”, 4 tracks in, and I broke down sobbing because I had somehow forgotten just how much hearing your music when I’m in a dark place, like I am again, can just mend me and make it ok. Even for a little bit. And I had always hoped someday I could tell you that in person but, I’m an American, nope, so here I am. Anyway, thanks. For putting this box here and for making all the music you do. I’ve been listening for a long time, and you’ve gotten me through so much. Thank you for everything.
This is silly because I don’t really think you will read it in person but I still want to say Thank you for saving my marriage! We’ve been through a lot and there are so many times I’ve just wanted to walk away from everything. It took me a long time to discover you (since I live in Sweden where “everyone” says “Heh, Tim who?”) but the two first songs I heard were White wine in the sun (which reminded me of the importance of family) and Not perfect (which reminded me that I am pretty nice and can stand myself). Your rock ‘n’ roll nerding makes me happy and your love songs make me sad and happy at the same time and I confess the huuuuge confirmation biases ? My 50th birthday was coming up and I felt trapped, old and unloved. I thought about spending it in Paris all by myself. Then you unveiled your UK tour! Bam! I bought tickets to Edinburgh and told my husband that he could come with me if he promised to try to understand WHY I really had to go and he was not allowed ruin it! He prepared by listening to the songs and our kids gave him “clues and keys to mummy” and he nailed them all. I haven’t felt so loved in years! And to be there seeing and hearing you live, sharing tears of laughter and touched hearts, feeling his eyes on me when I was ALIVE for the first time in years and holding his hand to all the lovesongs (including the boobs ?)… yes, you saved us. Thank you ??
…and here is the rest…

Hey Tim, don’t suppose you received some obscure junk mail about buying comedy tickets at a ‘greatly reduced price’ did you, only I’ve got some random mail about buying a Steinway at a ‘greatly reduced price’ after I bought tickets to your show and I can’t help feeling they got that the wrong way round!
See you next week :)

‘s’all class! smexy sexy. shiney happy people=us. louise is crazy…cold and flu medication+sleep deprivation makes me…different……*head collapses on keyboard with loud BANG*
No Fringe this year Tim? This upsets me greatly. The Guilded Balloon just won’t be the same…
You better be there next year so i can spend all of my newly obtained student loan travelling up and seeing you. :)
Tim, loving the show in Liverpool last night but when are you coming to Manchester – we miss you here!!!! xxxx
Look Tim! Pictures!
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Tim+Minchin&w=95071794%40N00&ss=2&ct=6
(If you replace Tim with Mickey then theres a direct quote for English Caroline there!)
130 pics … I strolled upon them whilst reading other peoples conversation (it’s what I do when no one will talk to me and I have work to do)
Hope you’re well and that you do another show near me so that I can go (or have enough time to plan travel/save up for travel)
XxX
HAHAHA!! Yes, if you slip in a LOG quote i’ll sniff it out soon enough, even if the quote is a kind of reference to a quote in passing…
Tim, if you haven’t already done so, I urge you to check out The League Of Gentlemen- don’t you agree Blip, Paws, and any other LOG fans?
Yeah, I did a flickr search for Tim pics and found those too. I have a rather cool black and white as my desktop. Or I did, it’s now a pic of Reeves and Mortimer wearing tweed. Some of my own pics are tagged with Tim on flickr, well the Canvas Bag Trip ones.
Umm…I’ve gotta go to bed now.
Oh and I agree with Clare- Manchester shows are good shows to do. You’ve gotta love us Northerners….
If you do happen to see any League Of Gents, please be assured not all Northerners are mass-murdering, incestuous, and toad obsessed…that’s just the more cultured among us…
Oh my god! Love you for posting that link!
Fucking awesome
PS. Tim, how do you ALWAYS manage to be so fucking sexy!?!
…yet so incredibly cute!!!
im with sarah- thank you so much for the timmy link!!!! i couldnt find any pictures- UNTIL NOW!!! mwhahaha i see many more photoshop peices apearing….
i love you tim. your so pretty.
(and i heart blip for the link of tim)
Argh thank you soooo much for that link! I do believe that all the photos that say “twells” are from the gig I saw him at in Tunbridge Wells, yay hehe real live photos of when I actually saw him! There’s one crowd shot but I can’t spot myself in it, I think I was sitting a bit further back.
Oh, I miss seeing him *sigh* Tim, are you coming back soon?
I do believe that may be the first spam I’ve seen on here. Not that there hasn’t been any before, I’ve just not been quick enough to spot it. Viagra, anyone?
No, i saw some a few weeks ago encouraging us to check out a porn website thing.
oh thats right! i forgot about that one smoky. errrr, john, you ok??
(does anyone know who john is….?)
John was probably just so overcome by tims brilliance he fainted with joy, landing on the computer keyboard.
smoky: my thoughts exactly!!!! lol!!!
and yes i agree with everyone on the timmy picture links.. i just about passed out when i saw the pictures i was like speechless for a couple of minutes..and then i couldn’t put two words together for about an hour after that
MAS!!! Tim is so SEXY!!!! wat with all of his bohemiam coats, shoeless feet, fancy shirts, wild untamed hair (including facial hair, and otherwise; i leave it up to ur imagination), and just plain sexyness.. ARGGHHHH!! (tim is sexy)
well thats all
love to all.
p.s Tim is sexy
Come back to Australia Timmy, we miss you!
I would hug you if you released some sheet music or chords of your songs – please do!
grr…. this page is so boring…nothing ever happens… no new comments ever from anyone… especially Tim… :'(
or blogs for that matter…
mas…sorry about that, i was ranting… im over it now tho.. although a Tim blog might cheer me up… *hint hint..*
byyyeeeeeeeeee.. xox
p.s. I got a new Tim comment on myspace… :P
Although this us pharmacy urinalysis xanax does heavy only regard the enlightened amendment,
it illustrates that ruled states dress providing amphetamine
Tim, who deletes spaam on your website?
Is it you?
i really don’t know how this site can be boring when there is a picture of tim on every page :P
in other news, i finally have access to some of the stuff you did on mark watson’s radio show…… exceptional as usual. :D
a fair point, Blake… tim is very sexy..and the picture is very amusing…!!
i love this page…its right after myspace on my list of favourite sites
Tim!
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted anything. Hope all is well with you and family. The hubby won a trip through his job to Los Angeles with all expenses paid by HBO… long story short.. we had a fab time living it up and on the last night there, HBO hosted a posh dinner for all of us and we got to meet one of the head honchos in charge of Comedy specials/series etc. I couldn’t help myself and asked how HBO went about choosing comedians for specials… told her I was a huge fan of the one and only Tim Minchin. She was psyched and said that they indeed had their eye on you and were hoping to head to Edinburgh this year.
Now of course I am nothing more than a peon with a husband who won a trip from HBO… and she could have considered me to be nothing more than a mad fan but I had to tell her how much your US fans would love to see you in your own special. It was very cool to see that she indeed knew about you AND wasn’t just nodding at me… she mentioned a few of your songs… which of course saved her from having me shove the earphones from my iPod at her so she could listen to your tunes.
TTFN
Keep laughing
Jerzy… good job at recommending Tim!!!
we need to see him on a few more tv specials!!! i miss seeing Tim… he’s so pretty…
ooh more tim on tv, that would be nice. oh and alex, if your wondering why its been quiet, alot of people are logging on at the tim forum. thats were all the action is right now. you should join, if you havent already.
