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 just saying hi and happy newyear and congrats on the new dvd (i laughed my arse off watching it it was that funny). just wanted to know,is there any site where i can download so fucking rock cos’ i cant find it
Hi Tim, I have found my way to your website and now feel a little out of place amongst your correspondents as I realize that I have a son your age! I want to congratulate you most sincerely for a marvellous DVD, full of wit,insight,clever observations and not least loads of fun.It made my day and I have not stopped playing it. You are a very clever,multi-faceted young man with quite splendid musical ability.Thank you for the joy, I look forward to catching a performance in Perth oh and forget the cookies, my son is a winemaker with his own winery in the Perth Hills you are welcome any time!
All the best for 2008
Kit
Hi Tim,
Hope you had a great new years! May 2008 bring you even more success.
I recently became a fan after seeing you on Sideshow performing Rock and Roll Nerd and Angry (Feet). After seeing this I started watching Sideshow (even though now they have taken it off air… grr) and Spicks and Specks in a desperate attempt to see you again – however, i did not prevail.
Consequently (and this probably helped the sales outlook) i bought your dvd for myself and all of my friends for Christmas, enjoy the royalties there!
I have watched your dvd about 20 times now and I just can not get over how amazing you are – when people ask me your genre, i say “Tim Minchin” and they soon understand what I mean. Everything you do has such passion – how i wish i could play the piano like you! I love the way you make the audience feel as though they have known you forever, and how your eyes light up as you speak about you wife or baby. You are so damn smart that you take your acts to a new level and despte you always saying that you lack depth, the way your eyes withdraw when you sing Not Perfect (a personal favourite of mine) really shows you thinking about life and the greater complexities in which life holds. I hope to see you perform live soon, if you are coming to the Melbourne Comedy festival then i will be at all of your shows!
Have a safe and happy start to the new year and I hope to see you perform soon,
Sarah
Hi Tim, I love what you do and have just recently bought your DVD and I loved it. I invited everyone over and watched on New Years and we nearly all died laughing. You are great at what you do and I hope that 2008 brings you more success.
P.S My favourite of yours is ‘My Neighbours Ass’
Absolute genius
happy new year! lets bring on ’08! Tim, i hope u and ur family had a great new year, loking forward to seeing u next time u tour! (please make sure that u come to brissy!) rock on Tim, ur a legend mate!
Heyy Tim,
Happy new year matee. I recently got told about you from one of my good friends. You are the best piano player ever. I wish I could play like you. All I can play is chopsticks!
Also, I brought your So Live DVD and it is the most dvd I hav seen in a long time.
Anyways, I hope 2008 brings happiness for you and your family. Your a true legend.

TTTTTTTTTTT IIIII MMMM MMMM
TTTTTTTTTTT IIIII MMMMM MMMMM
TTTT IIIII MMMMMM MMMMMM
TTTT IIIII MMMMMMMM MMMMMMM
TTTT IIIII MMMM MMMMM MMMM
TTTT IIIII MMMM MMM MMMM
TTTT IIIII MMMM M MMMM
dammit it didnt work :( oh well at least it came out in a random kind of order to spell tim over and over again oh well
ok i have decided to write a comment to beat all comments its going to be an extra long one to try and fill some of my time that will get wasted on somthing else if i dont do this. If any of you have seen my myspace you would see that all my friends send me really long comments about stuff that they can think of until the cant do anymore and i do the same for them so now i am going to do a long message for tim, ok lets see i went to one of your concerts and was in the fourth row from the front i was still pretty close, you started off with so rock which had me in stitches but when you strated to play some of your other songs i was in a trance when you did about 60 minutes of stand up i laughed so hard i cried. i sung along to rock and roll nerd and these old people next to me kept staring at me like i was crazy but i didnt care, ever since you sund peace anthem for palestine my dad has been singing it all the time but as he is getting older he is getting all the lyrics messed up like “we dont eat PORK” but i dont care its almost the same. I am trying to think of more things to say but my mind has gone blank (as it usually does on fridays) ummmmmmmm ok i went to your concert with a friend and we wre the ones that laughed when you mentioned yvette cause we’ve seen your myspace, anyways after your show it hit me that you beleive in evoloution but how does that work? ok so we start as some sort of fish thing like you said and mutate but who created the fish? and if the fish evolved from somthing like a tiny lifeform what created that i mean they couldnt just appear from nothing if so who created nothing? hmm deep thinking always makes my brain hurt lol but that comes to think how would the first ‘fish’ know how to reproduce? how would it know what a girl fish is? mabye it was an accident like he might have tripped and fell over and over and over again, lol. Anyways i am wasting a whole lot of my time writing this so you better take the time to read it
i always go on youtube and i always seem to see that vid of you singing that donnie darko song which is pretty funny because that movie is not meant to be funny but you made it seem hilariouse by the way you sung it lol the funniest part was the end about myxomatosis and that took alot to make me laugh coz my pet rabbit billy died from that but it was still funny as hell. ok ummm im trying to think of other stuff to say but its hard ……. oh at your concert when you sung darkside you looked straight at me i think and when i waved you smiled. but i cant think of much more to say exept why did you move to london?i spent my whole life trying to find someone funny who was from perth and when i finally do you move half way across the globe. Do you know how frustrating that is lol. Anyway i think i have pretty much topped all the other comments so i think i will shut up now if you have read this far thanks for wasting your time reading the things that come to mind when im on this site and for lasting this long
hopefully now i will be up there with yvette and kristy so you better remember my name
Neeve
xx
READ THIS PLEASE!
my friend told me about u and was singing ur songs to me (while we were walking through the bush on this track with 13kg bags on coz we had to do it to get the bronze duke of edinburgh award it was funny we were attempting to skip but we couldnt coz of the bags u had to be there)and i luv them. u seem like such a kool guy whats your favourite song out of the ones u’ve written? Happy New Year! do u hav ne pets (random question). can u write a random song just for me about random things like apple sauce and citrus trees and golf balls and calculaters and camera cases and cook books. really random stuff like that. u dont have to if u dont want to. im bored. hav u ever played hide and seek in target. i suggest u do. did u use to or still play any sports i play soccer and futsal(indoor soocer) tis fun i luv it it helps waste my energy i have to much energy for my own good im almost always hypo. i love smiggle stuff its awesome my friend has this pencil case n you no the zip it just keeps goin till u dont have a pencil case any more its just a long zipper its kool the teacher took it off her coz she was throwin it out the window n pullin it back in again twas funny.
i m against drugs, smoking and underage drinking i think its stupid.
were you smart at skool? do u no how to speek any other languages? i love pomy-kiwi accents my friend has one its so kool. i think u should have a holiday in port macquarie NSW i live there/here visit me dont worry im not some weird over obsesed fan i probably sound like one but im not i see famous people as normal people who just act or sing or whateva and they wanna be left alone not bugged all the time everywhere they go. this probably not cuming across the way i want it to cum acroos u probably still think im obsesed and want to come across asif im not im just gonna shut up now lol bye xox
ok im back again after writing my insanly long comment that is more like a short story lol and giving anyone who reads this a chance to bask in my total and complete awsomness lol nah i just have nothing better to do then talk about random things that im thinking about and somtimes make very good points about them, I find it very weird how someone can become a fan of tim minchin because a friend was singing some of his songs but then again your songs are quite catchy! i cant remember how i first heard about you i think i heard your name somewhere and then your last name got stuck in my head because its really cool then i looked it up and found a vid on youtube and i laughed really hard and then i saw you on tv when i was watching a thing with peter helliar (who has a cool last name too its like hell liar) and then you came on singing hello and since 2006 ive been hooked to listening to all your funny songs. p.s. how did you become soo damb good at piano whenever i hear you play it makes me want to give up (but i cant because i have a hell good digital piano and i dont think it would be very smart to give up now) anyways i will post some more comments later when there is nothing good on tv and talk about even more random things
oh and yea come to perth again because my brother didnt get to see you and he really wants to
and i want to see you again aswell at your hometown the greatest part of australia ever Perth
Happy New Year to all
neeve

“highly intelligent, witty, grammatically-correct and aesthetically-sublime individuals”
Cripes, Tim. Have you checked the english in that chat room recently? I think you should drop your nifty comedy career and monitor it strictly 24/7. Just for me.
Loved your show, spesh the last song. It’s nice to see that you’ve become a bit schmaltzy in your old age.
Not cuz.x
Hi Tim, just thought I’d tell you, I think you’re great!!
I would love to be able to write a funny song like yours.
I play the piano a bit(had a few lessons, but now i’m trying to teach myself) and was just wondering what do you reckon is the easiest way to teach yourself?
…and incidently…where do you live, I would love to bring you cookies!!!
i just thought i would bring up that song that you wrote for your wife on the guitar that you sung at your concert (i cant remember what it was called) and how funny it was just looking at the audience because you could tell that everyone was thinking wow hes actually singing a real loves song thats not about an inflatable woman or somthing to do with revenge against an ex girlfriend with cockatoos and then at the end the faces were suddenly filled with shock when you said the words ‘freak accident’ and ‘terminal illness’ i laughed so hard and then everyone else did too it was soo perfect
Hi
My dad’s turned your DVD off while I was watching it, for the hundredth time. Then he made me clean my room (needed to be done anyway). I don’t think he approves of a lot of your songs. I don’t know how I’m going to get him to let me go to any of your shows anytime soon. Oh well. I’ll have to send him on a fishing charter on the day I intend to go. But of course, to go, I’ll need you to actually perform. Now this is gonna sound really familiar, but… 14th-18th January. I promise, if you do a show I’ll turn up and give you… something you like… um… what do you like?
That song was “Nothing Can Stop Us Now”, Neeve, and we should definitely start a campaign (is that how it’s spelt? I don’t have my Einstein brain switched on) to get him in Perth between my afore mentioned dates.
I first saw Tim on the Sideshow. pity it was cancelled. The ABC can’t do anything right.
If we can get him in Perth, then I’m heading straight for the front row. Anyone care to join me?
Neeve, you may have written the longest comment, but Ive writtn the most in a row. we should get to know each other. Don’t ask me why i said that but i think we’d get along well, apart from the seemingly opposite personalities. Youre too loud and…insane, i guess and im usually around quiet people but im too loud for them still how old r u? what u look like, lol im not some weird stalker but theres no way u can say that kinda stuff without sounding weird
what show were u on about when u said about the waving and tim smiling?
If anyone wants me ill be in my Myspace.
bye everyone!!!
Do you know where I’ll be in exactly 4 weeks time? I’ll be hanging round your merch stand in Glasgow like a bad smell with Hannah, waiting to give you your most awesome present. You will like it, or else… or else I’ll be hurt, and remember you wrote it down and promised that you’d never hurt me again. Yeah. Or else.
heyy i just wanted to say that you are the reason for finding th love of my life =] cheers! we love you xx
Hey Jim, with practise, I think you could become as good as Elton John one day :D
P.S. Are you doing anything in Aus in the near future? Keeping in mind that the word ‘near’ refers to any time in the next 12 months…
i luv you so much and in the last 1 or 2hrs i’ve sent u and email, left another comment on your site and this comment, downloaded photos tried to, download a couple of you videos (didnt work :(…) and copied as many of your song lyrics as i could!!! and tried to upload your dvd “so live” onto the comp! you are awesome and i wish i could talk to you in person…but i wouldnt know what to say as i’d be to nervous with shock and joy! i really hope i will one day! and i vowe to see you live one day and at least get your autograph please please pleas please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please write me an email or reply to this comment!! i beg you! taht would make my life so much better to get an email from you!!!!!!!!! love you tim xxx
Jesus, Tim. Your fans are scary nutters.
As good as Elton? Methinks he was there at about the age of four. Tim is God. Nice work with Amadeus too, your musical genius, aplomb and perspicacity cement your standing as nothing less than the modern day Mozart.
You are so fucking rock!
You are so god damn rock!
You are so mother-fucking rock!
Tim could have taught Elton John! Has anyone noticed how fast his fingers skim the piano’s keys?! He’s like lightning! I’d love to be able to play that well, but of course, I’m never going to.
xxoo Bye!
I’m probably not even old enough to listen to half of your songs but they’re still great, love “Inflatable You” thats my favourite.
Keep it up Tim.
Tommorow I am off to to shop for SO LIVE. Exciting I hope I find it. Hey um I have a fansite for you on MySpace and I have gotten requests to upload Dark Side but I cannot find it! Would you maybe pretty please with be able to post it up on this awesome site of yours? It’d be a real treat if you could be bothered :D
I can’t add you with my MySpace Fansite because the email is not verified…And I can’t get into the Email Account TO verify it! So maybe you could just check it out in spare time which I’d be surprised if you had any anyway.
http://www.myspace.com/timminchinfansite
Loving all your work.
You definetley know what you’re talking about, SO FUCKING ROCK!!!
Wow, good luck reading those Tim…
Might I say, in a rather pretentious way that I would think to be fan enough to make a fan site you would have bought darkside already… AND would recommend to others to do the same…
For all those who don’t know, Tim’s official fan site is http://www.angry-feet.com.
From there you can download material that’s not available to be bought. Pretty cool, huh?
Neeve has nothing on me, my messages are often longer than his, despite me trying my best to keep them brief :D anyway, how are you? It’s all been a bit quiet on the Timmy front recently. Hope you had a great christmas, good luck in Scotland, and remember to let us know what you’ll be doing for the rest of the year!x
Harlan how old are you. I’m only 14 but i own his So Live DVD.
I’d probably say I like Rock n Roll Nerd, Inflatable You and 10 Foot Cock the most, but everythings pretty close
I love all ur songs on so live i listen to it all the time and i gotta say its awesome. My fave song is Dark side and Canvas bags keep up the good work. By the way happy new year and i hope u have heaps of sucess.
Hey Tim! So Live rocks, you’ll always be my rock n roll nerd! oxo
Being a sheep just for the moment I think I need to follow the somewhat absurd tradition of wishing you a happy new year, a great 2008. Anyways I wont get caught up in all of that but I just though I would do the other corny thing of saying that I watched your dvd and then saw you live in Perth (Live at Maj extra extra show) and thought you were great even though the stool was unfortunate. Look mate I’m padding, you are up there with the great comedians of today, an all round family performer (Rowan Atkinson) with all you cutsie facial mannerisms, your great musical skill, you highly developed irony about everything especially about yourself and what you are taking part in self criticism is much lacked in the world (Guilt song= brilliant) You bring a fresh ironic self-critical funny and beautiful perspective one the world, much appreciated.
Where do you live? I wish to bring cookies.
Hello Tim!
Just to say i’m very impressed indeed with the snazzy new website :D (may or may not be *that* new…i may have been neglecting my fandom duties due to the evils of facebook or some such rot).
Hopefully i’ll be able to make it up to bonnie scotland for your gig on the first, you were sorely missed at the fringe last year :(
Hope you have a great 2008, Lara x
hey tim.. saw your show in colchester a little while back, visit again soon so i can come again and bring HUNDREDS of other people too!
have fun!
james

Hi Tim. Ive just heard that you’re gracing the TV screens of the UK on Jan. 24th on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. You have no idea how awesome this is. I’m ridiculously excited.
Me and my friends came to see your show in High Wycombe last February, and we giggled a lot. You could say we were a girly giggle machine. We’ll have t-shirts soon :)
STOP BEING SO GODDAMN GOOD AT EVERYTHING, YOU BASTARD.
HOW CAN ONE MAN PLAY PIANO LIKE A PIANO PLAYING GOD,
SING WITH THE VOICE OF A VERY MANLY ANGEL,
AND YET BE SO FUNNY THAT IT MAKES ME CHORTLE LIKE A GLEEFUL CHILD,
ALL AT THE SAME TIME?!
IT’S UNNERVING.
I’LL STOP TYPING IN CAPITALS NOW.
Hey Tim!
Really pleased to see things are really taking off for you. I saw your two Edinburgh festival shows in 2005 and 2006, they were very refreshing in their originality and integrity. There were great – I spread the word amongst my mates and everyone enjoyed your talents as a comedian, performer and musician.
Just got myself a couple of tickets for your show on 1st Feb here in Edinburgh – taking my Mum (that could be fun – depending on your new songs!). Could you please bring up a supply of your DVDs and Cds as I can’t see to find copies for sale in UK? Your web site is shipping them from Oz, which is a little expensive.
Anyway I hope you enjoy your tour and things go from strength to strength.
Cheers,
mark
Tim where do you live? Can I actually bring you cookies? Like little human shaped ones?
…You’re not going to be at the melbourne international comedy festival…… :'( shame, my bro and i have been having fights about who is more awesome between you and ross noble… i almost have him persuaded to you!!
Make sure you come to Aus again soon, and enjoy america!! I would love to hear you talking about religeon over there!!
Sarah
ps: if this sense makes drunk, you’re still shirt
Sorry :(

Hey, I was just wondering where all the canvas bags have gone?…me and a couple of freinds want to buy some (together, to save on the postage =D). My brothers going to see you in Edinburgh in feb, and im stuck in Oman,so i am uber-jealous. Anyway, thanks, oh and your great (just not as great as CHLOE or JADE, because they are the sexiest hunks of beef around). Cheers xxx
WE NEED YOUI BACK IN AUSTRALIA!! LOOKING OVER YOUR “GIG GUIDE” THERE IS NOTHING BOOKED FOR US IN 2008.
PLEASE COME HOME
Hiya Tim.
How are you?
I will come and bring you cookies, i mean Oman is a long way to come from but it would be worth it!!
Hey are you doing any Gigs in England?? preferably near manchester lol oh and in summer?? ( when im back )

You know how in your darkside song it says.. “it doesnt appeal to the teenage market”… I can prove you wrong there… there are 3 your amazing fans lol here in Oman, yes we havent been bombed yet, Touch wood ( i find it extemely good luck hehe :) ) Becca, Chloe and me… i love them and we ABSOLUTALLY LOVE YOU!!!
I still remember the time when i first found out about you… my life became complete! hehe … it was on a wednesday afternoon, im sure you’ve probably heard this all before, from chloe but anyways… and becca just randomly said search this guy .. Tim Minchin .. he rocks! So we had your name written on our arms in big just to make sure we didnt forget! yes what an absolutally life changing story … but IT was… :) hehe
Lots of love and luck ( touch lots of wood! I am not mental it works ..most of the time for me ) hehe … Jade
P.s: You have converted me into an absolute Piano addict :) I love you for it! YOU ARE GOD!! . An absolute Legend to us all!
hey tim im a 13 year old kid from a small town in westchester and you have quite abunch of fans here that range from 12-like 50 or how ever old my friends dad is. and at your first performance in nyc you made a coment on how the show was sold out and you saw empty seats…… ya we acidently bought 6 to many. and i also loved that you made fun of my brother about mixin up phyciatris and phycologist. anyway we loved your gig so much we are seeing you agian on march 3rd. Tim you are a compelling writer and i ask you to please keep writting. rock on from the kid with a mohawk
Hey Tim,
Just watched the episode of Never mind the Buzzcocks, thought you was awesome. Now been on the net listening to your music, and i think it totally rocks, You are such a talented person. I would so bring you cookies, heck i’ll even make them myself. Don’t worry they’d be excellent tasting. Want to know when or if you are doing a full tour in the Uk, like in London or dare i say it…Gloucester. I can’t get enough of your sound now that i have heard it. Hope you are having a fantastic day. Rock on.
I think it’s a shame that you’re doing so many gigs in New York City, when there’s a perfectly good York city here in England. Sure, it might not be as new, and the buildings aren’t so big but they’ve got much more character. Last time you were coming to near York (it might actually have been in York) the gig was cancelled.
Anyway, I just watched not perfect on youtube and it made me happy. Keep it up, and I hope you crack America even though their buildings lack character.
Lo there tim. I got your ‘So live’ DVD for christmas. which is nice as i asked for it.
ten foot cock, not perfect, are masterful
keep writing songs and such.
i have a feeling that if you dont, the universe will stop working…
Hey Tim, just to say I thought you were awesome on Buzzcocks! Please do some more gigs in England because Scotland and New York are too far for a poor student like myself! If you agree to these gigs I will give you a basket of fruits.
Much love.
I just finished watching So Live for the fourth time
Have almost memorised all the words
and then i googled you
Here i am at the best website ever
might visit the forum next
woot
Dont stop writing dude, world wouldnt be the same without you. nuff said.
P.s. Come to the dark side, we have cookies XD.
Tim,
First saw you on The Slideshow and couldn’t work out if you were extremely disturbed or extremely talented????
Have watched your new DVD for the third time and am kicking myself that I missed your Brisvegas show in December.
Don’t ever stop doing everything that you do!
Happy New year matey.
You’re A Genius!!
You’re an absolute genius and were hilarious on Never Mind The Buzzcocks!
Keep doing what you do!
xxx
Woo! I’m going out to NYC for about 6 months to study so I’m blatantly coming to see you at the New World Stages. ROCK. Also, I feel you have severely reduced my capacity to study: yesterday I was writing notes on Kwashiorkor and realised it was peppered with the phrase ‘Happy Little Africuns’ throughout. Bah! Poor playstation-less things.
Keep up the educationally-detrimental-o-tastic work!
hey tim since i played your song canvas bag to my family we have bought over 10 reusable bag and use them whenever possible so it does work it should be played at supermarkets
you are the best singer and writer ever you have hade me crying with laughter at your songs and depressed i can’t write songs as well please tell me when your doing a gig anywhere near the north east of england
P.S

Your comedy and music is fantastic, I am a newly converted mincher(?!). I wanted to leave a note to say that, and also, the cowboy boots you are wearing on the main page of this site are fucking hawt man.
Sam, Liverpool xxxx
I like you ^_^
I haven’t actually left a comment on here yet… so hi. I’m pretty obsessed with You Grew On Me at the moment… and Mitsubishi Colt. That’s really special. But then that figures. :)
Love x
Just like to say you rule mate !
Saw you at leeds , LEGEND
1) why cant us little brits buy the canvas bags? why only the aussies? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let us, we will save the planet if you let us:)
2) tell me that if by some miracle you decide that us nice brits DO get to buy the canvas bags, they don’t come all packaged up in shitty plastic. it would by horrid and morbidly ironic :S
3) do more gigs in the UK or i will lick your face. you have been warned. :P
thankies

tim is my main inspiration. he put my faith back into music and comedy. im really looking forward to seeing him this weekend in glasgow =)
i can only say i wish him nothing but success for the future and hope he changes peoples attitudes towards life the way he has changed mine :)
HEY I know that you get stuff like this all the time and you probably won’t read this and that you think im no different to all the other people here
and i know im not your biggest fan
but i think you are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I love all your stuff and everything about you is just amazing. You are the best piano player i have ever seen, and you have an amazing voice. Also very f-ing funny!! There is more, but it will sound insencire. I reckon youre also really hot *blushes* hee hee! (I am a girl.. by the way)
you are a true inspiration to me, and youre look reminds me of a cross between marylin manson and bill bailey!
please send me an email, please anything! i would love to talk to you, and i really want to see your shows. I really hope you are able to set me apart from all the other people who say exactly these things, that would be a dream come true.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
you can’t go to new york for all that time! you’ll fall in the love with the city and never come back to the uk and everything will be slightly pants from now own. I think you should instead do many more gigs in Cardiff so i can see you all the time.
Thank You come again!
i seem to have developed a semi-obsession with you/rwork since i first heard it.
you need to play in Philadelphia. okay, well maybe you dont /need/ to, per se, but it would be so fantastically awesome you have no idea.
music + humour + some amount of reasonable intelligence = what makes the world okay some days
keep it going
im hooked
ps. we’d be such awesome friends (wow, i sound like such a stalker) i havent had my morning dose of that nectar of gods known as… yes, coffee.
please, bear with
I agree with Linzy…I like you too! I don’t think I’ll bother bringing you cookies. I’m still offering that winning smile, though :P
I like you too (don’t want me to be left out!)
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE come to London :-) Desperate to see you in the flesh!! :-)
Please come back to Wycombe! :D Your girly giggle machine all miss you. :( xXx
I’ve immediatly become a tad obsessed with you. I was thinking about taking up stalking, but then realised I haven’t really got the creepy, worn stalker look about me. I think you should come to “beautiful” Birmingham and do lot’s of gigs in my living room.
x
You make me laugh :)
Being an American fan, I’m afraid I’ll be holding off going to see you live until I’m 18 and not completely broke.
That may very well be never, but we can cross our fingers, can’t we?
Tim, go update your forum link. Angry Feet is moving with the times it’s now (more) fancy, (still) purple, (ultra) connectified and whatnot.
I just watched that interview you did for The Tank vodcast. SO HOT. I’m joking – it’s really interesting, insightful and thought-provoking stuff; from yourself, the interviewer and, you know, us Angry Feet people. I couldn’t tell whether you were absolutely loving talking about these things, or feeling a bit uncomfortable… maybe a bit of both? It must be hard being simultaneously a clown and someone who wants to talk about important things. It’s a line you walk so well, though, and what all the best comics do all the time, I guess.
Anyway, I also wanted to flag up a programme that was on a few days ago called What On Earth Is Wrong With Gravity? It’s really mind-blowing stuff – but delivered with such enthusism! It also made me think that it’s so arrogant to assume that the universe that we can see is the biggest thing that there is – the biggest baboushka doll. I know you’re kinda busy over the next few days but I hope you’d find it fascinating.

I think I quite fancy you although you look like a mix between Russell Brand and Leigh Francis. Thanks.
