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…

I think Storm is one of the strongest declamations I have ever experienced. You managed to express your despise for hippy-anthropology undergraduate-students perfectly! Hahahaha
My mother-in-law considers herself a psychic (a medium?) of the Kardecist Spiritism mass-craziness and is one of those incredibly sick people who think they can talk to the dead. What makes me sad is that she has a Ph.D. in microbiology in the best Brazilian university! She should illuminate humankind, that’s what we expect of scientists… After listening to Storm I HAD to send her the song and the lyrics. I think my relationship with her daughter will suffer from now on a series of interventions but it’s worthy it! Hahahaha
Have you ever watched What the bleep do we know? You could satirize the Ph.D. who makes pseudo-science in your upcoming film, that’d be great, really.
It’s nice to see real intelligent life in the humour-music-acting-stand_up world. Congratulations, Tim. I’m sure you find your work fulfilling and satisfying in every way.
Good luck with the Storm film, I’ll watch it for sure.
PS: sorry for the crappy English.
This is my Perth.
And I live in it.
It’s one third beach, and two thirds sand-dune
And it never really draws the bands, like other cities in the land
And no-one ever seems to really care…
But here’s the really weird thing
When I saw your gig-guide listing
I couldn’t stop the sadness flooding in.
This is my Perth, and it’s fine.
It’s where musicians spend the least amount of their time
It’s not perfect
But it’s mine.
It’s not perfect…
(I missed all of your 2009 shows (was out of the country), hoping you’ll be back in Perth soon!)
I think I have my first crush since being 13!…you are amazing and though I don’t agree with all your views I admire your passion and intellect. ‘prejudice’ is uncomfortably clever
your piano skills, mesmerising
your eye liner, dark
lucky wife
Just wondered how many millions it would cost me to request a photo session with Tim!? I am a new portrait photographer based in Norwich, UK and a HOOOOOGE fan, I have a burning ambition to do a portrait of him… alas I suspect he can have his pick of top photographers- hey you dont know if you dont ask!! Any chance!?
Mr Minchin, I’m an antipodean living in the UK now and discovered you over a year ago on Buzzcocks, became increasingly obsessed before I realised it was the eye liner that did it for me (this I have dealt with appropriately and welcomed it into my life) and now thoroughly enjoy what you do and how you do it. I have a deep admiration for your work, Not Perfect is an anthem of mine a sort of ‘life song’, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know I have passed you on to others who have received you well! I would very much love to see you in my local town of Bournemouth, so am keeping an eye on your gig lists. I hope you find the need or want to visit the UK again, and maybe if I’m lucky you’ll be presenting yourself in a town near me. You see I can’t afford the tickets to Aus myself for a while yet….Anywho, congrats on who you are and your beautiful family, lucky chap!
I saw your ready for this tour twice while you were touring the uk and each time it was amazing.
please tour the uk again soon! probablly the best gig i have ever seen!
love it!
I don’t usually do stuff like this, but Tim Minchin is one of the few rare exceptions. I only became familiar with his material tonight, and I already have nothing but utmost respect for this man and his courage to mock taboo subjects and tell things as they are. “Ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins” and the “good book” are absolutely brilliant, and it is always nice to see a such a well-informed atheist succeeding in this world. It gives me hope that future generations may actually look up to intelligence and discard ancient superstitious traditions. I love the references to the Quran, genesis and Ezekiel, and I love that he had the balls to say the truth in front of such large audiences.
If you’re reading this, Tim, thank you for doing what you do, please come to Canada some time, and don’t let up on the religious satire.. I love it!
Hey Tim!
I love your inventive songs, and you sense of humour.
Are you doing a Europe tour next? Or do I have to drag my lazy ass to England?
Hey Tim.Hello.I would like to inform you that you have two loyal funs in greece!!We are near a small city called ierapetra,crete and we enjoy your shows…on you tube…well,we cant have it all.So we expect to see you around here…in the very distant future!Dont worry there are at least 5 more who speak english(not so sure if they understand them…) so you gonna have a crowd if you come!Keep up the good work!!
dear Tim.
i am a massive fan of yours down under in Tasmania but i was rather dissapointed when i looked on your dates for the Aus tour for Ready for this? And saw you weren’t coming to our great state.
but no matter what I’m still going to be a faithful tim minchin fan, look out for me at one of you Melbourne concerts, i’ll be eaisy to spot, i’ll be sporting your hair style!
I discovered you several weeks ago, ever since, i play your songs on the train everyday! I hope you tour to berkshire one day, you should soo do a musical with your songs, it would be brilliant! Look at Avenue Q, it’s soo good, and your songs have the same kind of humour! Although I know you are doing Matilda at the moment, good luck with that, I’m going to see it as soon as it hits the West End (which I’m sure it will!)
I found ya on youtube because a friend of mine recommended me to watch Storm. Great.
I’ve watched everything I could find on youtube, but I hope you will come to holland once so I can see you live.
you should come here to Iceland
We need a comedian here
somehow i end up with at least two or three of your songs every day. before i go to bed and after i get up, then another one for breakfast and so on. probably more than three. yes. come to think of it. perfect that there are some to download here. made my day, cause australia is a bit far away to buy the dvds from there ( wouldnt work on my dvd set anyway i reckon. however, tim your great. thanks from germany.
Hey TIMMEY,
what is it u don´t play in brisi.
Hope to see u in Brisbane in february, too.
Thx Mate.
Oh and do not forget to bring your canvasbag.
Hi Tim, (I dunno how much of this you actually read or are interested in) but I just wanted to voice my opinion! Unfortunately I am not talented enough to voice it through witty lyrics and unbelievable piano skills! I was completely unaware of you until a few weeks ago and now I am addicted! I love Peace Anthem and Canvas Bags! My favourite is Mitsubushi Colt – that is such an intelligent and clever piece of work. Your songs (Some People Have It Worse) brighten up my day and really make me laugh out loud. I REALLY hope you are hitting the Fringe in Edinburgh this year. I read somewhere that you were there before and am kicking myself that I didn’t check you out. I don’t even have an excuse as I am from Edinburgh and live there! Anyway, on the off chance you do read this I think you are phenomenal. x x x
Hey Tim.
I met ‘Storm’ in a pub last week. She carries a bit of wood everywhere and claims that it is 10,000 years old.
“It keeps away evil spirits”, she told me.
“Cool, do they do one to keep away freaky weirdos”, I replied.
At this point she seemed confused, as this sounded like I was taking the piss. Surely not!
Malvern theatres is a little, well you know, theatre situated in Malvern (you probably have heard of Malvern Water) and I can guarantee a great crowd (even if it’s the same crowd)…
Me and mates herald you as a god!
Tim Tim Tim Tim Tim! Hello…national tour and no Hobart?!! So very disappointed :( Please please please come down here soon. You have such a massive following here and the opportunity to see you live would make even the manliest of them pee their pants a little ;) Look forward to watching you on GNW
I watched ‘So Fucking Rock’ on DVD last night and it’s the best thing I have seen in a very long time. I spent most of the two hours curled up in fits of laughter, nodding in agreement with your point of view. The, I found myself in tears listening to ‘Not Perfect’. Such a touching song and I was glad to see, from close-ups of the audience, that I’m not the only one it gets to. My fifteen year old daughter watched it with me and found it just as funny as I did, which is wonderful – sharing humour always is.
So, now, on my list of things I simply MUST do, is see a Tim Minchin show live. Music, comedy and insightful genius – what a combination!
Take good care x
Hello Tim! How are you?
I just wanted to drop by here to give you a cyber pat on the back. I love your work! It’s brilliant! I love the lyrics, the melodies, all of it! & Your hair. I want to steal it, :D.
I was just wondering, I hear you have played in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire? Nearish to London? If so, would there be any chance of you playing there again? I would love you to come by, it would be fantastic! You can come round to my flat for a coffee, kit kat break & a chinwag.
I’m a big fan of yours, and hope to have the chance to see you live soon! Best wishes!
Rose. xxx
I just ordered “So f**king Rock” and I’m really really looking forward to watching the DVD in a few days. It’s just incredible how emotionally you sing your songs! I know, it sounds quite stupid but you’re simply a genius! btw: I just saw your live performance of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” on youtube – awesome version, one of the best covers there are of this song, if you ask me (and there are a lot)!!
Well, I hope I get to see one of your concerts someday when you do a tour in europe. Best wishes!! Manu
Tim!
You’ve said you write using the mind, not the heart, and I’m interested to know, was it an intentional structural irony or by happy coincidence that you happened to use beat-poetry when writing Storm? It’s just that the hippie culture evolved from beat-poetry and beatnicks in the 1950s… It seems the perfect format for such a narrative and I’d like to know…
Cheers!
Stu
hehehe :D can i join you on your south australian submarine with a glass bottom and a cat flap? we would be like ” zoom zoom zoom”
and on another note, when is the storm movie expected?
Hi Tim, I love your music :) but I’m sad because I think that even if You would go on the tour through Europe You would propably miss my country (Poland) :C But I am going to listen you and watch your dvd’s anyway :) Kocham Cię Tim! :D
When you comming back to the UK! fucking love your shows went to see “Ready for this” twice :)!
Hey there singer person. A friend introduced me to a computer that had a smaller version of you singing songs. And it turns out that you sing the same songs as that one! Small world. I’m far from the first to say this but I’m very impressed how your work can be so comical, beautiful, intelligent and deep at the same time. I found myself in tears of laughter and frustrated that there was nobody for me to show “Storm” to after I first watched it at two in the morning. There is not a single word of “Storm,” “If I Didn’t Have You,” and “Not Perfect” (to name a few) that I disagree with. Thanks and I hope to see you in the US some time soon.
Love all your songs but my favourite two are confessions and prejudice. lol. When are you coming back to the UK. Really want to see you live?
Carrie
Tim, I think your very funny. Unfortunately none of your DVD’s can be played on USA format players. is there any chance of them being released in USA format? I would love to buy them all.
Tim! Me again haha…
Please come to perth to do a gig on march 13, it will be my birthday =]
Love you long time! =D
Hii Tim! I really hope you’re coming back to the UK soon for some touring. I’ve managed to get a few friends hooked on your material, as well as pining to play piano, which I’m not sure is good or not. None the less, I know you can make it as a musical comedian. I hope you and your family are well, Sarah is a very lucky woman (and extremely beautiful from what I’ve seen). Keep it Rock, Sir!
Love from Canada(:
Just recently introduced to your fab brand of comedy/weirdness when caught your show on TV over Christmas. Can’t wait for you to visit the UK so we can catch you live. As you no doubt realise the UK doesn’t just consist of London so a trip further north would be much appreciated; Newcastle would be wonderful! Saw Newcastle on your ‘Gigs’ page and got wildly excited for a millisecond til realised it meant in Australia. Keep doing your stuff. Your piano playing and music is fantastic and I love the contrived rhyming lyrics!
Hi.
I love your stuff mate, your great.
Hope you come to Iceland one day :)
Tim, you are by far thee funniest person I have ever come across. You have the most creative humor and I can not get enough. I would LOVE to see you live. You absolutely MUST come to New Zealand! Only a short drive across the pond eh? Looking forward to seeing you in New Zealand :D
You’re mine and my friends (he’s male) comedy boyfriend.
We love you a lot.
And we do take our canvas bags to the supermarket.
Just found out about you via Neatorama.com. I’m in New Jersey in the states, and please, please, please tour in the states. YouTube and DVD’s don’t do the comedy and piano sound justice.
I have only known about you for a week and I am completely smitten. I am German but live in the United States. I found out about you from a friend who posted “Inflatable You” on a Forum where I am a member and I must say it took quite a while for me to recover after listening to it…I have in the meantime listened to more of the material that is available on YouTube – – you are wonder-WONDERFUL. Plus such a nice, genuine smile. I am happy I found you. Thanks for making me laugh!!!
So F***’in Rock! I just found you and your talent on Youtube earlier today and I am loving everything so far. As many have expressed before me, I can not wait until you tour the states!
iv seen alot of tims stuff and have came to the conclusion HE ROCKED MY ASS OFF! got his album on my i pod and seen his DVDs a lot, i even have a t-shirt saying im a rock and roll nerd! but i need him to do a gig in the south of England so i can see him in person!
Hi there!
I just finished watching Rock and Roll Nerd – The Tim Minchin Story, and I loved it! It was great seeing how this started. I think it’s really interesting to see some of the hard times as well, not just the glossy picture of success.
I first heard about you when someone on fark.com posted a link to Storm on youtube, and I was instantly hooked. I brought four friends to your show in London during autumn 2009. Thanks for letting youtube have your songs, otherwise we wouldn’t have known that we should take the trip from Norway just for that :D
I’m looking forward to your next tour in Europe, I would love to go to another of your shows!
Hi Tim! I know the chances of you reading this are slim, but i absolutely love you! I saw you in Perth last year in November and you were absolutely superb! You should be more recognised world wide for your talent, i have not yet come across someone with your combined comedic and musical talent :) i doubt i ever will! Keep up the good work!
P.S. Unlike most musicians, i believe you are even more fantastic live. I felt like i was absorbing your energy…it was awesome
Just read the blurb at the top of this page. I happen to be going to London next year in July. What’s your address and what type of cookies do you like? I am the QUEEN of cookie making. Haha i would PAY to make you cookies and take them to your house!!!!
hi tim
i very much admire your work and think it is absolutly fantastic to see someone with raw talent and is intellegent doing so well in the entertainment buisness. i just wanted to say thankyou and you should come to cairns xD
Dear Tim,
I just know you since a week but already can almost sing “Rock n Roll nerd” perfectly along. Same for canvas bags, inflatable you, – which is actually quite hard – ginger and many more already. You’re like a magician with words and music. It’s great how you’re able to put those two together in something so beautiful, so funny and original as well (okay, except for F-sharp of course).
I hope one day you’ll do a show in the Netherlands as well. I’m going to be there for sure! Keep up the good work; you’re one of world’s best, and thinking about it, THE best comedian I know.
Good bye!
Marc
Hi Tim, We’ve just come home from seeing you (again) in Adelaide. Didn’t mean to put you off by sitting in the front row, but you should know that even 70-80 year-olds like us think you’re great and so gifted. Come back again soon.
Hi Tim
Got to ask are you one of us Geeks and is that why NAS got a lovely present from your sales. If I wrote some words could you do the music, havent got my piano anymore :-( Look forward to your next UK tour, hope you make it soon.
Hi Tim!
Come back to the UK, you blew me away at Leeds Festival this year and I’m sat watching Not Perfect off So Fucking Rock. Pretty much perfect. Come back to Yorkshire, maybe even Huddersfield if you’re feeling generous. Your songs are the anthems of my life.
Come back to the UK Tim… we think you’re f*cking ace! :)
I am absolutely in love with you Tim!
I love F-Sharp – im the muso type that actually gets it and thinks its f-in hilarious! And i love pretty much every other song you do as welL!!
Cant wait for you to be back in the UK (let me know first so I can buy the first ticket – front row, center :)
Tiffani x
All of your shows in NSW are sold out! Was so so sad and disappointed. Please come and do another show in Sydney. I’ve been looking forward to you coming back to Aus for ages. Please please please do another show. :)
A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a few of your songs and I m hooked!!! You are very entertaining and I have advertised you to many friends in the past two weeks. I would love to see you live…when are you coming to the US?
OMG!! I LOVE TIM!! <3
My mates are going to see him live in Melbourne 25th!! YaY!
ILY
Where do you live?
You give hope to gingers everywhere……..keep rocking !!!!!!
Seen you live twice & you rock the fucking masses, when you touring the UK again ? soon i hope, i always take my canvas bag to the supermarket .. the one with you on… good luck with whatever you do until you hit the stages of the UK again as i for 1 can not wait to buy tickets for the show… hehe you got a teenage girl( my daughter) loving all you done .. she found my cd`s of yours & watches you on you tube regually.. keep posting new items as yours are the best versions
TIM!!! you have started World War Three!!!! and luckey for you… its all about you. i was Australia and the UK fighting over you before and now the US wants some of you as well!! can you just come back to Australia and stay here! just think of it like this. Australia loves you, right. so you stay in Australia and do lots of shows over here theeenn…the UK peoplz and the US peoplz will have to come over to australia to see you, thus bringing more to money Australia the the government will like you more and give you some free advertising over seas to bring even MORE people to our woderfull country… no, thats a silly idear!! just come back to australia at last once a year ok? :D
Tim, I’m reciting a rap poem at an office leaving party tomorrow which I’ve loosely based on ‘Taboo’ (so loose it’s baggy – don’t worry). How you remember your words is a mystery to me. Wish me luck.
i guess it’s too much to ask, but would you mind playing a show in germany one day? That would be great indeed! a little surprising, i assume, but great! (: cheers!
Hi Tim :)
I’m a massive fan and can’t wait to come and see your next tour, any idea of if/when you’re doing your next one? It’s safe to say your the most played on my iPod and I my top top favourites are “The Song for Phil Daoust” and “If I Didn’t Have You” and of course your epic “Canvas Bags” and can’t wait to get my own not-actually-canvas Canvas Bag. CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT TOUR, and I wish the best of luck with the storm film!
Your most hugest fan
Emma, Manchester xoxoxox
Looking forward to tonights show, been hanging out for ages..
Hello there Tim
I went to see you last night with my daughter- I don’t know if you remember but I’m the crazy lady with a flower bike who accosted you in Hoddle Street a few weeks back.
We were in the front row- a flook of web ticketing but Oh so joyful to be right there-blood, sweat and tears. Your performance was sublime how you have blossomed to be an outstanding performer.
How tragic you had to go to the UK to find your way.
Now you are recognized (accepted) here because of that success.
Its like we’re still convicts by nature still waiting for the “mother country” to give us permission to fart.
How sad for us and how debilitating is our fear.
Go forth young man-yes 34 and 4 months is still young and conquer Your demons and bring us your courage and creativity back again when you feel like it.
TIM POST THE UK TOUR DATES ASAP … IT GONNA COST ME A FORTUNE with the converts i got into you, do i get a discount for multi-tickets to the shows ? .. guess not ….. you keep rockin & rollin` in the Colt … word of advice … don`t use a Toyota in the USA they grilled the boss….. fat yanks eat anything … when Storm hit the big screen here ?
Um, How about an Israel tour any time soon? It’s not even a tour, just a three hours flight to the mid east, a gig or two, some time in the holy land, and you’re back in London in no time!
Hi I went to see Ready for this? in Melbourne (the first one) It was great! I went with my mum and one of her friends (who is awesome and lent us her so live dvd) and my friend. It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Especially when you were talking to the girl in front row about looking about 14 because at that point I was 13 and in my craziness I shouted I’M 13! (i’m really sorry) but i don’t think you heard me any way we were about two rows from the back due to my families complete lack of anything even resembling organization so I think I just annoyed every one sitting near us. Sorry people sitting near us. xx
oh yeah you also made my mum cry when you played White wine in the sun. She’s English and all her family live in England, and this year it’ll be the first time she’s gone back for xmas for ages. To be fair she also cried at that toilet paper add with the labrador puppy (our dog had just died). She cries alot. She laughed heaps at If I didn’t have you though. If you think it’s unlikely that you meet the love of your life at a university in Perth. My parents(Dad’s Australian, Mum’s English) met in Zimbabwe both working as doctors at the same clinic, even then they only met again because British airways lost dad’s luggage and Mum’s was the only address he knew in London. xx
Okay dude you really gotta come to Canada or at least New York so I can go see yours shows or somethin’ cause you rock <3
Hey Tim!!
I would just like to say that my boyfriend bought me the “So Fucking Rock” DVD for Christmas and I absolutely love it!!
We would love to see you sometime.
I hope that all of the tours are going well and that your wife and children are ok and hopefully see you soon
XxX
Absolutely bloody amazing show last night in Sydney. Man you’re deep … LOL. Such a talented song writer, pianist, comedian. A privledge to watch your final show. Can’t wait for the next
The Best 15th Birthday present ever was your newcastle show :)
I thought nothing could get better then you, but you with your shirt off was pretty darn fine. Coincidently not perfect is my favourite song, and a pretty good encore. A downside of your show howere, is that i;ve been banned from kicking my piano lid shut (much to my dismay.
Definately seeing you again,
Isabelle
P.S What’s your address? I want to mail you some cookies
Just wanted to say that I saw ‘Ready for This’ in Sydney the other night and it was BRILLIANT!!!! Fantastic songs, fantastic comedy and fantastic performer!! :D I’ll defenatly be watching your show whenever you’re in Sydney!! Come back soon please!!
Hi there.. In the last week or so I’ve seen, but more importantly, Heard, ACDC, George Michael and Tim Minchin perform live. It’s been an amazing week of entertainment. It’s a little scary to type the words, but I was actually more entertained by Mr Tim Minchin. Ok, Angus wins out for his awesome 16 minute guitar solo, but you’ve got them on every other point. Your show was soul food at Michelin star level! Many thanks to you and your team for delivering both quality and value for money. It was an absolute pleasure to watch your genius at work. I look forward to seeing it again. All the best to you and yours.
