A true original. Thank you for sharing your genius with the world; you’ve made a lifelong fan out of this American lady

    Dear Sir Tim. No not “sir” because you should be knighted, just “sir” because I am expressing respect for you, plus it sounds cool. Been a fan for a while but seriously, the Pope Song, absolute brilliance. (Big kudos too to Fraser Davidson for the video, it’s spot on.) Please find a way, somehow, to perform this when the Pope visits the UK.

  2. Martin

    The Pope Song is absolutely fantastic! My new favorite song. Brilliant. I hope every station will play it when Nazi-Ratzi will haunt GB.

  3. Patrick Spelman

    jizz at soon to be new site

    The Pope Song is just fantastic. The only problem I have is that I don’t think he’s a motherfucker, I think he’s a cunt. For argument’s sakes let’s just say he’s both.

    Could we get this to get into the music charts in the UK when the motherfucking supervisor of the paedophile priest boy-fucking support network visits the UK?

  5. Rebecca

    Where can I buy the pope song? I had never heard of you before I heard it, but now I want to support you for that wonderful song. And yes, the pope is a fucking mother fucker.

  6. Ruairí

    Hey Tim, Just came across the pope song on politics.ie. Some clown had posted about how the number of catholics in the world had increased by 12%. Someone else post a link to the pope song as a response. Said it all. It puts ‘offensive’ perfectly in perspective. When are you coming to Ireland?

  7. ren

    tiny sad at new website, really really like this one. but that’s very selfish of me >:] the new one will be wicked i’m sure!

  8. Jon Cummins

    I’m not a big fan of swearing in comedy as it tends to be gratuitous, but The Pope Song is spot on. Ironically, it’s just about the most articulate and persuasive thing I’ve heard on the subject. Well said!

  9. Poppy

    oh Tim! just so amazing! i have no words!

  10. JL

    Tim, you are a rock God. The only way the world as a whole can understand this is if you GET TO CHICAGO SOON! I mean, many of us Yanks truly appreciate you. We’re not all self-important twats. We need you.

    New Tim Minchin fan. Just started listening in August when my best friend divorced his wife after listening to If I Didn’t Have You and he realized the honesty in the song about the statistical odds and his eyes were opened, he is so happy now and finally out meeting tons of cool new women and he has his pick – – or maybe he will never just pick one again. But the main thing is, he is happy now and he is free. So I bought all Tim’s songs that I could find and his views on everything from Religion to the beauty of this world, is exactly how I have felt my whole life. Religion was invented to control the masses of uncontrollables by fear. There is nothing GOOD about it. It stands for every corrupt thing in this world. Those that are closest to Religion are usually the ones who abuse it the worst. I have not heard the Pope song but going to look for it now. Hope Tim Minchin plays in Pacific Northwest of USA sometime. Would love to see him in person!!!

    If these are really read by you, then I’m not really sure how one should start this sort of thing. Does anyone else think that – maybe it is just me, I over-think a lot of things, but then it seems from your music that you do too – in a good way, of course. So to me, should you be “Tim” – as simply a fellow human being and thus an equal – or “Mr Minchin” – as a complete stranger with whom I have never had any contact? Maybe “Tim Minchin” as this is the name under which your stuff is released. or maybe “Mr Tim Minchin” to cover all the possible options?

    No, i think i will start, a paragraph and a half in, by simply saying “hi”. I have only really discovered your work very recently (yes, sadly to say I cannot claim to be one of your die-hard, long-term fans that were there at the beginning. sometimes I wonder where those sorts of people come from – I mean, I’ve never managed to come across anyone famous before they were famous, and I don’t think anyone I know has either. anyway…). It is true to say, however, that I really love what I have heard. I love the mix of the comic with the serious, the critique of global issues with the introspective self-analysis. If your music is anything to go by, I think you would be an exceptionally interesting person to talk to, to share a drink with.

    I particularly wanted to congratulate you on the song “not perfect”. I was completely taken aback by it when i heard it. I’d spent a little while listening to your more comic stuff, and was blown away to uncover this sensitive masterpiece. It is, contrary to its own title, rather perfect. I’ve already listened to it far too many times.

    Don’t stop, and don’t change.

  13. caroline

    Tim you grew on me,,,,,,,we all no the rest,
    love your talent,
    I listen daily to you on my way to work, have to be more aware though as the warmer days come not to sing so load to Jesus, Confessions….etc I’m getting some looks!!
    I’m kinda hoping your busily writing new stuff, and can’t wait to come and see you live, my husband is concerned that I may not be able to sit still though!. x

  14. Linda Stuart

    Someone posted your Pope Song on Face Book. Too funny, and true!

  15. Natasha

    Please come do a show in or near Minneapolis, Minnesota.

  16. Jenny

    I have spent the whole week watching and listening to every thing Tim that I can….I am floating on a wonderful Tim Minchin cloud and the world feels a better place now xxxxx

  17. Dexter Thompkins

    I really wish you would come to the Washington D.C. area. I found your stuff recently on Youtube and forced my friends to listen and watch and now they love all too.

  18. Sonya Matos

    When are you coming back to the USA? Just found out about you from a friends Facebook page and now I’m hooked! Please let me know when you come back to NYC. Love your music/comedy and interviews on YouTube.

  19. Jay

    Just wanted to say thanks for great songs! I just discovered your stuff on youtube, and I love it. I’m reading for my summer exams now and it really cheers me up. Keep up the good work!

  20. Emma

    Dearest Tim. I am a reasonably HUGE fan of yours and would like to say thanks for all of your music :) BUT would like to know two things: when are you releasing “ready for this” on dvd in the uk and will you be playing in the north of england any time in the coming year?? pleeeaaase?? xxx

  21. jummy

    HAHAHAHA, just heard the Pope song. ROFLCOPTERS!!!!!! Good on you tim, tell that butt fucking mother fucker off! XD

  22. Alexandra

    Tim, i introduced a friend of mine to you a while back and we saw you in concert last time you were in england. Yesterday in our compulsary RE short course class he decided to bring up your song ’10 foot cock and a few hundred virgins’ to our highly religious, muslim RE teacher. It was the funniest conversation ive ever heard :’) luckily he wasn’t too offended :p.
    P.S i read your FAQ so this will be ‘fucking annoying’ but i was really hoping you could maybe publish some of your music onto your website or maybe even a book? Because although i know every lyric to all your songs/poems, i’ve been playing the piano for 8 years and i can’t quite work out your stuff by ear and i’d love to learn some of it.
    :) xxx

  23. Anna

    Hi Tim,I’ve only found out about your songs a few weeks ago, and I have to say you’re a genius! I love the Fat Children and the Pope song’s, they’re the funniest ever! Any chance to see you live in Dublin again soon? Me& my hubby definitely hope so as we missed your show last September:(
    Keep up the great work Tim and rock on!!

  24. J

    Tim,

    I have to say that I think you are fucking brilliant! and I am attempting to aid you in your quest for stardom in the US. A few friends of mine from the UK introduced me to you a few weeks ago and since then, I’ve spent a lot of my free time on YouTube listening to everything you have, and then posting my favorite videos to my Facebook… Everything you say about the US is true and if my fellow Americans don’t like it, they can go fuck themselves!

    Any chance you’ll be coming to the great state of Indiana? We have stuff like… corn and… well, that’s pretty much it. But if you like corn, we’re the place to go!

  25. Emma West

    Recently at musical rehearsals ive been borrowing some of the seniors ipods and listen to your music. I blame Mrs Potts and cogsworth! he has now got me addicted and i can’t stop! =D at least its amazing!!!

  26. Jordan

    Mr. Minchin,

    Don’t ever come to Minneapolis, Minnesota. The people here are God fearing Americans(North) and they don’t need riff-raff like you bringing your overseas heathenism down on them like a terribly long and wordy diatribe of a run on sentence that will suffocate you with every lacking pause of puncuation.

  27. Gill

    I can’t believe you’re going to be at Camp Bestival at Lulworth, I am so bummed that I can’t go.

  28. Kathryn

    Hey!!
    Just to say I think your music is amazing! and the way you play piano is out-standing!!

    Hope you can visit Scotland soon so I can go see you play!

    Loving It

    Kathryn xx

  29. laura

    hi tim u so mother fuckin rock!!!!!! love ya xx

  30. Vincent

    Dude, I had never heard of you before stumbling across your Pope Song. I’ve read through what everyone’s stated and I can’t do any better.
    DO NOT STOP

  31. John Rael

    Your rock like a demon, sir!!! And yes, demons do rock.
    Anyways, I ran across you because of the Skepchicks and I’m fully planning on having a release party the week that they finally release STORM. We are fully stoked!!!!

  32. Dan Levat

    TTTTTTIIIIIIMMMMMMM!!!!!

    Hello, you should come to the U.S. Just saying. You know you want to do it now. Really. Really really….

  33. Steph Collins

    Helloo Tim,

    Wishing I’d said it first, but… You SO MOTHER FUCKIN’ ROCK!!! ;oD Thinking of moving to the UK so we can see you live….or come to Oregon, US??

  34. Mike of Melbourne

    Dear Tim. I MUST insist you get your arse back here to Australia – NOW. We need you ,more than the Poms do. Don’t make me come over there to drag you back…

  35. Laila

    Dear Tim,
    Several months ago I was going through a difficult time in my life emotionally, I lacked any inspiration to do anything, which was even worse since at that time I was completing my university applications and writing personal statements. On one of the nights that I spent awake trying to write I discovered your songs. Needless to say they made my day and have been making almost every day since then, but the thing that I wanted to tell you is that seeing somebody doing something so amazing helped me to see the best in myself and find the motivation that I needed to write. Today I found out that not only has my priority school accepted my application but that they are also giving me the scholarship that I needed on order to have the opportunity to study at all.
    Thank you for the things you do!

  36. Stephan (Steve)

    Hi Tim,
    Greetings from Germany.
    I’ve heard your songs everyday and have to say that you are a fantastic entertainer.
    I realy realy hope that you will come to Germany one day. My depest respect for your work.

    PS: Sorry for my bad English ;)

  37. Gray

    Here’s another guy who just “discovered” you after hearing the Pope Song. Awesomely well done, by the way. Since then I’ve downloaded your album and probably listened to it a dozen times. Storm is terrific and, as a g-word, I love Prejudice. Here’s hoping you make it to the U.S. soon.

  38. Tatz

    TIM MINCHIN = GENIOUS

  39. Kylesh

    Hello Tim! where buy\download the best song of ages “Fuck the Motherfucker”???????

    Chears!)

  40. Karen Minter

    My husband is ginger. I wanted Prejudice as our wedding song.

    my mum wouldn’t let me. bitch.

    love you!

  41. Phun Stanley

    So I kind of just tripped across the pope video, then started watching some of Tim’s other videos and I’m kind of wondering what rock I have been living under. Tim you have to be one of the most talented people I have ever seen, and I have seen Madonna… (that was a joke, the Madonna being talented part). Every video I watch the more amazed I am, I forgot there are smart witty entertainers in the world. Thanks for making my day a little less shity… I can’t wait to see you live.

  42. Scadi(Moscow)

    Your work is amazing. Thank you very much for your music and energy that it gives.

  43. Noelle Ryan

    Your funny cause you are right!! I do feel sorry for Tony the horribly-mutated-but-in-a-good-way-fish though! :) Classic!!

  44. ~Duff

    You should really consider doing a show in the US. More specifically, in Kalamazoo, MI?… I swear, not all Americans are god-fearing evolution-slamming redneck hillbilly Fox News-watching gun-slinging ignorant assholes.

    Just most of us. So give us a chance.

    You rock, Tim. Keep up the good work.

  45. Juhani

    LOVE the Pope Song! Brilliant, just brilliant! This might be the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Seriously!
    Thank you!!

  46. Shelly hill

    Hi:D creepy stalker smile …OMG I love you and your random music!! Well that’s all I have to say soo byeeeex

  47. Lucy Sturrock

    Hey Tim.
    I think you’re an amazing musician and entertainer, I recently showed my family your stuff (even my 80year old nan) and they love you too. I’ve been a fan for a long while now, I love your sense of irony in your I love Jesus song. My favourite song has to be Darkside and Some People Have it Worse than I. Just fantastic! Well Done!!! x

  48. rachael

    Hey tim, pleeease go on tour again soon, also i think you should come to east kilbride, cos thats where i live and your awsome

  49. Kyle

    Tim, you rock, you so f*cking rock! please come to ireland!!! i would pay a lot o’ money to see you live. i would even consider selling myself on the street to pay. PLEEEEEEASE!!!!

  50. Sarah in Sunny Runcorn...

    Thank you Tim. For making me feel fantasticly awful at playing the piano. Which I now realise, I am. Awful. At Playing. The Piano.

    Hmmmmm…

  51. Laura H.

    Hey Tim, wondering if maybe you could come to Dublin on your next tour(?) and if you do PLEASE perform somewhere that is NOT over 18’s only !

    p.s.
    love the pope song

  52. Natalia

    TIMMMMMMMMMMM PLEASE DEAR NON-EXISTENT GOD BE AT READING FESTIVAL AGAIN THIS YEAR.
    I promise not to pre-laugh..

  53. Mia

    Dearest Mr Tim, I just thought that you may like to know that myself and my wonderful fiance finally got hitched last weekend, and our first dance was “You Grew On Me” by your good self. Went down pretty well I think amongst like-minded friends (and most of the more straight-laced guests were old and quite deaf and therefore simply enjoyed the lovely melody…)and now the song will have even more meaning for us and a cosy fuzzy little place in our slightly twisted hearts! PS: we do actually drive a Mitsubishi Colt!

  54. Kathryn

    Tim, please come to the US sometime…Colorado preferably. If you don’t, I may have to book a flight overseas to see you…and that could get a little over my budget seeing as I’m still in college.

  55. Pauline

    YES……You MUST come to the US!!

  56. Ryan

    Tim, you MUST get your stuff on the australian iTunes store!!!
    to get the ready for this? album i had to get my uncle in england to buy me an UK itunes card and send it over in the mail!

    please put your albums on the australian itunes store, it would be soooo good

  57. Alex

    Hi Tim. I know you appreciate grammatical errors, and I would like to inform you of one in your songs. In the song ‘If You Really Loved Me’, you say “dot the I in I love you”, you are incorrect if writing correctly, as you can see from the quote. My girlfriend spotted it (I wont take the credit lol), and I thought you might like to know that we listen carefully to your brilliant lyrics!! We love you by the way!!

  58. Paul J

    Dear Mr Minchin

    I am a big fan of yours and wish to extend my disappointment that so far you are not to be appearing at Download Festival this year. I believe this to be your niche crowd and would love to see you once again this year (even if I was to miss ACDC) yes Mr Minchin….I like your music That much.

    Yours faithfully

    Mr Paul J

  59. edward benn

    Your songs are very funny cant get them out of me head.
    You the Concords and setbelts. All the noise. Please advise.

  60. Timothy

    Hey Tim. A fan from the USA here. Do you ever plan on bringing your barefooted, messy haired self over to the states anytime soon? I live in Ohio and the biggest thing we have is…

    Corn.

    And that’s it. Honestly, I think the reception would be wonderful if you did a tour of the states. I know at least I’d show up. And…Well…If no one else did I’d…Buy you dinner or somesuch to make up for the wasted time.

  61. Oliver XD

    Hey Tim, just wanted to tell you how awesome you are. I love your music and your hair and your style. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! ive introduced so many of my friends to you and they all love you too now :D Hope i see you some time XD

  62. Ashleigh

    Pleeeeeeeeease come back to Scotland this year? <3 x

  63. Catherine

    Tim!Please could you play Dunfermline on your tour? Me and Jodie shall bring you Percy Pigs and Haribo if you do :) (if you dont like those sweets, tell us and we shall get you what you want) X

  64. Jodie

    Hey there Tim, just so you know, myself and Catherine have decided to bribe you for a Dunfermline date for your tour. We will have Percy Pigs and Haribo sweeties for you, and if that doesn’t keep the bouyancy in your flotation device, any other type of sweet sold in the UK :D
    So, you up for it? Pleeeease?

    Xx

  65. Katie

    Hullo :) please come to melbourne again soon, my sister has been playing your dvd non stop, i’m guessing to try to invoke the real you, and using up all our internet downloads to play youtube vids of you… and it’s so distracting trying to watch the telly and cook her meals at the same time that i cut my hand with a saucepan the other day. seriously. at the very least can i mail her to you? she’s very pretty but also rather batty, and at worst i think she’d make a good pet.
    please help – without rapid intervention i fear i’ll be impaled by a rubber spatula or receive some other embarrassingly silly injury.

  66. Nancy

    So who’s up for starting a campaign to get Tim to tour the US? Of course you’d have to start in Seattle!

  67. Alex

    Leeds/Reading festival plox?

  68. Dan

    Tim! play a Glasgow show on your tour, would you? If you don’t I’ll cry. You don’t want to make me cry, do you?

  69. Erin

    Please come to the U.S! We would love to have you do some gigs here.I assure you there are people here who share your sense of humor and aren’t the anachronistic, puritanical and close minded people we are often potrayed as in the media. Thanks.:D

  70. Rhiannon Jones

    Tim, Dearest, please make sure that you’re Hay on Wye gig is better advertized next time. I am weeping at the fact that I have just found out about it and the tickets aren’t available :(
    Or perhaps we could compromise and you come to Cardiff. Please? We’re better now – We have hot running water and electricity now.

  71. Joanne Hewer

    Dear Tim :)
    You sir, are amazing.
    I do hope I can see you on the next UK tour.
    I have pre-ordered your DVD. :D x

  72. Elaine Boisclair

    Belated, but only just discovered you and your brilliant self, courtesy of my son, Matt. Rog and I LOVED the DVD he loaned to us and have ordered your next offering. Also hope to come see you live when you are next doing a solo show in London. Thanks for the entertainnment xx

  73. Julianna Romanyk of Toronto

    Oh Tim, still a dedicated fan, but absolutely miserable that your Toronto gig takes place while I’m away. :(

    Seriously, I’m sadder now than when my cat died.

    On the up side, Mum says she may drive me to Montreal because I think so highly of you. Still perfecting “Peace Anthem for Palestine” on my little keyboard, and angry-feeting like never before.

    Love ya in a hopefully not-too-stalkerish way,
    Julianna, age 13

  74. Xueh

    Tiiiim!!!! oh my gooood!!! i just “discovered” you like a week ago, and i cant stop searching for your videos …im hooked!!!
    Are you planning maybe in a not so distant future to come to Berlin??? that would be totally awsome :D and i would be sooo happy!!
    Well, thats it, you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  75. izzie

    Hey Tim,
    Just wanted to say that i am in complete awe of you. Seriously, I think some of your ideologies are just so amazing, and make such sense, and thats just a plus to your mad skills on a piano, and the fucking awesome lyrics you come up with :)
    Hopefully coming to your gig in London soon, really really looking forward to it man.
    Although I try not to swear usually, I think that your rationalising of you swearing is brilliant. good on you man :)
    I think you’re such a cool dude
    Peace
