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

  2. Lucy Blaydes

    Hi I hope you read these things. My Husband and I are big fans and thought you might like to know that at our wedding in Aug we played ‘you grew on me’ at our ceremony as we signed the marriage certificate :-). It was perfect, although not all our guests got it but perhaps it was a bit to much to ask from my gran!
    Love you loads, Lucy + Adam.

  3. Sarah

    I am watching you now on E4, after having a text basically screaming about the fact you were on tv… You are much loved in Wales, and although at the moment you are talking about people complaining about your swearing, I don’t find it offensive. At all. anyway, I love your work mucho, and am now listening to my favourite song of the ten foot cock and few hundred virgins (: LOVE YOU! (and my boyfriend loves you…) xxx ♥

  4. Josh

    Got your so fucking rock dvd recently and it’s bloody fantastic! Most comedians only do 1hr 10mins on stage, you do twice them, plus songs!! You and Mr.Bailey are putting most of the UK comedian scene to shame with your COMPLETE shows with light shows, music, great songs and jokes on top! It’s surreal, you’re brilliant :D Looking forward to purchasing ‘Ready for this?’ when I have the money XD Keep up the good work dude, looking forward to future projects (saw you had some sort of ochestra jobby, a live show with an orchestra would be AMAZING!) XD XD XD

  5. Monti

    Had a bad day and you cheered my evening up thanks to E4 and E4+1. Have had you on most of the night, singing along. Love ya Tim, you are hysterical. Wish I could get “You Grew on Me” for download, love that song. Sod it, love them all lol.

  6. Heather Vine

    I have been growing more and more deliciously obsessed with you since recording So F**kin Rock on my Sky+ and have been needing to watch at least some of it every day to feed my addiction.
    I am working nights at the moment, and was dreading 3 whole nights without my fix of you, so I was one extremely happy girl when I found you on Nevermind the Buzzcocks during my break on Thursday night. Last night I was almost orgasmic when I found you on E4! It’s a good job work was quiet or else there would have been some very hungry babies (I’m a nurse on Special Care Baby Unit!!) whilst you were on!!
    I was just pondering how I am going to cope if I can’t have my fix of you tonight, and you have just dropped through my letterbox!!!!!!!! My very own So F**kin Rock Live DVD!! :-) I can take you everywhere with me now!
    I should be in bed now but am too excited to sleep. Think I might have to have a sneaky peak before I head to the land of nod.
    Can’t wait for my Rock and Roll Nerd DVD to arrive through the post next and am counting down the days until I get to see you in the flesh in Cardiff!!!!!!!
    Love you! Love you! Love you! xxxxxxxxxxxx

  7. Laura

    well a boring stressed after work friday night, pj’s on and relaxing on the sofa flicking through all the crapy t.v programmes on, my brother said stop there tim minchin supposed to be good! sorry but never had heard of you before, thought god here we go another ass trying to do stand up, (im hard to impress)! well i was very impressed! your music and art of it is bloody fantastic, nearly wet my pants at one moment laughing, really impressed,cant believe never heard of you before! looking at coming tosee your gig next year in glasgow, amazing and rather easy on the eye might i add ;-) keep up the amazing work xxx

  8. Helen Sumner

    G’day, again ! Can’t wait to see you in Perth, Au next March.. It’s gunna be awesome ………………………! :)

  9. Mags

    You are a genius, come to ireland!

  10. kiefer danger bryant

    Keep rocking dude

  11. Alice

    When are you coming to New Zealand again!! You sold out before I could get a ticket last year, and you are kind of a genius. Put our Aus/Kiwi differences aside and come visit us again…. you wont regret it!!

    PS I love you.

  12. Kat

    Please, please, please come to America (more specifically, anywhere in Virginia, Washington DC or Philadelphia!!!) My sister introduced me to your music and you always manage to make us smile, so in retaliation (*grin*) I want to get us both tickets to see you live. However, no matter how much I love my sister, my bank account cannot seem to get the hang of producing enough money to travel to the UK or Australia. Much love from Virginia!

  13. Crash Buist

    As an actor/playwright/lyricist going to school in Texas, I’m more pumped about Matilda than I have been for any musical in recent history. I could sit here and obsess over your talent all day, but the simple fact is you’re a brilliant musician and writer who can bring something to the stage I don’t think I have ever seen before. Watching Ready For This got me so pumped for musical theatre that I am getting with my buddy who’s a brilliant musician and turning one of the comedies I was recently working on into a musical. I don’t know where else to go with this. I’m writing in a GuestBook you’ll probably never read. Keep kickin’ ass.

    Crash

  14. Frank Francis

    I accidently came across your show on TV in midnight last week (sadly, had never heard of you before). WAAAAAAAOWWW- never saw any performance like yours ! You are SO talented/genius. And your song ‘it’s not perfect’ made me cry for real!

    I got so pumped up after watching your performance that I watched all that I could find on internet on you. Going to get all your DVDs ASAP!

    You have one more hardcore fan in this world TIM, and I am going to introduce you to all my friends!

    You are god damn rock… so mofo rock! Been humming ‘you eat no pigs, we eat no pigs’ for past three days, to the point that my wife is going to kick my big fat ugly arse if I hummed it once more… oh well, I settled for ‘take your canvas bags’ instead, which I love equally. :-)

  15. Tabitha

    Hello. Just thought id say I love you. and as soon as I persuade my dad to buy me some envelopes I will be sending off fr your autograph :D
    I think some your music is hilarious, I first saw you on Jonathan Ross 5 poofs and 2 pianos was great (: xx

  16. Tony

    You are one fukin nutcase but so funny and talented!

    Friend at work said ” you know you’re obsessed with that chap with the big hair and makeup, well I found this in the post office and bought it for you. ” DVD of RnR nerd. In the post office! Aust post gone up in my estimation. Needless to say already had it, but appreciated the gesture.

  18. Cristóbal Martínez

    Hey, I’m a mexican student living in Hong Kong and it would be great if you could drop by and give a gig here. I’m sure the tickets would be sold out. Keep doing what you do.

  19. Sash

    Tim, you’re so wonderful … ♥
    I listen to your music everyday and I really hope that I can see you live … currently suffering with depression at the moment and your songs give me a lift and a glimmer of hope … if there were more people like you in the world, the world would be a better place.
    Never stop doing what you do. I love you :) x

  20. Debi Longmore

    Heyyyy Tim – we love you! Pleeeeese come to Orkney for a gig and I’ll bake you all the cookies you can handle! In the meantime, looking forward to seeing you in Edinburgh next April. Much love, Debs & Al xxx

  21. Kerry

    My housemate got me watching you recently and I have actually become addicted to Taboo and Angry (Feet). You have no idea how much my chest hurts from laughing at your stand-up, it’s awesome to listen to something so different and a breath of fresh air :) I’ve got to come and see you live at some point, you have no idea how much listening to you has cheered me up of late so thank you and keep up the amazing work :D
    Love and hugs
    Kez

  34. Guy

    You know, its only a few hours over the water from Brisbane or Sydney to get to Wellingon. Just, say, if you wanted to visit. In March. And do a small gig. We’ve got real venues and everything, honest. Go on, you know you want to really….

  35. Courtenay Pollock

    Hey Tim!

    My partner and I are getting married next year and we both decided on what song we should have our first dance to.

    Well we decided it had to be You Grew On Me :D

    Keep up the good work and keep making us laugh!!

    Love Courtenay

    PS Love the Pope Song

  36. Nienke Esther Grooten

    Hi Tim, I think I mentioned this before, but you are one amazing person! Hurray for you every decent human being with a scratch of brain loves you to pieces etc. etc. etc. and if you ever come to the Netherlands I’ll make cookies for you, your wife, your children, your entire family. Please come to the Netherlands! We need to be taught some decent English!! We’re also very judgemental and stoopid and tiny back here, we need a bash on the head. It might wake up some brain, one never knows. You’d be perfect for that. <3

  37. Alice

    Tim! Glad to say I am coming to one of your gigs in Cardiff in December! I saw you in Cheltenham last year and thought you were fab – even got to meet you which was an honour!! Anyway, I hope life is good at your end, good luck with Matilda, I hope to see it sometime, I’m sure it’ll be a masterpiece :) much love chum, auf wiedersen, pip pip, adios, tally ho, ta ta and all that :) x x

  38. Oonagh

    Hey Tim got introduced to you by a friend who was trying to make a point that he wasnt always nice so left me the link to “dark side” fell in love right away. Im studying architecture and have to pull alot of all nighters…but since i discovered you they are so easy. I blare your songs and sing at the top of my voice (my house mates dont quite appreciate it at 4 in the morning though). But in the morning when i have a project completed and canvas bags (or any song) going round in my head im on top of the world….and i would like to thank you directly for that oxoxo

  39. Robyn

    Hi, I still love your music you have to be one of the best =). I also told my fiance about you and now his got his whole family listening to your songs everyday your music has helped me through hard times coz I put it on and it just cheers me up and makes me laugh a hell of a lot so Thank you Tim for your great talent with singing and music =D.

  40. Lynn Brook

    Hi saw your so fucking rock Show on TV and decided you were a must see live love it so much I watched the repeats sadly can’t make Manchester so hoping you will come back to the North soon I love so many of your songs it’s hard to pick a favourite. And what can I say about how you rock the piano other than awesome I’d be happy to just watch you play.

  41. Lau

    Just to let you know that you have reached a nerd couple in Madrid… And we have friends, and friends have friends… forwarding your songs around…
    We haven’t listened to anything else for the last few days!
    Hope to see you soon around here!
    Best wishes and keep up with NO FEAR.

  42. B.

    Enthusiastic generic compliments on your continual success!! Ambiguous obligatory secondary statement of adoration for your work accompanied by awkwardly sideways emotional representation. Shameless begging imploring you to pay a visit to the US sometime.

    Felicitous salution,
    Brian

  43. Katie and Russ

    Tim, Tim, Tim,
    I bought your DVD
    purely on a whim,
    Some people say
    your stupid,
    or even a little psycho,
    but they dont
    get your humor,
    They should watch your show.
    To make them understand
    and truly appriciate
    the wonderful music
    that you make.

    It affects us all,
    in some great way,
    the ability to make us smile all the while,
    and even cry till were dry.
    Either way,
    I just have to say,

    Thankyou Mr Minchin,
    For everythin’

    :) Much love and keep writing, your my idol and my inspiration as a writer myself.
    I particularly love how you manage to juxtapose such different ideals, i.e. anal sex and god… angry with the subtitle (feet) The way you tell the story and get from the one to the other just leaves me in total awe.

    You are without doubt the best comedic act out there today as your shows not only deliver brilliant comedy, but in such an interesting way with the upbeat songs full of wonderful morals and teachings (i especially love the song about toby the first fish to have feet – it really makes you think!)

    Anyway just thought i’d leave a little poem for you to feed your truly deserved ego and i cant wait to see you in birmingham!

    Much love, Katie (and Russ) xxxx

  44. Mike

    Tim, you’re a god. Any chance of a tour of the US?

  45. harriott

  47. Harrison

    Tim, if i didn’t have you, i don’t know what i’d do. You are amazing and i hope i meet you some day. You are mind blowing. ♥

  48. maxine

  50. Emma

    Alright Ginger! (Similarly afflicted, so it’s okay I believe). I recently came across your extraordinary work and like everyone else here I’ve gone a bit MinchinMad. You f**king rock, man! Me and my (also ginger) t’other half are getting married soon and we’ll be featuring ‘If I Didn’t Have You’ as our first dance (sort of hoping people will be so awestruck by the music they’ll forget to watch us shuffling awkwardly). We’re coming to see you in December and can’t wait! Thanks for all your songs and wisdom dude xx

  51. Amanda

    Mr. Minchin,

    I love you, please come to Winnipeg, Canada. I’ll trade you my husband for tickets. He’s sturdy, you can do anything. Anything.

  52. wayne

    yeah dude music rocks and your part of music so yeah that rocks,
    singing canvas bags at people in shops rocks to, peace

  53. Susanne Okroy

    I`m looking forward to…..a Tim Minchin concert in Hamburg Germany….did you ever think about it?

  54. Samm

    Hey Tim! What’s your address? I’ll bring you some cookies…
    Kidding! Sort of..

    Please write some more songs man! I’ve listened to ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins & some people have it worse than I like a thousand times.

    I convinced my RE teacher to play Ten foot cock & a few hundred virgins, it was hilarious; she wasn’t happy and half the class didn’t get it, retards. But it was damn funny, I almost keeled over.

    Write some more of those kind of songs & THEN come play them at Middlesbrough, seriously! I’ll bring cookies to the gig? Does that sweeten the pot?

  55. cazz

    ‘Storm’ the premiere of the animated movie at TAMLondon was fantastic Tim made me chuckle, looking forward to Newcastle in December, tickets arrived this morning, so made my day.

  56. Johnny

    still waiting patiently outside the belfast ticket office for them to announce you coming here! when tim?! when!!! i wana go home…

  57. Stephanie

    COME TO THE UNITED STATES!! PLEASE =]

  58. Frédérik

    I will keep rewatching your DVD, and wait for my preordered dvd to arrive and hopefully see you next year!
    Love <3

  60. ella

    Come to New Zealand please!! We are small but AMAZING!!! xx

  61. Louise

    Oh tim, there is never a moment when you do not cease to amaze me, i really cannot wait the 1month at 25 days until i get to see you, (not that i have started my count down). I really do hope you enjoyed your birthday present from all the Angry(feet)ers. I played my top trumps against my 10 year old brother, my was not too please when she realised what some of the cards actually said on them. She then went on to tell me, if i ever showed them/played them against my brother again, she would burn them. Bit harsh in my oppinion, but hey, thats my mum, she is opposed to bad language. What a shame. Any way, i bigining to ramble on a bit. Cut to the ending… Hope you liked you present/card, look forward to seeing you, Keep up the good work. Louise xx

  62. Lorraine

    It’s a good thing I was introduced to Tim Minchin with “Storm” on Facebook. (Go ahead, roll your eyes at the mention of FB . I already have.) Normally when I see someone screaming “LOOK AT ME!” with his eyeliner and rat’s nest hair I quietly walk in the other direction, but now that I’ve become a completely harmless
    stalker and fan, I find the look endearing. (Which means it’s time to stop since it’s no longer cool when a 46 year old woman finds it endearing.) Anyway, you make me laugh Tim Minchin. Thank you.

  63. Simon Goodjohn

    Hey Tim , love what you do , seen you live twice now , 08 and 09 and hope i can do the same in the big 10 at Notts somewhere , sometime in december . For those of as that get it you are a god send , no hang on ,,, a breath of fresh air . Music and humour all at the same time ??? life just does not get any better . Keep on trucking buddy and hope to see you soon .
    .s.

  64. Dakota Smith

  65. Terje

    So you know you have fans in Norway too! =D

  66. Mary

    I just discovered my feet. Aren’t they wonderful? Aren’t they delightful? For years I had a fear of them. So I just wanted to paste a BIG Thankyou on your website for helping me overcome this fear. I shall cherish them from now on :’) Also, you’re my biggest inspiration on piano :) :D Thanks again xxx

  67. Emma

    Hey Tim :) coming to see you this December in Manchester and cannot wait :D
    Just wondering if you’ll be playing You Grew On Me? It’s my favourite of your songs and I think it would sound beautiful with an orchestra…
    Can I also ask who your inspirations behind your music are?
    Your biggest fan :)
    Emma xx

  68. RICHARD (ALFIE) SMITH

    hi tim, just got your so fucking rock dvd, first time iv ever seen you, and have to say after one viewing, youve already gone straight up there with bill bailly as my favourite, cant wait to see everything youve done, definately got a new fan here, some of your stuff has got to the most intelgient and funny stuff iv ever heard, my fav song so far ten foot cocks and the one about tony the fish has to be the most hilairiously clever joke so far i love you man finallya comedian who seems to hav my exact sense of humour, look forward to collecting all your stuff, and hopefully get to see you live soon. YOU ARE DEFINATELY A GENIUS….

  69. Emer

    PLEASE come to the Republic of Ireland PLEASE

  70. Bex Kirk

    Yay! Can’t wait to see you in Bham with my friend Jamie (legend that he is…buying me tickets=))….well…ok I can wait….that’s kind of how the calendar we have operates really…but yeah, and have preordered your new DVD already. *more inane grinning* And ideas where I can find sheet music for “You Grew On Me” ? Have tried Mickey Burman, but in his own words “this version is shit, really, if you play it all like this it’ll sound shit” which made me laugh, until I realised it sort of did. Thanks!!! x x x

  71. Jade XD

    Hi, Thanks for all your hard work in writing all those genius yet so simple songs that made me laugh and made me laugh even harder when their are people around me listening to your song at the same time with a facial expresion that says what the fuck? because they just can’t keep up witth your fast paced witty humor and incredibly long winded sentences and then laugh with the ones who can just about keep up at the end of the sentence which tends to end very suddenly without warning after being dragged out for an exceedingly long time………….
    Anyway…….. thanks for your hard work and can wait for more, Also i can’t wait for your new dvd to come out XD

  72. Sara

    Hi Tim,

    I think you’re a genius. I’ve loved every video I’ve found on You Tube starting with The Pope Song that I linked to from a Pharyngula post. I’ve even figured out how to play some of your songs and when I rode my bike to the store today I was humming Canvas Bags (and I brought mine – the song actually helps :)).

    I think it would be beyond awesome if you started touring around the US. I live in Portland, Oregon, where people aren’t very church-y and are almost all liberal. I think you could have some material over here with the New Age Granola Hippie Yuppies (as I call them) and their just as messed-up version of a god. They’re always calling it the Universe which is weird since the Universe doesn’t give a fuck about us. But, I’ve had many a NAGHY thank the Universe when I’ve done something nice for them. Or, perhaps, thank themselves, because the nice thing that I decided to do for them was really just a result of them “putting it out there in the Universe.” It’s no different than when my religious friend thanks god or the people who prayed for her when I do something nice for her.

    Anyway, so there’s my two cents. Come to the US. Or don’t and then I’ll have an excuse to plan a trip to Australia. Thanks for making me laugh. And, cry. And, cry from laughing.

    Cheers, Sara

  73. Laura

    Heyya Tim! Thought you might like to know, your songs have officially been listened to by a person riding a camel through the Sahara Desert (Morocco) …. by person i am referring to myself haha =).

    I love your music, you are actually amazing! I really wish I could meet you someday. It has become a dream of mine because you are just so awesome! You are one of my main piano inspirations! =)

    Much love to you,
    Laura xxx

  74. Potemkowski

    I think, I mean I hope I think You are the best in this what you do. Don’t stop.
