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…

HAPPY NEW YEAR TIM
Just wondering, could you put up your Donnie Darko song for download, I love your work and that film and this has to be my favourite song, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks!
Will there be a second show for Brisbane in March? Bitterly disappointed to find there’s no more tickets available.
Happy new year Tim! Just want to say that i think your music and comedy is some of the best i have seen! i have been brought up with keyboards as my dad has been a professional in a band when i was a kid! sooooo regreted never takin it up!!
Anyway I hope u will be doing a gig in the north west again in the near future as i missed the one u just did! Take care! I think u rock! LOVE YA LOADS XXXXX
Happy New Year to you Tim.
Just seen Matilda at Stratford on new years day and wanted to say it was fantastic. I loved the whole show and your songs & lyrics were brilliant.
Many thanks for making the best treat of my christmas/new year.
Will there be a CD of the show coming out in 2011?
TIM IS GOD!!!!
I saw your show in Brighton back in December with your well deserved symphony orchestra, I’ve been wanting to see you live for 3 years and I only just got the money for one of the tickets… Words cannot describe how amazing you are but I will try by saying that you are the most epic legend of music to ever have touched my heart and that your comedy is so outstanding that even after watching your live shows again and again im still in fits of giggles that make my sides split.
You are one of the greats (and as i have previously said GOD (if there were such a thing :L))
Lots of love from your hundreds of Brighton supporters (the ones that I know anyway) ROCK ON!!!! xXxXx
Oh and i will send you cookies if I get your address ^.^
This is the first time I have ever signed a guest book. I always thought it quite sad to sign a guest book, But xguess I have given in to human nature in the hope that my message might be seen …… Have a good day Mr Minchin ….
My wife and I like your music, your comedy and your take on life. Hope to see you in Edinburgh in April. Cheers.
My wife and I only first heard of you Tim two weeks ago, all I can say is we love your work and we are seriously considering flying to see you at an overseas show instead of waiting for you to come back to New Zealand.
I would just like to say that almost 4 weeks later, i’m still not over the fact that, due to SNOW, i missed your gig in Nottingham on the 18th of December. I spent the day stuck in Birmingham trying not to sob prefusely! Never mind the loss of £80 worth of tickets, it’s the thought of what i missed out on that gets me!
BAH HUMBUG.
Melbourne 3 shows, Perth 2 shows, Adelaide 3 shows, Sydney 4 shows, Hobart 1 show. Is Brisbane really on par with Tasmania? Bring on another show in BrisVegas!
I promise you that you’ve not lived until you’ve performed in Dayton, Ohio.
I first heard of you a year or so ago from a friend who said you’d be the kind of person i’d like, i’ve now effectively become more obsessed with you then she is!
i saw you in cambridge when you where doing the prep gig for your big gig in birmingham! it was great!! (i feel i got my £15 worth, and i bought 2 tickets for that event (one for my girlfriend) and still i feel i got my £30 worth =D) i’ve managed to get Loads of people into your work! you’re just so likeable :).
i now have your new album from the o2, some great new versions of old songs!
Hello.
I feel rather strange leaving comments, but I will stick with it. I just turned 16, I got tickets for Matilda & an audience with Tim Minchin for my birthday & Christmas. I did not really get much else from anyone else as it was what I asked for as for a few years. My dad is the one who is taking me and we are coming down from Scotland (skipping school on the Monday to come back). He got us cheap tickets & for your show & as I understand it we are not even beside each other, probably just as well as he will not have my laugh to embarrass him as once I start I can not stop. I am sure it will be a great day and I hope that the New Year is good to you and your family and of course to everyone else who may stumble across this. Many thanks for making my year (last year and probably this one). Love Megan x.x
if you do any more tours in the future please could you consider colston hall bristol as everyone loves you down in somerset. plus id love to buy boyfriend tickets for you your show i mean i already bought the new dvd for him :) thanks.
Great Stuff Tim
You are actually the sexiest man alive. Everything you’ve ever done is amazing. I didn’t manage to see you this time in Nottingham, please come again soon! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy New Year, Tim – and thank you so much for donating the profits from “White Wine in the Sun” to the National Autistic Society. Very much appreciated by all of us who have family members with autism or Asperger’s.
Kate E xx
Please come t’south again soon as myself and my lovely mates want to see you live – unless I can convince them to go to Glasgow! Croydon sucks (central to us all) but here or somewhere near – Caterham has a few venues, you could rock Caterham! Someone’s got to soon pleeeeeease….
Please come and make us all giggle our tits off… :-)
Hey Tim
15 and obsessed with your stuff, but did you know that you cannot view The Pope Song on youtube if you are not 18? It’s cool because I can see it here, but I’m still annoyed.
Come to Liverpool or Manchester soon? You’d fill the echo several times over I’m sure :)
Hey Tim, just wondering, on your australian Ready for This you do a stand up routine on your wife’s humor and dark humor after ‘If I Didn’t Have You’ but on the uk version you talk about a naming day of a baby called Jesika, just wondering why you changed it? I think that they’re both hilarious but i just slightly prefer the bit on your Wife’s humor :) but just to let you know im 15 (your music/act really appeals to the teenage market!) and think you’re the best musician/comedian ever and really want to see you live sometime! I keep trying to convert all my friends into Tim fans, and they all love you too! Happy New Year and all that, keep doing what your doing, thanks :)
Europe is really nice. There are people here, who speak English and like Tim Minchin (if you happen to know the guy). Poland is the county to go to; a girl called Katie went nuts over you (which means she cries every time she hears “Not Perfect”). I don’t love you. I don’t even know you, so I can only picture in my mind who you are. I like that picture, though.
Cheers from Poland.
Heeyyy Tim!!! i just want to say when i first saw ‘so fucking rock’ i was only 13 but i still found it the most funniest thing i have ever seen. my mum said she will take me to see one of your tours soon ( even though im only 14 almost 15) but i was just wondering if you could tour in Northampton please??(your birth town)-(hint hint) i guess i am one of the nicely weird people that keep blogs and tabs of what you do and random information like that. I totally agree with Lucy (the lady) who posted a comment on the 6th) you are so sexy and adorable!!! i totally love your hair and eyes!! i really want to meet you in person. is that even possible?? i have also tried to get my friends to like you. some of them do, but some think you look like a mad ginger version a Russel Brand, – i their mad for thinking that!!! WE LOVE YOU TIM!!! xxx
You are so Rock!!! I cannot wait to see you at The Bamboozle Festival in April!! Woot you are Awesome!! I hope to be seeing Minchin more in the US :) Thanks for being Brilliant. Keep it up!!!
I wish I had known about your existance when I lived in London for a while.You are brilliant! Come and visit Poland :P Me, my boyfriend and our mate would definitely buy the tickets for your show :P Love what you do so don’t stop, pleeeease.
Me and my friend are going to see you in Glasgow! so excited, i can’t wait. Love you loads tim x x x x x x x
You are the sunshine when its raining outside, love love love your music and comedy :)
please tour in Northampton or somewhere close, we really want to see you live!!!! :) xx we all love you lots Tim xx
Devastated…Brisbane concert sold out. Teach me to be slow in finding out about the bloody tour. Only a recent fan, discovered you via “Storm” and just love the work.
Have fun all tour and hopefully will get a ticket next time you’re in my neck of the woods!
Ear is to the ground for ur next tour . cant wait!!! you rocked manchester!!!!!!!
Tim, you absolutely ARE “so fucking rock” :) my friend introduced me to you yeasterday, and since watching the DVD it’s been your songs back to back all day and wandering round the house singing “Take your canvas bags, take your canvas bags….” :) My only regret is that you swear too much for my mother to let me put your songs on my iPod but never mind, it makes it funny :) Your songs and perfomances are simply genius!
hi
just bought “white wine” can’t stop listening to it , it’s so sweet & sentimental , now it won’t stop going on in my fucking head…
please make it stop!
u can have too much of a good thing!
luv your stuff please keep it coming :-) xx
My husband and I just recently discovered you and have become mildly obsessed. Listening to your lyrics, I feel like you are channeling my husband’s thoughts and values with your comedy. It’s kind of scary actually. Please come to Texas, yes, you have fans in the lone star state. I promise we are not all redneck, black and white thinkers. Austin is quite lovely.
Another Brisbane show please Tim??!!
hey tim, me and lots of friends really really think you should do a gig at the waterside theatre in aylesbury as we love you soooo much and you are so funny and absoulutly gorgeous
xx

Are you going to do an American Tour? Come to MIchigan… We love your bawdy humor here! I will be first in line for the tickets!
just saw you on conan! great performance. really dig the hair. seriously. awesome!
Don’t normally watch until the end of Conan, but I had to stay tuned when I saw you were on. Grats on the American TV debut!
Just caught you on Conan. Fantastic performance though ‘Prejudice’ would have been perfect. Conan’s audience definitely knows the term ‘Ginger.’ Glad to have you in the States. Cheers.
you were a hit on conan, based on the comments from conan’s site. you can read them here
http://teamcoco.com/content/conan-open-thread-chat-it-right-here-about-show-tonight.
Saw you last night at the Largo. awesome as usual. thanks.
Just drove home to San Diego from LA where you performed a fabulous show!!!! Thanks a million!! Worth every drop of gas, every traffic jam, and I hope we can catch the Conan clip online somewhere. Hope you’re back again! Great choice in venues, btw.
This is the 5,000th comment on your guestbook.
On average that means you’ve had:
913.9 per year,
76.2 per month,
17.5 per week,
2.5 per day.
Aren’t you Mr Popular?
Tim me and my girlfriend think your amazing, we have all your c.d’s and dvd’s…. keep up the superb work.
If you ever want a glass of wine then pop round.

U.S. Cousin, love your Mom, Roz, also a cousin. Loved seeing Bio of you when we visited West Australia in 2009. You were great on “Conan”. We hope to see you live in the U.S. very soon.
Tim, we were absolutely thrilled to find out that you appeared on Conan (one of our other favorite gingers) and hope that this means you plan to tour the US regularly. This country is in dire need of a “10 Foot Cock and a Few Hundred Virgins.” Please don’t let NJ be your last stop this year!
Saw you on Conan last night. Fantastic. I’ve sent the vid to all of my friends, half of my family and none of my enemies. Hope to see you tour the States soon.
(I’m writing from the cornfields of Iowa! You’ve made it, man!)
Hey Tim,
I just saw you on Conan. Great song. I wish you all the best in 2011.
im 14 and LOVE LOVE LOVE your music!!! rock on minchin! its inspirational…
I just saw you on Conan and you were awesome!! I immediately looked up your videos on youtube and laughed so much!! Congrats on your success from Idaho USA!!!!!!!! Please come back and tour and I will go see you live and make all my friends go too. You are so funny and original. I would wear your face on my chest!!
Hey Tim, did you know your Conan appearance got Pharyngulated?
Yeah, I’m a regular Conan watcher, but I was a little behind on watching, and Pharyngula convinced me to check out your performance. I love the song and your stage presence. Now I’m checking you out on YouTube.
I hope you will come to Atlanta someday!!
My wife and I really enjoyed your concert in Los Angeles. Thank-you! I hope you will be back in this area soon. “Cont” and the lullaby were hilarious. My eyes were watering and my wife said her jaw ached from laughing so much. But we’re masochists so it’s OK. MAS
whoop whoop whoop amazing! just got tickets for the liverpool gig, sooooo chuff as miss the tour last year.
top banana :-)
Thanks for your music, Tim. My friends and me think you are great
Visit Moscow, pwease!
One appearance on Conan and I’m hooked!!!
Thank God for PVR (Personal Video Recorder), or else I would have missed Tim’s riveting performance on Conan this week. Fabulous talent Mr. Minchin is my new favourite.
Hey Tim, just met you at Matilda….the one with the cool mum (apparently)…amazing music in the show, I’m really hoping to come and see you in liverpool, only a meer 5 hours away. Anyways I’m currently starting to write my own music, any advice? molly_jade94@hotmail.co.uk cheeeers x
You possibly have heard of the recent destruction from the Queenland floods.Please put on a second show in Brisbane and bring back the laughter. Apologies for the wankiness of “bring back the laughter.”
Got to meet Tim after the LA show on Tuesday night, grateful for opportunity…and terrific show! Blog entry about the trip and meeting for those interested… http://robocreep.blogspot.com/2011/01/to-hell-and-back-again.html Thanks again, Tim, hope to see you doing more shows in the US, and glad to help you conquer this country with comedy!
Saw you at Matilda the Musical last night (bonus). It’s one of the best shows I have ever seen! Just brilliant! Tried to take of photo of you with my daughter Grace ( new phone- haven’t got used to the camera yet!) so didn’t get a picture! Oh well coming to see your show on Sunday at the RSC maybe we will get another go :)
Tim, i love you come back to b’ham and hey why don’t you bring your orchestra too it will be fun i’ll bring pancakes it will be fun xx
marry me tim !!!!
Thank whatever deity you wish,
I’m so glad that you made your American debut! My family has been waiting for over two years for you to come to the weird “creationist believing” America. I’ve showed the politically correct “If I didn’t have you, youtube version, to about 300 people generating grassroots demand for your performances in this country. Hell, I bought your DVDs knowing they wouldn’t play on American DVD players (but play on computers!), just to watch your concerts! I must say, the humor between the songs is extraordinary!
South Park, Dennis Miller and Billy Joel wrapped up in an Oz’ie!
Dearest Minchin, I just learned about you watching Conan the other day! It was an awesome performance! You’re amazing. I hope you do come to the U.S. again so that I can see you live. San Francisco/Bay Area please.
Mister Minchin.
I have also learned of your musically inclined comedic genius through watching Conan. I have to say, you have taken Stephen Lynch’s place as my favorite singing comedian. You are quite hilarious and too adorable for your own good. I agree with whoever posted before me about playing in the Bay Area, as i have family out there and it would be increasingly easy for me to make it out there for a show. Also, if you’d like to play Vegas, that would be great too because that’s where I live. And what better a place for you to play than the city of sin, eh? And if you do, i will, (i repeat I WILL) bring you cookies!
Cheers!
Just back in from your gig in Stratford. It was great to hear some of the creative journey you undertook in writing Matilda. It is a joyous show – thank you for your part in it. Love from a Vicar x
I’m sorry that I called you ginger, Tim. But I’m ginger too so I felt I had the right. Please don’t slap me. x
Please come tour the states! Saw you on Conan. Seriously one of the most brilliant hilarious things I’ve seen in a while. Don’t change a thing. Or do, whatever. You’re onto something great. Now I can slow down my overload of Louis CK. Well done!
As suggested in the Fucking Annoying Questions page, I will state here: please please please come back to Boston :) You have a large following here, and we love you to bits. Keep rocking :)
Saw you in Toronto last year and became an instant fan. You are absolutely brilliant!!! The song about the Catholic church was priceless. I especially loved that the couple sitting beside me abruptly stopped laughing and clapping during that song, which just made me laugh and clap louder!! Please come back to Toronto soon!! Sure Canadians are nice and polite, but many of us have a dark and twisted side too, which means there’s lots of love for you here!!
I admire your work, it’s brilliant!
And sure you appeal to the teenage market!!
When are you coming to Portugal?! That’d be great!
Tim,
Thanks for the fantastic concert last night in Stratford, I have to agree with the person that asked about your music being written down. The lead sheets would be a fantastic help to working out your songs (I don’t care for dots but chords, yes please)! I would especially love the lullaby that you wrote for your first kid and the song beauty. I have to admit I was the muso on the front row that agreed rather enthusiastically about the idea of a science nerdy musical!
Oh, about the cast recording having to be “just right”, the best way in my opinion would be just you and your piano. I also saw Matilda yesterday, it was fantastic but in my opinion nothing can beat you singing “when I grow up”! But you should definitely write a playout for the band when it moves to the Westend.
Sorry for the rather rambling comment! Thanks again for a fantastic evening, and thank you for being a wonderful inspiration.
Came to see you at RSC yesterday – I would say it was a mutually indulgent experience :-)
Loved the music, the wordplay and the way you really considered the answers to audience questions. It really made my day – my husband will be sick that he missed it…… sent to India on business?? Weak excuse don’t you think!
Thanks, Tim – looking forward to coming to see you again soon.
Saw you last night in Stratford Tim, absolutely superb as always. Loved the Quark joke, although it took a while to explain it to my wife (she’s a medical nerd, not the particle variety) keep up the good work, and you are right, you are too good for sitcoms and the BBC ! From the bloke you said had a SHINY HEAD !
I do believe I am ready for this.
So my TiVo, for some reason, only records Conan sporadically. That being said I was lucky enough to get to see the episode you were on. It was fantastic and hysterical. Can’t wait for more.
How absolutely lovely to see you ‘up close’ in Stratford. I only wish I had brought you cookies…
Oh, and why have I never noticed what utterly gorgeous legs you have?
Hi Tim it’s Tom again!
Please please please can we have the lyrics to “When I grow up”? I have had it going round my head constantly, and it’s infuriating only having the few lyrics that I can remember from hearing you play it, and hearing it in the show.
Ta muchly!
Come to the USA for a tour please.
Hi Tim!
I’m going to see you in March with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. I probably won’t come and get autographs afterwards, because I have no idea what to say to someone who makes me laugh as hard as you do, except maybe ‘HURR YOU FUNNY HA GINGER!”. So to save myself the disgrace I might just put chocolate pudding on the edge of the stage before the show begins as a token of my love.
Am I allowed to call you a ginger if I’m only a ginger when I stand in the sun?
Hi Tim! You are a truly amazing songwriter, performer, and comedian. I saw you in Manchester just before christmas, you were such an inspiration! Not to mention hilarious! hope you come back soon!
Awesome.
For Tim, whenever he may read it:
Holy hell, man!
My boyfriend just made me watch Ready for This, me having never even heard of you before, and …. this sentence is taking way too long to write. I don’t know the words. Awesome, maybe, in its original sense. I just sat there, literally shaking with excitement as the show unfolded, my faced shaped in a permanent, childish grin of perfect wonder and my cheeks flushing red and hot with adrenalin.
I have now decided that I love you.
Oh, not in the normal, respectfully aware of your boundaries I-like-your-work kind of way, but in the way where I am writing this on my phone as I drive to your home, clutching your photo in my other hand and rehearsing my rambling, deluded speech for when I sneak up on you in your driveway, stick a syringe in your neck, pin you to the ground and shout beautiful words at you until you love me back.
So you know. Just a heads up.
Hi. Would like to let you know that ever since you were on Conan I have searched every inch of internet for you and absorb all of the material I could wrap my eyes around and sink my ears into…I cannot believe you have been out there all this time and I didn’t realize I didn’t have you in my life. Since I lost George Carlin I have not found a soul who could get to me like you have. Please come back to the states (east coast NY or Philly, both) when on tour, I will advertise tirelessly to fill your venue!! Love your naughty bits, could be inflatable if asked, B
It is such an awesome talent that you have! Try visiting Turkey, too:)
Tim, GET YO ASS TO NEW ZEALAND!!! Only across the ditch, Wellington preferably. I discovered your talent in late 2009, after seeing you appear on The Graham Norton Show. And LOVED your music & comedy ever since. I have learnt ‘Peace Anthem For Palestine’, and would love to learn ‘The Good Book’ & ‘Prejudice’. You should really consider releasing your leather bound song book, I certainly would rush to get it. The chords just aren’t enough, sorry. =]
I have got quite a few people into you, please come and tour NZ!!!
If you do…..I’ll get a group of …groupies and come to all your shows!!!
Tim, you are brilliant. Since seeing you on Conan, I have watched your three comedy shows and your documentary, and I am completely hooked. My world is brighter because of your work. Thank you.
I shared Inflatable You, Prejudice, and White Wine in the Sun (an absolutely beautiful song) with my father, and he is now a fan of yours too.
Please, please, please – tell us you’re doing more than the one set in NJ when you’re on the East Coast in May.
You’re going to be doing other things while in you’re in the area- maximizing your time – RIGHT?????
Hey Tim, saw you on Conan the other night. Great stuff! You should definitely try to play at the fox theatre in St. Louis. (where I live!)
The day I discovered Tim Minchin (via Never Mind The Buzzcocks) has been the best day of this year so far.
Thank you,Tim!
– Your new fan from Russia.
Hey Tim, Where do you live? I would like to buy you an assortment of cookies.
Oh and I love your comedy!
I want to be a comedian, Sept its more everyone laughs at me then with me.
Then again I do act like a freak… Even today a laid down on the floor in the middle of the cinema.
Any how, Keep up the amazing work!
Much love,
laura.
Please please please come to the west coast of the U.S.! We want to see you live!
hey again Tim, i was just wondering wether there is an age limit on your shows, what with your language and everything? just hoping to maybe come see you at the royal albert hall :) and also where can i get your ‘so f*cking rock’ album on my ipod? you are my favourite musician and comedian, and well done on your US tv debut; inflatable you on Conan was the best version i’ve seen so far!
Could you please tell me when the Orchestra Tour will be released on the dvd in the UK? I went to the gig at the MEN Arena and it is one of my most favourite gigs ever and I cannot wait for the DVD!
(Assuming you sporadically gander at these comments) YOU are a comedic and musical inspiration to me and I seriously cannot get enough. What a talented guy. Thanks for the laughs! Cheers from the United States. – Cody
say i would like to send you a letter of some sort? where can i send it to?
Having not known you existed until about a month ago (I’m not often in control of the TV remote), my flatmates pulled up the ‘Inflatable You’ vid during our Comedy eve, and I have to say that it was just excellent. I’ve never paid much attention to musical comedy, or comedy in general, save QI, Jimmy Carr and Lee Evans, but your act is just fantastically original, and since I’ve been surfing your other works I’ve really come to admire your intriguing (and sometimes hilariously and embarrassingly explicit) material. From what I’ve seen, you seem to be genuine in your approach, sincere in your delivery, and artistic with your content, and that’s a great quality for any comedian and musician.
So this is a note to say thanks for the work that you do, and keep it up! I’ll be watching your Tweets to check on any shows you do in the UK south as I’m by London, and I’m grateful (probably not the right word, but it’s 3am) for the enthusiasm you put into your performances. Thanks a bunch. :D
On your Conan appearance, he mentioned you touring (presumably America, PLEASE CANADA TOO!!!) this summer. Can you elaborate on this. We thought your double bill with Bo Burnham was amazing and all too brief. Thanks
Come play in them Netherlands! Otherwise I have to go all the way to London, which is a silly place.
Just watched your documentary on ABC…thank you for sharing and baring some of your soul. Playing piano to your daughter when she was just a wee one was very inspiring…it made me want to go into my sons’ bedroom and sing old blues at the top of my lungs, they’ll have to wait until tomorrow, poor boys! Keep up the awesome work, see you when you next come to Melbourne.
Saw your story on ABC1 – totally loved it. Well done mate, it’s so refreshing to see someone being totally and originally creative with all the shit modern life throws your way. I don’t usually get excited about much new music – ’cause I’m usually a backyard, raw feeling, doing it for the love of it fan, but you’ve been able to keep that in your work. I laughed, teared up and appreciated the musical quality all at once. Will definately go to your show, if you are ever in Adelaide. I hope you are enjoying being a new parent. Take care
Not to appear rude but after seeing predudice for the first time at the weekend, I looked up your oncoming tour dates to discover that your in edinburgh on my birthday in April. I can happily hold up two fingers to all the poor sods who wont be joining us for what will be a great birthday present to myself.
Thanks and keep smiling :)
Hi Tim,
I saw you on Conan and I think that you are brilliant! I love listening to your music and watching you perfom.Thank you so much for enriching my life.

I know its not quite the anniversary of dear old St Valentine but i wrote you a poem.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’ve got a knife
Now get in the f***ing van.
Hi Tim,
I have to say that I think you are one of the funniest and certainly the most brillant performers I have ever seen – and I don’t usually write fan mail either! I am sure in another life you could have been a nuclear physicist. I will be coming to see you in Melbourne and will drag along as many of my friends as I can. Keep up the good work.
Hey Tim, i just wanted to tell you that i am a fan of you, i love almost all your work…( at least i am honest ) And…also i just wanted you to know that you have a lot of fans here in Mexico. Serilously, i know is difficult…but it will be nice if you come someday.
oo. Look at you on the FRONT PAGE of the Age, then a full page in the arts section…..right next to an article on astrology. Sigh. Flying Spaghetti Monster save us.
Dearest Tim, since seeing you on Conan you’ve instantly become my favorite musician, poet, performer, and genius. When I saw that you were coming to New York I flew out of my seat and voila, now I have 2 tickets on their way ;) I am deliriously happy right now. Thank you so much for adding a New York date, my wish has come true!!! thank you thank you thank you, can’t wait, can’t wait can’t wait!!
HI, Love your work, just moved OS and White Wine in the Sun is a magic piece of work. Where can I lay my hands on the song and lyrics to Lullaby? Sister has just had a bub and would love to share it with her.
Brilliant Minchin! I’m speechless.
Brissie on the 18th of March is sold out. Why only one performance?
Please Please I want some more!
Saw Matilda the musical yesterday and have to say it was one of the best i’ve seen! The kids were so good and the music was just genius. Well done! :) xx
