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…

Hello,
I just recently viewed you on youtube, which will probably be the only place I actually get to see you perform as I am from Huntsville Alabama and I wanted to say that I enjoyed your music tremendously. I also heard a bit of you on NPR Friday as well and I enjoyed that also. Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Mike
When are you coming to Auckland?
Hi, i’ve been addicted to your youtube videos ever since i saw you on Jonathon Ross a while back, and I have to say, you’re a genius. Aside from the obvious musical talent, and Muhammad Ali speed piano hands, it has to be said that your wit and intelligence is really astounding, i’ve had the same argument with my own “storm”s about a hundred times before I saw that video, and I couldn’t stop laughing at the end of it. I love how you can deal with issues that people are so touchy about, in a serious but light hearted manner, it really hits home. And seems to have sent the trolls into overdrive.
But mostly, white win in the sun. Just, unbelievable. My favourite Christmas song.
Ok so there’s my generic fan message, i’m gonna go and wash the brown from my nose.
Just wanted to say I first saw you on Craig Ferguson a few months ago and fell in love. I live in the US, Long Island, NY; I drove to PA August 2011 to see you. I was amazed to get a chance to talk to you; my infatuation just keeps growing. I would love to see you again and bring fiends along. Please let me know when you will be in NY again, I missed you the last time!!! Take care, Rita
Please come and do a show in NZ.
I found this little cartoon illustration and it reminded me of Tim…. Its like about how he met his wife in college – it’s really sweet!

Hey Tim, your musics are great, congratulations! I really would like that some of your DVDs had legends on portuguese, my english sucks, but it’s enought to realise how nice your compositions are. Kisses, come do Brasil :D
Hey Tim
saw you at this years JFL at the Astral, expecting not to like you,
but I left thinking, holy shit, that is the best performer I’ve seen here,
was hoping to run into at the Hyatt to tell you face to face, but didn’t see you
Anyway, Well done,
hope to see you again soon
Cris
Please come to New Orleans, LA!!! Me and some friends drove to Austin awhile back to see you. It was well worth the drive, but New Orleans needs some Tim.
I don’t know if you´re straight or gay, but if I were (and you were too) i’d very much like to marry you.
Tim,
I teach science in a very rural Texas middle school. Much to the chagrin of my colleagues, the parents of my students and some of the students themselves, (“You are lying to us. This is all lies [sic.]”) I continue to teach reason, logic and rational thought over faith, the supernatural and, of course, utter bullshit.
I love your work. If you are ever in Houston, I’m sure my school would love nothing better than a nappy-haired, eye-shadowed Aussie to come sing a song about why herbs won’t cure cancer and how religion makes you think that people can live inside of a fish, fly through the air, walk on water and generally be a huge dickface to everybody around you.
There’s literally a church that rents out my school on Sundays. Ugh.
Yours,
Sam
Hey Tim.
Will you please come to Denmark?
Me and many of my friends are huge fans, and we think, that it would just be such an amazing experience, actually seeing you live on stage.
I really hope that you will visit Denmark. According to some clever guys, 86 procent of the danish population speaks danish, meaning that your humour will be understood and appreciated (at least by every single person, i have spoken to about you)!
Really hoping to see you some day.
Kindest regards, Kalle
please do an american tour soon
I am so glad I found you via a link on theblogess.com. In the time I needed a laugh the most, there you were!! ha ha. Please come the NZ soon…… You grew on me is now the front runner for my wedding song, when I get married in the very distant future!
Hey Tim, I really love your music, I think my favourite is rock and roll nerd. You are really talented and no matter how many times I listen to your songs I still find them funny
Tim = GOD…. that is all
I loved seeing you at the applecart festival. It was a fantastic day of comedy but your act on the made stage made my cheek muscles ache from smiling so much! Now looking forward to the comedy prom.
Hey Mr Minchin
i know it was a time ago but you where great on Never mind the buzzcocks also youre comedy stuff.
youre great
Greets,
TIM,
I’m just gonna go ahead and be as unimaginative as most people on here and ask you straight out to marry me. ;)
Seriously though, I absolutely lurved your July 31st gig in Montréal and pray that you’ll be back very very soon. I hope I manage to sit in the front again, so I can admire your wonderful face (of course should you lean over the piano again, I also get to catch a very choice glimpse of yer bum). Your show left me giggly and light-hearted, it was completely amazing.
Love you, hope you and yours are having a smashing summer!

Hellooo!
Yesterday i saw Tim at the Apple Cart Festival, and it was the best experience of my life. It was absolutely fantastic but sadly it was too short. I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall, and loved all the new songs, and that was the best night of my life. I was pleased for him to do the new songs, even without the orchestra. I couldn’t believe i was standing so close to my idol, and it was just the best thing ever… THANKS TIM! (: xoxo
Enjoyed your performance at The Apple Cart Festival yesterday, Tim. Now having to explain to my 6 yr old dughter why she can’t repeat some of your lyrics (Particularly those to Cont). Great show.
Jenny
lovin the hair
Honestly, I think you’re more blond than ginger.
MATE, everything you do is brilliant.
I’ve referred you to mobs.
Ironically, I live (near) Perth too. but, that’s got fuck all to do with why i like your stuff. Jill (the wench) and I, both have MATHS degrees. yeah – some sort of noise here – BUT, we like your shit. Actually BIG fans of the “Hallelujuh” clip. BBQ in Perth (Mandurah) whenever you’re ready!!! Boat rip on the canals too – wine included.
Yeah Tim… You need to do another tour, SOON! and come to Warrington (cheshire, UK). I know you’re busy with the music and lyrics and more production stuff to do with the RSC’s production of Matilda, which by the way is cool :) but still a tour would be very very VERY nice for everyone.
Much love…
you are seriously amazingly talented, tim! i just discovered you today, and have spent most of the day watching your videos.. super funny, very poignant, spot on.. your music really hits home in a lot of ways.. love it!
please book a date in dallas, texas if you can.. we would love to have you perform here.. truly genius, you are!
Tim, I would like to say thank you for providing my fiance and I with hours of laughter. We are using Drowned as our first dance song on our wedding day 11-11-11!
Your talent is amazing, keep the laughs coming!
Your music is great :)
When are you coming to the Netherlands?
Hi Tim,
Really like your work, I saw you live at the Royal Albert Hall back in April and it was the best thing I have ever seen! Please can you come to Cambridge soon. All the best, Jessie.
Hello Tim… I have to say – ure a music genius. I love ure work, a specially becouse I live in so fckin catholic country and there are no such artists like u here. But i know that there are many people thinking more or less like U and we would love to see ure show on live in Poland to show the church how half of polish ppl think (sry for my bad english – im not perfect in it).
Bye and good luck to U Tim
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again : Force your way to Sweden and play a little for us.. Please?
Hi Tim, I think I may be going a little crazy. I’ve got all your CD’s in my car and keep singing them to myself all day ……………………and night actually. I’ve seen you at Kings Park under the stars, His Majesty’s Theatre and the Perth Concert Hall. I’ll be at your next concert for sure. I was wondering if you and the family could pop over for a cup tea or a glass wine (in the Sun) over Christmas. We live in Cottesloe and spotted you on the beach last Christmas but thought it best to leave you alone to enjoy your family. PS I’ve pre ordered Matilda from the RSS ………cant wait.
Absolutely magic Tim You are the dogs nuts mate. The music you write is quality and then the lyrics you put to it are hillarious. Always very hip to the current climate and very unafraid as all good groundbreaking comedy should be. You are continuing a good tradition of musical comedy from that part of the world and excelling at it. kudos mate. Keep it up. You nutjob!
This is a kind of depressing story, but it’s also amusing, depending on how you look at it.
I wanted to introduce you to my friend Tara (through videos, if not physically), because I am in love with your songs and you make me so happy. But, unfortunately, Tara is afraid of monkeys and apes and… with your red hair and big, be-eyelinered eyes, she thought you looked too much like an orangutan to watch. She’s frightened of you. She can’t even talk about you now. I feel bad because I think I may have traumatized her a little, but I am also kind of amused.
Oh well. I can quote you to her and not tell her who said it. Or say it was Shakespeare or something. How often do you hear something like that, Tim?
Love,
Sara
P.S. For the record, I think orangutans are perfectly cute.
I have only just properly discovered Tim (although I did see him on Buzzcocks and loved him!) and I’ve spent the last 2 days at work listening to stuff on Youtube and giggling!! I’m hoping I won’t get sacked, especially as some of it is quite rude and maybe not entirely suitable for work, but it’s brightened up my day no end – I spent all night last night humming the tune to Perfect, it’s just so wonderfully melancholy! I love the fact that it’s good music as well as being really funny and actually challenging – I was a bit shocked at first, by the Pope song, but then I just found myself agreeing with Tim! I’ve even introduced Tim to my best friend (who is my comedy guru, but for once I’ve found something before him) and we’re hoping to see him live – keep up the good work Tim, you are a genius – and as a “Ginger” with an anagram husband(!), I salute you!
hey tim, i recently met you in san fransisco. i was the good looking guy in the vest you couldnt keep your hands off.. ha Anyways thank you so much for your gift. truley inspiring. Since you said you didnt really play ten ft. cock anymore,we as aband decided to cover it and keep it alive.. it rocks. im digressing, sorry. iwas so star struck i didnt get to ask you what i wanted.. how long & who taught you the piano? and what was your ”big break” that got you a recording contract? im trying really hard, but you know how it is im sure.. well much love – rob jones p.s.- speaking of stalking, me & my friends deffinatley snuck backstage and watched your sound check ;)
Saw you at the opera house this year, and was just blown away (first time live – was expecting no less!)… I could not weave a complimentary sentence adequate enough to express my admiration for your work. Thank you!
When are you coming back to Australia again!
Had so much fun meeting you in Washington, DC. Saw you in Brooklyn, too. And now you’re coming back to NYC–yay! Six hours on the bus and an overpriced hotel night, but you’re worth it. I’m taking my stepdaughter as a bat mitzvah present. Is that as inappropriate as it sounds? Shh… It’s a surprise. She thinks you’re almost as hot as Justin Bieber! (I know, I know–but that’s high praise for a 13-year-old.) And before y’all rush to call Child Protective Services, please understand I’m working overtime to overcome the influence of her mother’s fuckwit evangelical husband. Desperate times…
After seeing you three times in six months, I’m thinking of following you like the Grateful Dead, but what would I call myself? But seriously… I’m planning a trip to Australia, and it would be a real waste if you weren’t there when I was. So please let us know when and where you’ll be, pretty please? Might you be doing any shows when you go home for Christmas?
you buoy me.
i am working through one of the most difficult and challenging periods of my short 47 years, and you have made me laugh out loud,
enough to snort beer from my nose,
and cry unabashedly in Joy
aware of the Human condition
with all its struggles and Beauty.
American (sorry) by heritage, British by birth,
and stuck “here” (San Fransisco bay area)
i wish to have the chance to see you in person, if only once.
thank you for your honesty
your Art
your voice
and making a difference.
peoples keep meeting you… it makes me sad :( me wants to meet you :( your so pretty ^_^ xx
hey everyone i was on facebook and i found a group called tim minchin is not funny and they are saying things like he pays little mexican boys to have sex with him after shows ect ect so i thought i’d let all of you know cause well we all know tim is god
I think you should make an animated movie/clip for “Mitsubishi Colt”.
– Mil
Saludos desde México, te conocí a través de los videos de youtube que alguien subtituló, admiro la facilidad y el ingenio que tienes para escribir canciones.Soy profesor de biología y también estoy luchando contra la pseudociencia, tus canciones tienen mucho sentido y son geniales jajaja. De ser posible, deberías vender tus videos acá en México subtitulados, los usaría en mis clases, aunque tal vez me despedirían jejeje
Que estés bien y felicidades por tu trabajo, ¡sigue escribiendo!
Tim, please try to make a tour through Western Europe, a lot of people are waiting for you! It’s quite unfair how the British can enjoy concert after concert but you never come to Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, etc. :( It doesn’t matter where you would play, I’d take my car and drive there just to hear and see you live once. Although there are no words to define your work and talent, let’s just say that you are a fucking genius.
You were amazing at the Beautiful Days Festival!!!
My girlfriend and I were right behind the people with your name on their face.. Little did you know that plastered alll over my chest were the words ‘I LOVE TIM MINCHIN.’ Would have absolutely loved to meet you afterwards but had no idea where to find you :'( Definitely going to one of your future shows!! Anything around Cornwall/Devon?? :D LOVE YOU TIM!!! <– It's a bromance.
Hello Tim, just listened to the Comedy Proms and can’t wait to see the visual!
Can’t bring you cookies but you are welcome to bring em to me and I will pamper to your every need. Sorry not able to see Matilda opening in the West End (lack of funds), which i find very frustrating. Anyway – good luck and keep the cookies flowing
I’ll be very unoriginal and ridiculously ironic in so many ways: Tim Minchin > god
apple cart was best day of my life! i got my family to stubbornly stand close to the front for an hour and a half to get a good view, can’t wait to see the comedy prom on tv :)
HI! Ill take the risks and will say (write) that you’re legendary. Absolutely love your ironic-intellectual (sometimes not too much =>) songs. Those cheers me up every time I listen to them. Though you should consider recording CD. I ain’t expecting you’ll come to Lithuania (though would definitely would buy a ticket and it would be amazing) but hopin’ that I’ll have a chance to hear (see) your life performance! Best luck in continuing your career! Cheers! Raminta
P.S. Björn Ericson your comment rocks. OMG n ROFL. lols
I so desperately want to send you money. Lots of money. Only catch, I would like a DVD that can play in the US, or a digital download that isn’t infested with DRM b/c I’m the one person without an iPod/iPhone/iAnything. Is the US too small a market? I think we can scrounge up enough customers to make a US DVD workable. OK, enought b$tch$n. Love you, perplexed by your store. If such items are available and I missed them, then I am an idiot. Where are they????
You sir, Have made my life a lot easier :). Anytime i hae a bad day, get annoyed, someone pisses me off….whatever. I knwo i can go hiome and listen to your songs, and relax :D You are a talented talented man. You are so open and so legendary in your own way and i just love it :) Can’t wait to see you in Detroit.
Hey there Tim!Love your work. I just wanted you to know that I first knew about you and your carrer thanks to Penn Jillette´s Penn Point at DailyMotion video search engine(later on I found out that it was on Youtube). The episode that reffers to your work is called “An Atheist Family Christmas” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkXxkfu8dGs). He got the message of the song so well, that it grew on me (like a tumour, off course) and I started looking after you. I´m a big fan now. The thing is that I´m not able to get any official merch since I live in Argentina(South of Latin America). Is there any way to get anything from here?. Keep on f@cking rocking our asses, Tim!. Sincerily, Ariel (I´m a dude, by the way. haha!)
Tim I just wanted to tell you that I love your logic and honesty in refering to any subject… It is nice and refreshing to listen your songs :D Great job. I am from Guatemala, Central America and I just wish to be at UK one day to see you perform, mean while I will continue enjoying videos at Youtube XD
Hope to see you in Finland soon! <3
1. sooo happy to get to enjoy your music and wit
2. please, you played Hallelujah in Portland and it floored me – cannot find a version of it worth listening to now. winebar youtube vid doesn’t come close to what you did here and I don’t have the funding to follow you around the world hoping to hear you play it again. won’t you please post another version?
3. merchandise, dvds, music – can it be made more available for those of us in the states?
thank you thank you thank you
Wow that comedy prom was spectacular…more so thanks to your presence.
I am in my late 50’s and a long term prom fan…this was my favourite EVER.
Big thanks. David in York
BBC Comedy Proms was FANTASTIC!!!!!!
THANK YOU – can’t wait to see you live x
Loved Comedy Prom. Such talent from you and your guests. As a redhead I particularly loved your ginger song – spot on. Just brilliantly put. I confess I wasn’t expecting much from the programme but it sounded different so thought I’d watch. I was totally hooked from the start. Thank you.
Just watched the comedy prom-fantastic fun and fabulous music. Well done!
Was feeling the worse for a bottle of res wine and sadness 0- until I watched the “Comedy Proms”. WONDEFUL!!! Thanks SO much – what a show! Right – I am going to plague Hay Festival until they book you under whatever pretence they like.
You can write, can’t you? That’ll do!If ever you are in the area – free accommodation, mate, and we’ll go Dutch on the rest!

Wow! Elton John and Bill Bailey with hair!!! Amazing Ginger. I am too. Pale and ginger that is. Terrific Prom, thanks.
Comedy Proms – brilliant!
Never heard of you before (sorry) but once seen……….!! Great performance, impressive talents, and will definitely look out for you again.
Just watched the Comedy Prom. I thought you were outstanding. Apologies but I had not heard of you or see you before..and did not realise you wrote the Mathilda words and music. Thank you for a great show. It was just so different and refreshing. I will certainly be spreading the word.
Keep up the great work
Saw the comedy prom on TV , just amazing , you are so talented , not wearing shoes must surely be a sign of your genius , or athletes foot ; either way it is an endearing quirk !
Damn you Minchin – watched the Comedy Prom this evening (fabaluss daahling) and became an instant fan so here I am YouTubing your videos instead of sleeping… more please!
Absolutely brilliant comedy prom! Thank you for a very entertaining evening!!
Hi Tim, I thoroughly enjoyed you on the Comedy Proms. I was so impressed at how multi talented you are. I look forward to seeing you much more on tv in the future and wish you good luck with Matilda.
Well done.
Ron
Genius, a revelation to me on the BBC Comedy Prom. Hope to see him live sometime, with full orchestra.
Hi Tim, Just watched a Sky+ recording of the Comedy Prom, PLEASE do this again – absolutely brilliant
Tim
Not heard of you before, but have now! Watched you on the Comedy Proms, Brilliantly put together such a great mixture of emotion and meaningful in different ways. Just watched the recording again
Thanks
Comedy prom AMAZING. Like quite a few others posting on here I’ve only just discovered your amazing talent. Please come to Birmingham, UK!
Tim, I have just watched the comedy night at the proms and thoroughly enjoyed your hosting of it.
You made me smile from the beginning and I am still chuckling now. Your humour and clever lyrics made the evening for me. Good luck in your career and I will look out for your future ventures and tour dates. I am hooked.
You make me go weak at the knees! And it’s not the accent! You ooze “I’m good” in a very charming, charasmatic way :o) Bring your beautiful, multi talented self to Chester, we have a small theatre there that only seats 130 people, but hey ….. you’d be very welcome! And I can spood feed you ice-cream in the interval … :o)
My friend posted a vid of one of your songs on Facebook and since then I haven’t been able to stop watching/listening to whatever I can find of your work on Youtube. You are absolutely amazing and I think it would be awesome if you could possible come to Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
They want to talk to do an iam (i am) on you on reddit!! You can get alot of exposure and they are huge fans of you :) The link is in my post under “website”
Tim Minchin was good PLUS COOL at the bbc proms and so was everyone else
You were amazing at Leeds festival, the first time I’ve ever got to see you live even though I’ve watched your dvds and youtube clips for ages!
I hope you saw me at the barrier on your left! And I wish you had longer, I’d have put you on the main stage over Pulp and Madness any day!
You’re so witty and intelligent and I love that for once in a while someone in the public eye is honest in their opinions all the time! You just ooze charm and charisma and I know I, along with most of the crowd, were weakened at the knees by you! Especially when you just popped your head around onto the stage during the “Minchin!” chanting!
Carry on being a rock ‘n’ roll nerd forever! England loves you!
P.s. pulling the floor lighting off so you could have the “Muse effect” for Dark Side was “So f*****g rock!!!” <3 xxx
HELLOOOO :o)
Just the thought of you actually seeing/reading even skimming this makes me full of adrenalin. from the ends of my hair to the last inch of my toes.
Now, I’m gunna be honest here. You….Tim Minchin are probably… I dunno, what am I trying to say. Well, you inspire me more than you could ever imagine. You touch my soul like a a baby clinging to a finger…. You fill me with appreciation, enthusiasm, inspiration, passion. I feel tingly when I see/watch even think about you.
Sorry if I come across as slightly mad. (I am a wee bitty). I have never looked up to someone I have never met before in my whole life. I feel I know you. I feel you when I watch you.
I have tickets for Live & Ungagged. Counting down the days till the day I see you in flesh and feel your intense witty humour floating over me.
Stay true to yourself. forever. Your so frickin’ beautiful inside and out.
I’m gunna say bye now, I’ve said enough… See you in a month or so.
*HAPPY WAVES*
Hello,
Is Matilda coming on national tour soon? I would absolutely love to see it in Belfast. Please, please, please? :)
So er, put simply, you’re a legend. Rock n Roll nerd is basically my life bar a few bits. Should you ever feel the need to pass on your talent in the form of piano lessons then please do inform me!
Please, please, please, please, please, come to Canada! Specifically, Alberta, Canada. I live in a very large country and would have to drive for days to see you in Ontario or Quebec.
I would be forever grateful and would even purchase a t-shirt or maybe even a hoodie should you grant my request in a timely manner.
Thanks in advance!
Holy crap, sir. You’ll play in Boulder. If I’m not mistaken, I live there. Or should I say here?
…Yep. That’s definitely Boulder outside.
The point is…. Sweet Jesus, the luck I have.
See you in October.
OH HAI *waves*
How are you?

Hi.. One thing to say to you Mr Minchin, Proms.
What a sight for sore eyes – What ‘music’ to my ears – What alternatives resounding around the Galleries of the Albert Hall … What a Blissfull Hands on for that Steinway! … Oh l could go on for hours but l do not have them so it leaves me nothing but this – Thankyou Mr Minchin, you a unsurpassable darling! ;)
Hi, I saw you at reading 2011 you were awsome and I want to see you again i am listening to alot of your songs on your youtube channel but Cont / (context) as i think it was called is not up there yet and i wanted to know when it will be YOU ARE A LYRICAL GENIUS!
You were so amazing at Reading festival that guy who yelled “Tim Minchin is a cunt” stood right in front of me and you dealt with him so well, be nice and fuck off. You were the highlight of my entire weekend, had wanted to see you live for ages and I was so happy to see you that I actually cried with happiness afterwards. Love your stuff so much.
