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…

Watched the Comedy Prom and LOVED IT. You were just the perfect host, funny and musically talented to the nth degree. Just waiting for you to come on tour here in Britain so I can come and see you live.
Regards,
Charlotte
We’ve been big fans since seeing you in Anaheim, CA last July! I’d love to buy some of the t-shirts on this site in women’s cuts if it were not all sold in UK and Australia only …
Tim, the Comedy Prom was so enjoyable! *You* were brilliant as host and entertainer! It was uplifting in a dark time. Love your lyrics! All best wishes for your continued success in inspiring people and making them smile. xx
Timm!! I watched the Comedy Proms 2011 and I Loved your Lullaby, it made my mum laugh so much, for which I can’t thank you enough; she hasn’t laughed like That for ages. You were an Amazing host, and I’ve Youtubed you every time I’ve felt down since you were on Jonathan Ross! I’m starting college, and you’ve really took my mind off of it. Thank you so so much! You need to come to Bristol(England) :) Lots of love, Stacey x
Tim, I’m re-watching all your stuff on youtube (for the kabillionth time) at the moment, getting my way through an evening of work & I thought, I wish we had someone like you as our Prime Minister. Then I thought fuck it no, you should be world leader or something of the like.
Keep up the good work of bringing sanity, reason, and vast entertainment to the human race. (Well at least to some of us anyway)
Cheers mate!
Tom
OMG i watched the comedy Prom on I player last night, with my mates, and LOVED IT, havent had a laugh like that in ages, and funny stuff happened afterwards :D heheh but it was worth the wait to order Pizza omonmonmnonm :D My friends also loved comedy prom :D THANKS A BUNCH :D
btw my name is Jasmine Hotham :D

Hey, loved the proms and recently saw your Ready For This dvd, i was wondering if you were planning on doing any gigs in Leeds any time, preferably close enough for me to bus it (cant drive :/) and backstage passes and free vodka would be a bonus, hehe, laters, Suzy xxx
Will you marry me?
I think your incredible and I haven’t been able to get ten foot cock and a few hundred versions out of my head for the past month!
Hi Tim! im ariel.i am 11
I love your songs and are so jealous that you get to play on those beautiful pianos.:)
Im seeing your show on feb the 4th.i can’t wait! Could you maybe write a song on indian hygene issues?
I saw the painting of you at the Archibalds and i thought it was a winner!
Its soo great that you’r aussie and performing world wide because it makes me proud to be australian.
Thank you so much for doing what you do and breaking out of a Pollitically Correct world!
Any way you can get yourself a gig in a Dutch theatre? Preferably in Leiden, but the country’s not that big, so basically any venue will do.
I think you may count on a fair turnout :)
Having lived in London for 8 years, I’m gutted that I never saw you live while I was there. My husband and I love your humour and we are still laughing about ‘prejudice’. pure genius. Is there any chance you could come to Berlin for a show?
Hey Tim! Will you ever come to Sweden? Me and my friends would love it if you could do a show in Stockholm :D
Oh, and I would be a very happy puppy if I could find you on Spotify as well so I could listen to you while travelling (Drowned is very good, but one song is not enough for longer journeys).
Anyway, best of luck and I hope to see more of your fantastic face on DVD:s, youtube and wherever you pop up, Comedy Prom was awesome!
I have to say you really brighten my day – not only because of your wonderful performances and amazing musicianship, but also because you are a really decent, sincere and honourable person. I love the fact that you are prepared to give your opinion and defend it in the face of some pretty loopy gainsayers. And when I read comments like the one from Ariel, 11, who says you make her proud to be an Australian, and another from the young woman who thanked you for making her mother laugh when she hadn’t laughed in a very long time, well I just think that you are the BEST. I hope you are buoyed by all your supporters, of whom there are many. We need your talent, wit and the immense dose of kindness and humanity you bring to every performance. As an Australian, I think we should make you one of our National Treasures!
I Think you are a great person, your songs have very good messages.
Will you be visiting the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne next year ?
Cheers, Lionel
^^ Once upon a time a year 12 student wrote an essay about two of your songs, commented on your guest page, was pleasantly surprised by a personal reply and later on received the only A in the class.
Three years later, that same student is studying a Bachelor of Secondary Education (English), and thinking about using your songs in assignments again due to their deep and provocative messages.
Thank you, Tim, for being such a musical and lyrical genius. I cannot fathom the amount of effort required to sing, act and play at the same time. I hope you, your wife and children are well – Wine in the Sun brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it.
Keep on being a national idol :)
– Jadyn Thone
Well Tim, because of you I am going to go to hell. I liked the idea of floating up to heaven but apparently I’ve discovered that I’m not spiritual and will just have to deal with the fact that I have wheelchairs and walking sticks to poke people with to look forward too.
My 7 year old keeps singing about pigs, my 15 year old keeps singing about shaking babies and all I can think about it is bloody canvas bags when I am shopping. Forget food, I just need bags.
Oh and before I forget, I want to thank Sarah for allowing us to share in the world of Tim, we all know behind every great man stands a better woman! Damn, now I’ll be banned from gigs too, as well as heaven!
Hey tim, please come to holland to do a gig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tim…….You sooo funny i love all your shows………you always making my day and making me smile:)I really wanna see you live ….When you gonna come to Scotland?I missed the last gig in Glasgow…:(You need to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of love …..Laura
heeeey its me again :) yes the stupid little girl from germany who bought tickets for your dublin show for my boyfriend.
well looks like we are not gonna see us in october. im like writing an exam on EXACTLY THAT DAY so we cannot come :(
hm well youre just like…i dont know in the mid thirties? ;D we are gonna have much more chances to see each other. im sure youd like to meet me as much as i want to meet you :p
Come back to Belfast… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Hi, I came to see you last time you were at the Manchester MEN arena, when we all got completely snowed in :-p….. im dying to come and see you again, have you any plans to come to Manchester or Liverpool area? please please PLEASE come back!! x :-) x
Ever considered doing a show in Norway? I for one would very much appreciate it!
Hi, Tim! I’m a new fan….this summer, urged by my daughter to watch your DVDs. She was right, and you grew on me….. so we rarely shop without canvas bags, and totally avoid the taboo word, unless in the context of grating it for curries….and we don’t make any bears dance that don’t want to….We’d like to come to New York to see you early November, but it’s not likely that will work out………Have you been to Toronto before? How about doing a show here?
Thank-you for writing songs with lyrics. Real lyrics and not just repeating noises that are easy to remember. Thank-you for being honest and not caring who is offended by the truth. Thank-you for making me laugh for a moment, because that is precious. Keep going. Cheers,
-K
Simply brilliant. Know that I follow your videos here from BRAZIL constantly, and hope see a gig soon. I love “Storm,” and I have so much fun with your humor.
Hiya,
Just got around to watching the comedy proms – loved it, was very funny and Beardy Man was amazing.
Saw Tim at Reading festival and you were fabulous, great performance and a laugh shared by everyone. Also saw your brilliant hosting at the BBC Comedy Prom, congrats for being the very first host.
Hoping you’ll be back in the UK soon on tour so me and my friends can all see you live
Sarah x
Hi, Tim!
Just wanted to say you’re just the funniest men EVER! And I wonder are comming to Norway some time soon? We’re waiting for you ;)
XOX Alexandra
You’re causing premature wrinkles from me laughing all the time as I watch you on YouTube! Can’t wait to see you in Melbourne this Feb – it’ll be my first live Minchin.
I seem to be the only one happy that the ABC broadcast of the Sydney performance was mucked up & delayed… I’d never heard of you until turning the telly on at that particular time. So it was all for me! Now I’m addicted.
Mr Minchin, you’re so f’ing rock. Thanks for the hugs and chat last night at the Australian Talent event. It made my otherwise completely shitty year (you are so sweet, I now have the most enormous crush on you!) I don’t think I can ever wash again now – so… errr… thanks for that! I hyperventilated all the way home and sang at the top of my voice about hating Jews […], so… errr… thanks for that! And finally I will love you forever for facilitating my discovery of the Axis of Awesome! Love ya! Rx
I stumbled upon the Pope Song on YouTube a few days ago and you are now my new favorite-est person in the world! Miraculously, I googled you and discovered you’re performing in Detroit in two weeks. Obviously, divine intervention was at work here, or possibly lucky timing. EIther way, I bought tickets!
Cairns Queensland needs you, Tim I educate as many as possible and play your DVDs to mates who need cheering up,( along with vino and other poisons) but I’m getting tired, I need your help to educate the many uneducated lost souls who badly need your brilliant, quirky , insightful, funny, majestic, sexy, inspirational, witty, awesome persona personally here………Yes I will make cookies, yes I’ll dye my hair red in your honour, yes I will buy more DVDs to help the cause, Love n Laugh lots Siobhan xx
A buddy of mine had me listen to “If I didn’t have you” and I laughed. I laughed and laughed and laughed. And then I looked you up, and I realized how spectacular you are. How talented and amazing… You inspire me, and I wanted to thank you for that. You rock and I love you and I wish you all the happiness in the world with your career!! You are indeed one very talented human being. Don’t change! :D
you are so hot and sexy and talented!!!!! keep up the great work! you are the best! cant wait for you to come back to texas!!!! <—– come to houston!!!!
Hey, Really you should come back to the States and pop in a visit to Wichita KS. Set up a show with ‘ Intrust Bank Arena’. Love your material and really want to see your show live. If you think you would have trouble filling the arena we have a building called ‘century 2’ and the ‘Cotillion’. The Cotillion is decent but pretty sure you would want the Century or the Arena. Please come here… Please ready to buy tickets and I’ll be checking in.
Also, you actually do good in Dallas? It just seems Americans would be very judgmental of you there.. Maybe not
All I can say is thank you. I am currently pregnant and suffering from all day nausea. I have been re-watching clips of you on youTube and for the past hour and a half I have forgotten how awful I feel. Thank you for the brief relief you have given me. You are fantastic and incredibly talented keep it coming!
yr the BEST
You have a really beautiful voice that touches my heart every time I hear it. Quite frankly, I could listen to you singing on a loop all day. I have recently become quite addicted to listening to you sing “You’d better be home soon” – just sung “cold” in a TV studio – at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGdmX9_41xc&feature=related It made me realise I have heard that song many times before without ever really listening to the lyrics. But you made the song so meaningful. Just how much talent should one human being be allowed to have??!!!
Mr Minchin, I need your advice. Middle-aged people are constantly pulling out their iPhones, HTC’s and other asian manufactured technologies to show me YouTube videos of you. I love your work and have seen the majority of your online videos, but now it has reached the stage where I have seen them all about 30 times, involuntarily. Perhaps what is even more frustrating is the fact that it takes this not old, yet not young age group about 30 minutes to actually access these videos. How do I politely tell these people to put their fucking phones away and that I have seen said video many times before, without reaching that point where I, as a member of Generation Y, become infuriated and snatch the phone away, exclaiming “You don’t even know how to fucking use this, you old man/woman!” Perhaps you could make some blatant racist remark or support third-trimester abortions so that people generally disprove of you (e.g. “Tommy, turn that off….that Tim Minchin is a bad man!”) and boycott your work, so that us younger, desensitised people can enjoy your comedy in peace?
hey tim! i just discovered your song, “f sharp”, and gotta tell you, i have always sung “you light up my life” by debbie boone (from a million years ago), a quarter to a half step sharp while playing it on the piano.. always.. it’s a horrid song, and i thought it sounded best this way.. ha… i love hearing that you are into singing like that, too.. very awesome!!
hi tim.. one more thing: my fiance and i cannot wait to see you in dallas, texas on october 8, 2011!! we have just become recent fans through some serendipitous fortune, and just cannot stop watching your videos, and listening to your music.. and i just found “drowned” about a week ago.. daaayyyy-um!! (yes, i am texan! ha).. we were wondering if you could sing something for us at your show on 08oct? we will be sitting a couple of rows back, stage right center.. our wedding is the week after (oct 16), and if you are free, you are definitely invited to come party with us!
We had to stay in the night of the comedy proms despite being invited by some friends for a meal. Our lovely labradoodle Bronwyn was very ill and making a slow recovery from toxic poisoning, we weren`t certain she would live.
So we sat down to watch the comedy proms, words can`t express how much we enjoyed it especially your song about the baby sleeping or not! You gave us some laughter when we most needed it, thank you. Bronwyn has now made a full recovery and is back to her doodling ways.
Hello, Tim!
I’ve met your job in internet, cos in Brazil doesn’t sell your DVDs. Many brazilians loves your job and you need to come here.
Hey Tim,
My boyfriend and I LOVE your stuff. Downloading everything on iTunes isn’t enough, so can you come to Adelaide again so we can see you live? (We missed you last time!) Pretty sure that would make our year!
Cheers,
Abbi
Can you believe this *prejudice*? Clearly you need to take your fight to places like Denmark!
http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/australia/5651042/Redheads-rejected-as-sperm-bank-bans-deposits
I only discovered your work tonight on the TV randomly. I have not seen such an entertaining show in a long time and will now have to get to see one of your gigs. I want to eat some of your fruit of peace.
Any chance of you performing in Spain?? Please!!
wooooooooo seeing you live on Friday for third time since December, cant believe you agreed to come to Carlisle.
Like one of your other fans, I watched the Comedy Prom and was totally blown away by how fantastically talented you are! I have since bought all your dvds and have watched loads of clips on You Tube and I can’t get enough of your humour and music. You’re brilliant and I can’t wait to see you live, Tim!! xx Ps. I totally agree with you about the word stockbroker!!!!
Hey man, I’m going to see the show at the end of the month in Detroit. I can’t wait! It’s going to be about a 6 hour drive for me to come to the show, but it’s going to be completely worth it. Been following your stuff on Youtube for the last 2 years, and I can’t wait to hear your show live and in its entirety. Unfortunately my wife won’t be coming with me, though sadly she doesn’t like your work. It’s to “risque” for her tastes. I think your work is genius though. Your mastery on the piano amazes me. Have a safe flight in, and have fun man.
Saw you at Beautiful Days festival this year (well, I was in the tent, I didn’t actually manage to see the screen due to being shorter than the giants in front of me) and it was fantastic.
Comedy prom – brilliant (though still not enough even though I have it on download from iPlayer), and then the bonus of watching ‘live’ late last night whilst lying awake with a ridiculously painful trapped nerve in my shoulder. Laughed so much it hurt, hurt so much it made me cry, cried so much it made me laugh. Thank you, Tim xx
Seeing your shown in Dallas on Oct. the 8th! Driving all the way from North West Arkansas, but totally worth it. Can’t wait!!!
Oh Tim, you are sublime….when you rhyme…..in time…..would you like a lime…….
OMG please give me a job writing some lyrics for you!!! I’m coming to see you in Melbourne next year. I cannot wait. You first came to my attention a few years ago when I saw you on TV and then unfortunately I kinda forgot about you for a few years :’ ( but then I came across you again on You Tube and I just fell in love with you. You are completely nuts and incredibly talented. I can play your songs over and over and over again. It’s so hard to choose but I think my favourite is ‘Not Perfect’. To be honest I’m a little obsessed, you can’t tell can you…..?
Elizabeth xo
Saw the show ont’ telly and was blown away, you clever little bastard (nerd). Shows what a good education can do and not do. I’ve got some size 12 crocs red, would you like them? You kept me and the Misus up ’til 2am crying our eyes out, while I did the ironing and shortening her trousers ready for her interview…..so much for an early night in preparation. Cum up North mate and educate the rich socialites, yep, they will be on the front row waiting for the shoes or any kind of apparel ridicule, can’t wait. Good luck and god bless.
We show your work to everyone we know and they all love it! I do hope you come to Seattle sometime soon!!!
Never stop being you.
Hi Tim :)
Nice to find your blog.
Please forgive me if my english is perfectible, i’m french (sorry, not a real choice… ;) )
I discovered you a less than 2 years ago via … the axis of awesome (within “4 chords”, where “Take your canvas bags” is referenced ^^ ).
You’re just amazingly incredible.
I’m completly jealous of your practice of piano, i so would like to play (and play is the exact right verb :) ) only a tenth as good as you do …
You are a motivation to improve my english skills :)
If a day you’re going by France (Normandy), please let me know !
Where do you live? I have cookies, and they’re for you. :D
If I discovered you 10 years ago I would never have quit piano.
Please come to Poland!
Desde Colombia un saludo Tim, es increíble tu trabajo y debo decir que salvaste mi alma de la perdición en el Cristianismo, y gracias a tu obra ahora mi alma esta segura en el bello espacio de lo inexistente. xD
As always, my favorite artists tour all around me, but never come to my city. I think the last decent artist to actually do a gig here was Tori Amos back in 2003. I like Albuquerque, but no good acts ever seem to drag their pianos through here!
In any case, you are amazing, Tim. Keep it ginger.
Um, New Zealand….Can you fit it in, in 2012?
seriously been looking around here to find a talented, artist that makes me laugh already even when i only hear his name, cause all funny things come to mind already… but still NO TIM IN THE NETHERLANDS!! omg, we wont eat ya hun! pls reconsider crossing the ocean and pay us a visit! we need someone like you to show them how it’s done ;-)

god damnit, come to western canada!
hi Tim! i was turned on to your wonderful music and sophisticated sense of humor by my boyfriend’s good friend Dave. all 4 of us (myself, my bf, Dave, and Dave’s wife) are in love with you, and i would love to see you live in concert someday. Dave and his wife have already seen you live several times (jealous). hope you come back towards Pennsylvania soon. if you wanna chat send me an email. :) Love ~MK
Tim Minchin, I really hope you read these comments. Weed, Xanax, and beer (me right now). I’ve thought of all the things I want to tell, but couldn’t express them now because of those drugs and also laziness from all the typing I’d have to do to express what is running through my head isn’t possible. I respect you sooo much it isn’t even funny. I will reply back later when I am fully functional to fully explain my love for you as a, in my opinion, completely down to earth human being. I wish you all the best and I hope to reply back very soon. I really hope you read my next post because I want you to know someone who has had a rough life but is fully aware of what’s going on around him opinions.
Please come Finland will ya? I just asked my cousin in Australia to send me your DVD but it’s not enough! :D
You are just what stand-up comedy needs. So keep up the good work!

Brilliant – best and most original comedy for years.
Simply the most amazing comedy and wit I have ever heard.
Dear Tim,
I’m a rock and roll nerd. I keep writing music no one will ever hear. Thank you for making it. At least one of us got there. You continue to be an inspiration to the rest of us. Keeping on playing.
Simon.
Please, please, PLEASE do come to Amsterdam(n)!!! DVD’s, CD’s and you on YouTube are just a very poor substitute for my weary soul (…my what?).
Been having a bit of a rough time the last wee while but tonight I watched Ready For This and I feel far better than I have for a while. It made me laugh, it made me cry but most importantly it made me feel normal. You are the only comedian whose act I actually feel a bit of an affinity with and there are no words to convey the sheer gratitude I have that you do what you do. But I felt compelled to just give it a go anyway: thank you thank you thank you!
Hope to see you next time you come to Glasgow. Best wishes for yourself and your family.
2/3 years ago I randomly stumbled onto comedy central or some similar program and found you! I watched, thought you where a little strange, but I enjoyed it. Looked you up on YouTube and couldn’t yet enough. I waited forever for you to come to Liverpool! You finally did and I just want to say thanks! I enjoyed it a 100 times more than I thought I would. The addition of the heritage orchestra was brilliant aswell. Please make sure you come back to Liverpool!
I happily stumbled upon your fantastic videos while abusing YouTube a few weeks ago and have been pestering friends with video links ever since. I am thrilled I shall get to experience a live performance this coming Saturday. Cheers!
Hey Tim, I find you amazing and you’ve had me in tears of laughter and tears because your music is SOO Powerfull :’). I can relate your songs to myself and it makes me feel really happy, I’m so glad my mate showed me “Ready For This” In a shop. This is becoming VERY Sloppy very sorry. My life would be made if you came to England. I look up to you, I can’t play an instrument but I sing you are my inspiration to keep going. URGH SLOPPY! AGIAN! So sorry. Love, A Fellow Mucked Up Rock And Roll Nerd :) <3
Tim, will you be releasing the orchestra tour as a DVD anytime soon? and if so/not when? and if not why not? I went to the gig at Cardiff and it was brilliant… you’re wrong by the way, arena’s don’t ruin comedy, I was hurting (from laughter) by the end of that gig.
Also, is Matilda likely to come to Cardiff too?
Thanks
CW
Hello Tim, I discovered you a few months back, and I really like what you do. You are funny as hell, but even more so, it is refreshing to see a comedian who is such a great musician. I have no doubt in my mind that music is an important part of who you are and what you do. Your love for music shines thru your material wether is is a funny or a serious song you are performing at the time.
I think it is important to let people who touch your life, know what an impact they have, and that is why I found your website and decided to let you know, just how great you are!
If by any chance you’ll be able to visit either Denmark, Sweden, Norway or Germany I’ll be there to see it. (Upper Germany that is;-)(I don’t even know if that makes sense?))
Keep doing what you do best, and know that there is always a place for you in our hearts and on our shelves.
Love, Natasja
P.S. enjoy the premier of Mathilda. It was always a favorite film of mine, and I am sure the musical is great and will be well received!
Hey Tim, i myself too am Ginger, i heard you back in feburary in my mates “Ready for This” dvd, and was hooked from the first thing i heard you say after arguing gingers should ahve additional anmes was “Only a ginger – can call another ginger – ginger!” Absouloute crease. Your sex & religion songs are halerious and as soon as i get money i am going to one of your conecerts. Have to say it: You are my idol. Loveage Time – you old Tampon!
You made my birthday the best day ever this year at the Royal Albert Hall on the 29th. Please come back to London, i need something to look forward to, whilst doing my exams. Much love x
Tim, why no love for Canada? Western Canada (it’s a big country)… Vancouver, BC or Victoria, BC would be nice… I’ll bring the cookies.
Please come to New Zealand!! Are there any shows planned for NZ while your in Aussie early next year?
Alittle tip about NZ – its not as small as everyone thinks it is, so please do shows in both islands. Better yet just play the small towns, we’re so friendly, it’ll be like going home to grans house. lol :)
You are awesome! Please come to Vancouver, Canada! Or somewhere nearby!
Come to Wales, it’s in britain. you should know it
