    Tim wrote a piece for the 50th anniversary of the Sydney Opera house. All of the words speak of playing it safe while all of his actions were contradictory. It's a brilliant piece with a small cameo by Jimmy Barnes, along with many others. He's written scores for a couple of Broadway musicals including "Matilda."

When you see he was chosen to produce the first ever BBC comedy prom it becomes clear that everyone appreciate his unique and brilliant talent. Try the live version of "Storm" or "Dark Side" or "3 minute song for wossy" or "Mitsubishi Colt" or so many others.

    Tim’s a satirical genius. We all knew where he was going with those six letters, but next thing he’s cleverly switched it around, caught us off guard, and it’s all about being a ginger. The phrase only a ginger can call another ginger ginger really hits home when you swap those words around.

    Tim Minchin is the ulitimate writer/performer. He mixes intelligent comedy and emotion into his material and backs it up with vituoso quality piano playing. In my not very humble opinion, "Dark Side (awesome version) is the ultimate show of his talents. Thanks for all the great aussie reactions, Mike and keep up the great work, and stay safe out there, mate.

    Joking aside, he is really singing about the "n" word without actually singing about the "n" word if that makes sense. He drops a hint in one line when he pronounces the word with the soft "g" instead of the hard "j" sound.
    By the way, about his reference to the ladies dipping his ginger nuts in their ginger tea: in Oz we have a very popular biscuit called Ginger Nut biscuits. And biscuits here are mostly what you call cookies, but they are hard and crisp. Sometimes we call things cookies, such as Choc Chip cookies, but they're softer and doughier. And we don't really have a parallel to American biscuits that you serve with sausages and white sauce for breakfast. They sound like our scones (pronounced scons) but they're sweet, often contain fruit, or pumpkin, and are served hot with lashings of butter, or jam (jelly) and cream. I know, total segue due to the Ginger Nuts - I just wanted to erase whatever traumatic mental image that reference may have formed in your head.❤

      Oh yes... that is well worth watching, especially as he seems like he was barely prepared for it (just like one might be for a uni presentation, remembered at 10pm the night before) and kind of fumbled his way through what turned out to be some very, very good advice. And made the head of school "whoopsies" laugh just exactly in the right moment.

    Such a clever word-smith. The way he plays with words and concepts.

Only he could sing about such a serious subject but make it so funny but thought provoking.

    One of Australia's most underrated national treasures. Think he's just hit canada on his unfunny tour (hasnt written a comedy song since 2009) saw the show twice in Melbourne and perth. Extremely intelligent and just a good person. Always happy to meet the fans my arm is tattoed with hand written signed song lyrics from when i ran into him while i was on holiday. 4 weeks and off to see him in Melbourne in a packed expensive theatre to watch him being interviewed for an hour or 2 about his new book. 58yo aussie grew up with the best live gig industry on the bloody planet in the 80's and 90s and comedy, serious music or just talking Tim Minchin in 40 years is my favourite gig

    Tim is a genius. One of the best pianists around. His song "Grew On Me" is definitely one of the best love songs ever written. It'll make you laugh but it'll also get you right in the feels about love.
    And yes, yours is a great comment around getting stuck in a small category of music - it's very common. I've learned over decades that even stuff I wouldn't think I'd ever like (based on genre or artist) that there's almost always something interesting about it, whether just a clever arrangement or cool instrument or clever or moving lyrics. The streaming services don't have a clue what to recommend me because I'm all over place with my music taste 😅
