Tim Minchin is coming to the US! I'm a bit excited to see him in New York, and thought some of you might be equally as excited to see him somewhere across the US!
Who is Tim Minchin?
Tim Minchin is an Australian composer/lyricist, musician, comedian, actor, writer, producer and director. In each one of those areas he could be world-renowned but he's managed to combine all of them into a spectacular mish-mash. His shows are funny, smart, challenging and satirical, and for me – one of the best.
In addition to two decades of award-winning live performance and multiple recorded specials, Tim is the composer and lyricist of smash-hit stage musicals, Matilda and Groundhog Day, which continues to return again and again for sold-out engagements in London and other markets around the world.
Sounds great, can I see an example of his work?
Here's my favorite Tim Minchin video – the man is a genius:
Take a break for 11 minutes and laugh your ass off. Let me know if you're planning on coming along!
