Most of these dates aren't for another few months but people have already started getting tickets, so I may as well advertise it now.

If you want to look out for me or whatever, I'll say what dates I'm going to when I get tickets soon.

Tim Minchin is a comedian, he "[I] write funny songs and sing" according to himself, but he also does some stand-up stuff, not as much as the songs though. He plays piano and can also play guitar, but his main instrument is the piano.

I've seen him about 4 times now and I honestly can't get enough of him, I always leave in a good mood and he makes me feel so good! So I'm recommending the hell out of him! I first discovered him in January 2007 at a stand-up gig for animals. I didn't plan on seeing him cause I went to see Russell Brand and Noel Fielding, but they both didn't show up. I was really upset but Tim was on last and he managed to make me laugh.

I prefer watching him onstage to most people I love, even Noel Fielding! But don't tell him I said that.

I love this man, I love everything about him. What do I love about him? Well:

Everything, I JUST said that.

....

I love:

His 'nervous' stage persona
His songs
The way he always smiles and gets on with things
The way he isn't arrogant at all
His hair
His eyes
The way that he's just so genuinly nice
The way he can be really crude but can still come out of it looking fine!
He doesn't swear to seem cool/funny, like some comedians
His morals that he discusses mostly in his songs, like his view on god, recycling, the environment etc. And even though he goes on about all this, he never seems boring or like he's preaching!
His beautiful Australian accent
The way he's so honest about himself
His awesome pianist skills
The way that he makes playing the piano seem un-boring as it's tpyically a classical instrumant, right? Well he's really good at it so any stereotypical views about pianists being boring, he isn't that
The way that when he talks about serious things, he gets the point across but he always makes it funny and is rarely in serious mode

I don't like:

And for everyone, here's some lovely quotes of Tim's that are my favourite that I took the liberty of typing up:

"The guy sitting next to me is offering me LSD I try my best to be groovy but firm. I tell him, 'Not for me, I just had KFC, I never mix chicken with hallucinogens.'"

"He said I wasn't progressing, said I wasn't moving forward, so I said, 'Well let's see how you move without your fucking legs.'"

"I can have a dark side too....YIPPEE!!"

"This is my brain, and I live in it. It's made of love and...bad song lyrics."

"This is like masturbation - once you've stopped it's hard to get going again."

"Blackout! Fuck yeah..."

"Cause gently molesting your peers, is all part and parcel of your teenage years..."

"Why not...not eat pigs together!"

"Let's shag until the dawn, let's shag until we're done, let's have a little fun, let's get it on. Shag with the stereo, shag with the stereo on!"

*talking about his sister* "She's mine! ...When my dad doesn't have her."

"People came up to me and went, 'Isn't your wife hurt by the stuff you say about her?' and I go, 'My wife MADE me like this!'"

*after talking about kids for ages* "And you know, my friends were showing me pictures of their kids on their digital cameras so finally, we got one...we got a digital camera. We managed to get a baby soon after that too."

"You grew on me...like a tumour. Crept up on me like malignant melanoma, and now you're in my heart. Should have cut you out back at the start."

"Jesus has nipples!!"

"He doesn't want to seem self-obsessed...so he writes in third person."

"For those of you not from Australia, Bundaberg Rum is a type of rum and Charlene is a girl's name."

"I just believe in the things you can see...not the magicy stuff."

"And um, if you're offended easily...you might want to pop out for five minutes?"
