TESTIMONIALS
‘Tim was fantastic, very funny and happy to stay behind afterwards…Please thank him for accepting this engagement!”
THE CHERRIES AWARDS 2010
PRESS
”Minchin is a genuine musical virtuoso, whose songs are constructed and sung with an attention to detail that would make Rufus Wainwright sit up and look nervous. And that’s even before we get to the jokes.”
THE TIMES
”Take out a second mortgage, sell the car, and put the money on the safest bet youll ever make in this uncertain world that Tim Minchin will be the next big thing in musical comedy”
TIME OUT
”He plays like an angel, sings like the rock star he always wanted to be and has a devil of a sense of humour. This is an extraordinary performer.”
