Wanna see more of me reacting to Tim Minchin? Just dropped another vid where I reacted to his musical COMEDY: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oINl0sGlhsnek6Q.htmlsi=Dqzt21489rJhRTHq

You think THAT is Tim Minchin performing?! This is only half of it - he's also one of the world's funniest comedians

@@musicaljayden his comedy is brilliant and his serious music is even better. Hasn't written a comedy song since 2009

This is a brief solo interlude in the middle of a massive long song which is the finale of a long night.

Tim is honestly one of the most talented people I've ever seen. So smart, so incredible at what he does, but also incredibly humble and human. Seeing him live was literally life changing. I'm so glad to exist at the same time as this man. What an honour.

If you wanna check out the complete original video it's Tim Minchin Dark side the awesome version

I'd say first take 90 minutes from your weekend and watch Rock n Roll Nerd. Then dive straight down into the Tim Minchin rabbit hole. Often missed is Lullaby, his best love song for his now probably 12 year old daughter.. There is so much more to him and Sarah than in this video. Matilda the musical, Groundhog Day, Upright, and so on. I like some rap and RHCP, but nobody seems to be able to keep up with Tim.

Yeah, he definitely has a dark side too 😅

Tim is awesome. Saw him live the other night and it was the best show I've ever been to. I can't explain his level of talent, intelligence and charisma other than "not human," while making you feel like a completely inadequate human. He really draws you in and manipulates all your feelings - in a good way. He played a bit of Darkside, and when he got to the fur elise part he proceeded to play it in about 10 different complicated styles before transitioning into another song.

Tim wrote Matilda The Musical tahts been on stage in London's West End for years. Also wrote the musical Groundhog Day. His writing & lyrics are excellent

@@musicaljayden the song quiet from Matilda (1h15 on Netflix) is particularly brilliant. Kudos to the whole team that brought that together. Musically, visually, acting … everything.

so glad we can share Australian talents with the world. Thank you for showing. respect

Tim Minchin is also a twice Tony Award nominated composer and lyricist for his work on Groundhog Day and Matilda. In addition to his work as an actor, comedian, songwriter, and producer (I think he has some other credits/talents as well). Watching his interviews he also is incredibly articulate and a deep thinker. He seems to be a very compassionate and humble person who isn’t afraid to confront injustice in his songwriting. He recently appeared on a podcast called Weirder Together with Ben Lee and Ione Skye which is worth a watch. If you’d like to get an idea of his comedic work, try listening to Prejudice. It’s a brilliant piece of work

He and weird Al collaborating would be wild!

Watch him perform Storm :). There a million different versions of Tim Minchin. It's quite possible to get stuck in a Tim Minchin watching rabbithole for years.

Tim's TV series, "Upright" is also a good laugh and kinda sad too.

He hit big around 2004 in Edinburgh. There’s a video about it on KZread, shows him before he blew up. Lovely man. His “White Wine in the Sun” is my favorite holiday song. 😊

I agree. "White Wine in the Sun" is a truly beautiful song, and a must on my holiday playlist.

I don't watch a lot of reaction videos, and I have no idea how my rabbit hole led me here, but MAN did I get a kick out of your video! I remember the first time I watched the video of that special, and watching Tim do that... insanity that he does on that song, I must have re-watched it at least half a dozen times back to back. It was actually that performance in fact that finally pushed me over the edge to start learning piano. It's not that I ever even dream of being that good, but it is the joy that Tim gets out of music... his music, other people's music, it just gives him noticeable joy. I find that inspiring. Anyway, it was also a joy watching someone experience the madness that is Tim for the first time, and I hope you have explored the rest of his performances. He is a rare person, and I am glad you found him!

After seeing him live in melbourne last October I flew to Perth to see his show last week and met Tim. He's just a nice bloke and he scribbled long haired lefty joker on my arm and signed it so I immediately had it turned into a tattoo

You need to find an interview with him and hear him talk about his look and why he developed it. He is hilarious and an amazing talent. He learned piano by ear, and doesn't know how to read music. It's pure talent.

Just saw Tim play tonight at The Regal Theatre in Perth, Western Australia (3rd March 2024). To see him perform live in an intimate setting is next level wonderful 😍

Wait…Atticus Fetch plays piano too??? 😂😂. Tim Minchin is a multilevel genuis! TM for PM, I say….

Tim is described as British Australian although he identifies as an Australian. His parents are from Perth Western Australia and he was born in Northampton UK when they lived there. They moved back to Australia when he was 12 months old. I've only ever seen him in Australia but I know he's done shows in the UK. He's immensely talented.

Tim Minchin is a comedian who plays piano, if you want to see him go and see one of his performances. I saw him in Manchester about 14 years ago, he was alright

Not bad on the piano, had some lessons when young..but mostly self taught..

Minchin became a comedy performer because he wasn't getting any traction as a straight musician/performer or composer. Then he transititioned into acting and then musicals and almost into directing an animated feature but apparently the production company canned it after like 2 years and 40m spent. Anyway, he's primarily a music man. But he got range.
