Hey you, Americans! Are you starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms after Tim’s tours last year, and do you like secularism and skepticism? Then boy, should you be excited right about now!
Your favourite Golden Lion Tamarin descendant, Tim, is set to rock up to the Reason Rally at the National Mall in Washington D.C. on the 24th March 2012, bringing his silly songs about science and rationalism with him!
The event is free to attend, and will run from 10am to 4pm. In addition to Tim, Bad Religion and Jamie Kilstein will also be performing and there’ll be talks from Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers and James Randi, amongst many others.
Additional information and the full line up can be found on the Reason Rally website.

Lolz, when I heard that a group of people were busing from York University to the Rally I decided to look it up, and I swear my train of thought went “eh, sounds interesting but there’s no way I’d be able t—OMG TIM MINCHIN’S GOING TO BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M ABSOLUTELY GOING!!!!!”

WHAT?!?!?!? YOU’RE COMING TO THE RALLY?!?!?!?!?
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I’ll be there, and it will rock to FINALLY get a chance to see you live… not counting that point when I invite you and your orchestra to come to Florida Atlantic University to play a gig for the currently-being-started FAU chapter of the Secular Student Alliance… :D)

Tim, We are all looking forward to seeing you in DC! Can’t wait!
Tabitha Maser-Clarke on 27th of January 2012
It’s sold out already!! There hasn’t been any Tim news for ages. I was so excited.. Anything else in England soon?
Josh on 25th of January 2012
What about us canadians that cant purchase anything or get to see him live? not fair on us :(
Stacy on 24th of January 2012
YES!!! I knew I moved to DC for a reason! Can’t. Freakin’. Wait.
Cristina on 23rd of January 2012
Incredible sadness that I live in Florida. Would have be more than awesome to see Tim perform, but that’s too far for me :(
harry on 23rd of January 2012
you are fucking mind blowing
Rachel on 20th of January 2012
Hoooooooray! It will be more than worth the 4 hour flight, which I am already dreading, even though I am slowly chiseling away at the beau to allow a 48-hour-straight-driving-road-trip-because-I-can’t-seem-to-be-able-to-convince-a-doctor-to-give-me-happy-pills.

Just watched the son cut from the J Ross show. At one point I worked for the Church Commissioners which was enough to put me off religion for life…and I don’t believe in God. If there was a Jesus he was just a prophet. I had mixed feelings about the song to be honest.Xmas has become so commercial and at least when the focus was on the birth of Christ it had some meaning rather than getting all the gadgets you want and eating too much. Not all followers are bigots…I should know I was brought up in Ulster! I do think comparing Jesus to a dragon will upset some people, but I also feel anyone has a right to express their views and this should not have been cut. However the lyrics did come accross as mocking for no reason and not to your usual standard..as you said you were tired when you wrote it. Also hated the commercial hawking of the video by Mr Ross…this is not what xmas is about. I refer you to your xmas song with proceeds donated to the NAS…

I think time should pop over to Wetsboro.

Make a West Coast stop over to Portland, Oregon pleeeeeaaaasseeee!
Portlandia needs you back here again!
The bacon maple bars are on me. Or choose a food cart…

I laughed so much at the Golden Lion Tamarin comparison! (Didn’t know what one was till I clicked the link.) Thanks web-fairies. x
Lynne on 7th of January 2012
Yes, yes, yes. I am reasonable, and I will be there to see the famous Golden Lion Tamarind descendant, a most excellent example of evolution.
Celia on 7th of January 2012
I just reserved my flights and hotel. Why? Because Tim Minchin will be there! Worth every penny!
LionBear on 7th of January 2012
If there is any chance at all of me being there, I WILL be there. As a fellow possible Golden Lion Tamarin descendant (DNA results still pending), this would so be worth the ride down!
Though if you do plan on doing tours in the New England area, that would rock too.
Emily on 7th of January 2012
I’m there!!!!!
Alia s. on 7th of January 2012
So excited for this…! But now I’ve gotta convince someone to drive me without letting my mum find out where I’ll be spending my afternoon. All worth it to see Tim of course!
Sam on 7th of January 2012
Please, please be careful!! Aren’t there some mighty strange/deranged people over there who might feel confronted by the truth of your viewpoints? They had better take good care of you in the great US of A, that’s all I have to say! I just don’t know why I worry about you as if you were a member of my own family. Nobody else I have every heard of has the same effect on me!
sherrietee on 7th of January 2012
for you, I will brave the District. I even live close to the Metro now! Thank you for doing it on a Saturday so I don’t have to take time off from work.
katie on 7th of January 2012

Amanda on 6th of January 2012
Whaa! What do reasonable Americans who live in Alaska do?!?! Sigh… thank god for YouTube.
Rachel Ward on 6th of January 2012
Are there many reasonable Americans, I thought they all had “god”! You do need to be careful Tim, some of them aren’t just unreasonable, some are bonkers!
lisa on 6th of January 2012
WHY AM I NOT AMERICAN!? :'(
James on 6th of January 2012
The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. has a bunch of Golden Lion Tamarins if you feel so inclined to visit them.
Robin on 6th of January 2012
This reasonable American would love it if you followed Richard Dawkins down the east coast a little ways and honor the Ft Bragg, NC secular event with your presence at their “Rock Beyond Belief.” It’s a counter event to “Rock the Fort” that used Army funds to stage a God-fest. I was thrill to see RIchard Dawkins is speaking! Please, please, please…..please!
Helena on 6th of January 2012
Please pop over to SF!!!
nic walmsley on 6th of January 2012

Lisa Raymond on 6th of January 2012

Lorien on 5th of January 2012
Will there be enough parking in Washington DC for all us non-believers?
Jason Jones on 5th of January 2012
The only thing consistent in life, is inconsistency’, mate! lol
NOT Storm on 5th of January 2012
I agree with ‘a ginger’ – London dates please! Or Birmingham. Or anywhere inbetween. Also, if you could kindly talk to your good friends in Bad Religion, and Richard Dawkins….if I say pretty please?
On that note, see you soon! In London!
Lisa on 5th of January 2012
Dawkins and Minchin in one day. How much better can it get?
Lise on 5th of January 2012
FREE!?? Dawkins, Myers AND Tim FREE?? Why don’t we get that here in Oz? Is that to try and convert a few Americans over to smart thinking? hehehe
Grae on 5th of January 2012
Ticket to Washington DC – $400
New shorts and string vest – $10
Enough Booze to make two grown elephants fall over – $450
Watching Tim sing ‘I love Jesus’ in the states – PRICELESS
:D
Robin on 5th of January 2012
I am an American…I am reasonable…I am willing to take a 5 hour road trip…I am there!!!
Dan Boyle on 5th of January 2012
