Irresistible huh?
So, there are still a few tickets available and although you can access all the links via the gigs page, here they are, all listed prettily below for your pleasure and clicking convenience:
There have been a fair few questions asking whether there’ll be a DVD of Tim’s orchestra show, and now we can confirm that, yes, there will be!
Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London in April 2011 with the Heritage Orchestra, this DVD will be available to buy from both the UK and Australia.
Currently, no other information has been confirmed, despite what you might have seen elsewhere, but as soon as there’s any more news on it, we’ll be sure to let you know, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!
Chances are you’ll already know about the highly successful and much lauded Matilda The Musical, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years. Based on the Roald Dahl book, it was produced by the RSC and directed by Matthew Warchus, with Dennis Kelly writing the book and our own Tim Minchin providing the music and lyrics, and it ran at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from November last year, through to this January.
Now, if you’re anything like us, you’ll be wondering, that’s such a short run for such an amazing show, so will it be heading to the West End? Well, we told you at the end of March, that it will be, but now is the time to unleash the all-important and exciting details!
Hey you swinging Texan cats! Do you fancy heading to a hip happening on 1st July 2011? If so, I know of just the thing for you guys!
On that very day, Tim will be performing in Austin, bringing his shagadelic mix of comedy, music, wild, untamed hair and unfeasibly tight jeans to the Paramount Theatre!
Tickets will be on general sale on Friday, from here, but we’ve got another groovy presale code that will let you buy your tickets now from a limited allocation! If you want to buy them now, this is link you need and the password is “reese”.
Were you in America or Australia last night and did you manage to catch Tim on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, given the late notices on Twitter and Facebook? Either way, it doesn’t matter as cbs have uploaded Tim’s section of the show to YouTube for your viewing pleasure!
You know that statistically correct love song he does? Well it’s that one, but arranged in a way that you’ve probably never heard before! It’s worth a peek for that alone and he does look rather suave as well, it has to be said.
Of course, this is all to promote the gigs that Tim’s got coming up over in the USA and Canada in the next few months. You can find the full details of all the confirmed ones over on the gigs page and there are more still to be announced, so keep checking back or keep up to date on Twitter and Facebook!
And the North American dates just keep on coming in!
First up, on July 2nd, Tim will be returning to California, this time to the City National Grove of Anaheim, in, erm, Anaheim. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon from Ticketmaster.
Secondly, after appearing at both Just For Laughs Chicago and Just For Laughs Toronto, Tim will be heading to Just For Laughs Montreal with quite a busy schedule!
He’ll be doing three solo shows on 28th, 29th and 30th July at L’Astral, as well as taking part in Modern Love: The Relationship Show at Place des Arts on 29th Julyand doing two shows with Bo Burnham for Amp’d at Club Soda, both on the 28th July. Phew! I hope someone’s going to be keeping him topped up on caffeine!
Tickets for the solo shows go on sale on Saturday at 10am, with the others being available to buy soon, from the Just For Laughs website.
Update: The Amp’d shows seem to have been taken down from the JFL website. We’ll update if and when they come back.
Like small festivals in the UK? Well, Tim is set to headline the comedy stage of the inaugural Apple Cart Festival in August!
The Apple Cart is a one day festival, which will take place on the 7th August, running from 10am to 11pm, at Victoria Park in London. Appearing alongside Tim on the Comedy Stage, will be Marcus Brigstocke, Jon Richardson, Kevin Eldon, Abandoman and more!
In addition to this rather good comedy line up, there will also be a magic stage, curated by members of The Magic Circle, and a music stage, headlined by Saint Etienne and also featuring Badly Drawn Boy, Magic Numbers alongside many others.
Early bird tickets for this happening are available now, for a measly £25, from the Apple Cart Festival website, where you can also view the complete lineups for all the stages!

Tim: “Not only are Pete and Brad reasonably good-looking and quite competent on their respective musical instruments, but they have garnered the basic skills required to read and write words. So we thought we’d celebrate the final shows of our epic and wondrous orchestral spectacular by encouraging them to express themselves in prose on this here blog. Exciting.”
You can still catch Pete Clements and Brad Webb at the final three dates with Tim and The Heritage Orchestra in Glasgow, 8th May; Sheffield, 10th May and Liverpool, 11th May. Details and ticket links below or via the Gigs tab.
