Tim’s won the 2011 Helpmann Award for Best New Australian Work: Tim Minchin Vs Sydney Symphony. The last night of this show was broadcast by ABC2 in April this year. This isn’t the first time he’s won a Helpmann – back in 2009 Tim won the Award for Best Comedy Performer for his show Ready For This?
Established in 2001 by Live Performance Australia, the prestigious Helpmann Awards were announced last night, at the awards ceremony, at the Sydney Opera House. Forty-one awards were presented for theatre, musical theatre, dance, opera and music.
The full Helpmann 2011 Winners List can be viewed here.
By the way, you are all signed up to Tim’s mailing list aren’t you?

PLEASE come back to America. I just found you yesterday and saw today that you toured near my town when you were in Portland, Oregon. I expect it will be awile now, but i am hopeful you will come back. When you do, i will be there… with friends and a smile. Ive been having a shit time lately…struggling in my heart due to a pill addiction. My world has crashed and, with the love of my people, im ready to come back to myself. Finding you yesterday made me smile a genuine smile for the first time in long spell and your words reminded me of my sanity. Thank you for helping to restore my color, my soul.

Yeah baby, what a night! We were there and had a ball! Flew up from Victoria just to catch Tim at the Opera House. A night we will never forget.

I’m so pleased this great show was recognised. Congratulations Tim – you certainly deserve it a hundredfold! I am pleased for Ben Northey too – he added to the joyous feel of the concert and your interaction with him still makes me smile every time I (re) watch the program.
