Tim will be opening the Greenwich Comedy Festival on the 5th September, alongside Holly Walsh and two other acts, who are still to be announced. The festival will take place in the Old Royal Naval College, with the other acts performing including Rich Hall, Milton Jones, Kevin Eldon, David O’Doherty and Abandoman.
Tickets for all the shows and the full line up of who’s performing so far, are available from the Greenwich Comedy Festival website.
Who do you hope will be joining him and Holly Walsh?
If you missed out on tickets to see Tim at Bonnaroo or if you, perhaps, simply want to see some more of him, then read on!
Tomorrow at 6pm ET / 3pm PT, Comedy Central are hosting a three to four hour live webcast of some of the comedy acts that are appearing at this weekend’s festival, and one of them is none other than Tim!
He’ll be appearing along with acts such as Bill Bailey, Lewis Black, Henry Rollins and Donald Glover. The full line up, and, eventually, the link to stream this comedy extravaganza, are available on Comedy Central’s website.
While this is streaming over the internet, it’s unlikely this will be viewable outside of America due to copyright, but there’s no harm trying, right?
And if it ends up leaving you wanting more, don’t forget, there are a host of US gigs still to come, with a full list of all the dates on the gigs page.
And another four American tour dates have been confirmed, for those near Atlanta, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Philadelphia!
Atlanta, Tim will be bringing his flashy dance moves and bare feet to Center Stage* on the 14th July 2011.
St. Louis, you’ll be treated to Tim’s skin-tight jeans and stupid hair at the Sheldon Concert Hall** on 15th July 2011.
Minneapolis, join Tim at the Pantages Theatre on the 16th July 2011 to see his rockin’ eyeliner and his enormous… sense of showmanship***
Philadelphia, Tim will be rocking up to the Theatre of Living Arts on the 22nd July 2011, showing off his witty repartee and massive… repertoire****
Tickets for the Atlanta and St. Louis shows go on sale tomorrow at 10am – Atlanta tickets can be bought from Ticketmaster and St. Louis tickets can be bought from MetroTix. While they both say general sale commences then, if you do need a password, it’ll be ‘reese’.
Minneapolis tickets go on sale on Friday from Ticketmaster from 10am CDT and Philadelphia tickets will be available from LiveNation from Wednesday at 10am EDT. While we don’t have any presale information yet for these two shows, if we do get any, we’ll be sure to update this post with it, just for you, because we like you.
Update: There will be a Minneapolis presale from Wednesday at 10am. The password you’ll need for it is VOICE.
And, if none of these float your boat, don’t forget there are already plenty of other US dates already announced on the gigs page!
*The flashy dance moves and bare feet will also be making an appearance at the Sheldon Concert Hall, the Pantages Theatre and the Theatre of Living Arts.

Following his extremely well received US TV debut on the show back in January, Tim’ll be appearing on Conan on tbs at 11/10c again on Tuesday 7th June, 2011. The other guests are rapper and TV personality Flavor Flav and Australian chef, author and TV personality Curtis Stone.
If you’d like a reminder of his last perfomance of ‘Inflatable You’ on the show, do take a look here.
What are you hoping for/predicting he’ll perform on the show this time?
Edit: Last time the show aired in Australia on GEM a few days later. We have no confirmation that this will happen again but it might be worth looking out for, just in case. If it happens, it’ll likely be Thursday 9th June, 2011 – 11:30pm
Another day and another American tour date (and there are still more to come) and, like yesterday’s, this one was highly requested by you guys!
So, allow me to announce that Tim will be heading over to the Bay Area for a gig in San Francisco! The show will take place at the poshly named Palace of Fine Arts on 8th July 2011 and tickets for this shindig went on sale this very morning from Ticketmaster!
If you like your comedy combined with a mixture of piano playing, intelligence, big hair, bare feet and impossibly tight jeans, then you’d best get your mitts on tickets sharpish, else you’ll feel a fool when it’s all sold out, and no one wants you feeling a fool, especially not the fool…
Yet another date has been added to Tim’s US tour! They just keep on coming and it serves you right for all that requesting. Yup.
This time Tim will be hitting the Warner Theatre in downtown Washington, D.C. on Saturday 23rd July 2011.
The theatre is just three blocks east of the White House so it’ll be very easy for everyone *wink* to find…
As with the rest of the US dates this will be a solo show: Tim, his grand piano, an excruciatingly tousled hairdo, quite a lot of eyeliner, decent threads, loads of furious energy and some bare feet.
Tickets go onsale tomorrow, Friday 3rd June at 10am EST and are available from Live Nation.
Tim will be appearing at the Beautiful Days Festival, Escot Park, Ottery St Mary, Devon.
Tim will be performing in The Big Top (Stage 2) on Sunday 21 August 2011.
The line-up of comedians for ‘Scary Dave presents’ on the Saturday and Sunday afternoons in The Little Big Top (Stage 3) includes: Sol Bernstein, Dougie Dunlop, Debra Jane Appleby, Paddy Lennox, Bentley, Scott Denyer, Rich Allen and Nick Page.
Headline acts: BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE (original line-up), GOGOL BORDELLO (back by popular demand), CARTER USM (UK festival exclusive) and LEVELLERS will be on the main stages.
Tickets are available from Seetickets and from other agencies listed listed here on the website.
Apparently the Sunday theme for Beautiful Days 2011 is SPOTS & POLKA DOTS!
Somebody better tell Tim to root out that bikini then…
If you plan to go dotty, let us know.
Updated to reflect that Tim will be performing in The Big Top (Stage 2) not the smaller Stage 3, as per the updated press release.
Well you asked for it and we didn’t want any ire in Ireland so Tim’s going to be heading to Dublin, for the first time since 2009, to do a couple of solo shows this October!
Tim Minchin Live
Vicar St, Dublin
Thursday 13th & Friday 14th October 2011
Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster on Tuesday 31st May at 9am.
As well as his grand piano and apparel befitting a style guru, Tim will be joined onstage by his iconic dance moves, wildly teased hair, gently calmed eyebrows, natural aplomb and his enormous… sense of occasion.
Tim’ll be swimming [with a float] across the pond very shortly to do lots of gigs for you lovely lot.

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.
