I don't really wanna leave some super long paragraph that's boring and repetitive so i'll keep it short. Tim Minchin is one of the most spectacular performers I have ever seen. Although my knowledge of his existence is through clips of his concerts on youtube, the occasional appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and his epic role as Atticus Fetch on Californication...I hope to one day see Tim play live in New York. I would also love to be able to buy dvds of his concerts so pleeeease make them available to us here in the states. Well it turns out this is a paragraph but lets hope it wasn't boring and repetitive.

Went to see you at Stand Up For Shelter. Absolutely amazing! Unfortunately I missed the last 10 minutes due to silly people with cameras causing a me to have a fit (really do people not realise that flashes are completely ineffective at that distance??), so you really need to come back to the UK so I can see that 10 minutes!!

I wish I had stumbled upon your songs when I was a HS science teacher, because I would have played much of your work in class (& thus sparing me work). As it was, I had to use Penn & Teller's Bullshit instead, which was fine, until my boss happened in on us watching their circumcision episode (which I hadn't actually previewed before hand - something my boss frowned upon). Still, I hope their are science teachers out there, playing your music in class. Finally, just wanted to say, as 1 ginger atheist to an other, everything you do gets me extremely wet. Have a "good friday", and don't get nailed.
Anne on Friday, 29 March 2013
I would hate your ego to overload so I'll skip the affirmation and jump straight to the point: Mr. Jakob Teislev has a point, we are a few Danes who would love you to visit. And whenever you start your solo shows again, surely it will be a world tour? No less for a superstar like you, if I may say so. And you have quite a large fan base here - and we are in dire need of some proper entertainment too!
J. Jakob Teislev on Friday, 29 March 2013
I will refrain from saying that you are supernaturally talented but instead ask you in a non-stalking way "When/if you are thinking of performing in a non-English speaking country (apart from the USA)? And if you are - may I suggest Denmark. Don't go to Sweden - they will be offended"
Ola on Friday, 29 March 2013
A lil' question. Is it ok if I put a video of Tim on youtube if it is already there (but uploaded by someone else), but I am changing it by adding subbtitles (in English and Polish) and not for profit?
David on Thursday, 28 March 2013
There are so many words to be spoken about your songs - awsome, brilliant, sharp. The lift up spirit and at the same time force to think about very serious matters. And your music - it just gets into one's head and stays there for days :) I hope "you'll just keep writing" on and on Best regards from russian fans to you and your family :)
Colin Cowie on Thursday, 28 March 2013
I can't remember exactly how I came across your work, but it just seemed to suit me. And then I found "White Wine In The Sun", which I think is just glorious. Watched it on youtube and bought it from itunes straight away. It strikes home about what is important in life, family! Without wanting to go onto a downer I lost my wife a few years ago, making my (currently young) kids so much more important to me. Your song summed it all up for me. I will be there someday waiting for them (in the cold and wet, this is north east england after all), whenever they are ready to come home! Love your stuff, keep doing what you are doing!

Hi Tim, this is going to sound odd, but I had a deal with my brother that after I had paid off Brian May with Kerry Ellis and Derren Brown tickets, he would buy me Jesus Christ Superstar tickets, (being massive fans and having already seen the tour last time around in Sheffield and loved it) or tickets for you if you go on tour again! So pretty please with lots of ginger hair on top, go on tour again! Thankyou x
Dario on Monday, 25 March 2013
I First came acros you in Californication, and i thought who the f*ck is this guy, realy nailing the acting on how to be a rockstar, so i've googled you and came across your website and seen some of your gig's and i was amazed by the funny but also direct and honest words you've spoke that realy makes people think again about the world, realy inspiring. I've also seen the doc about you "rock & roll nerd 2008" where its shown how you've grown and see an amazing little baby been born, you Sir are gonna be an Awsome dad!
MelodyPan on Monday, 25 March 2013
May I ask your address and ……send you some cookies??[If them can survive the long long journey.
Pasha Levchenko on Sunday, 24 March 2013
Tim, I just want to let you know that in Russia a lot of your fans!!!
Amber Jo on Saturday, 23 March 2013
I'm a bit ashamed to admit that the first time I heard of you was on Californication, but after the first episode this season I was like "who is this guy!? he is fucking hilarious!" After that everywhere I looked there you were, and come to find out you are not just a great actor but also a hysterical comedian and incredibly talanted musician. I've been pretty much addicted to your work since. I like to consider myself a humanist and so I relate to your point of views of religion and racism. You've helped me feel more comfortable in my beliefs in "things I only have evidence for" :) Thank you so very much and keep up the amazing work, I will forever be one of your many fans and dream of seeing you in person one day!
Zsanett from Hungary on Thursday, 21 March 2013
Hi there, I just wanted to say thanks, Tim. I came across your work a few days ago (I know, no idea where I'd been hanging out...) and listened to much of what I could find online. I must say, I haven't been this amused since I first heard Frank Zappa, and that was a long time ago. Frank stays unequaled, but you've managed to come pretty close, in a completely different way. Keep going.
cindy on Thursday, 21 March 2013
Loving Californication. Will you be in the next season? Hope you're in Toronto soon!
Will on Wednesday, 20 March 2013
Hi, I'm Will and I'm 14. Tim Minchin is just incredible. All his work I've listened up to this point have been incredible pieces of music. I'm a christian and I still find his music entertaining and witty. I saw Matilda last friday and the second I got home I bought the album and the music book thingy. I just want to thank Tim for all the entertainment he has brought me.
Katharina on Wednesday, 20 March 2013
Pleeease, Tim Minchin, come to Berlin! We need you here. Love your "black humour and wifes humour" on Youtube!
Carol on Tuesday, 19 March 2013
Hi Tim, I love Californication and found your character "Atticus Fetch," fascinating. Decided to Wiki your name and you're quite a brilliant man. Read about your reasons for wearing eye makeup and it all makes sense When you're on the set, how do the walk ons, the women who appear almost nude while "Karen,"? was having sex w/you, how do they feel. I've often wondered what the atmosphere is like on that set. As a recurring guest, I much prefer you than the "Eddy Nero" character. Loved the scene between you and the woman who plays your spouse (wife.) Hope your character will stay around for a while.
Kelly Coughlin on Tuesday, 19 March 2013
I know you are a really busy man, but I hope you entertain the thought of bringing more cabaret shows to the states. I love your work. Your a genius, and your point of view is truly welcome here.
John Hegarty on Saturday, 16 March 2013
Loved the concert and was glad to see you in and blown away with your performance in Californication!!
MagicMan on Friday, 15 March 2013
Have you considered touring Europe ?
Alexandra on Friday, 15 March 2013
Hi ! I just sent a letter (with an envelope inside) to PBJ management to get an autographed photo. I didn't have any Brithish stamps so I put 5 euroes in the enlvelope inside the envelope. Is that fine? Will it work out? Could you (awesome web fairies) pass the message there. Or something. Thanks a lot :)
Barb Scheffler on Friday, 15 March 2013
Hi Tim! I have just discovered your music and I find it wonderful! I am an atheist and a skeptic, and I find it distressing to hear people I love subscribing to all kinds of "woo" like homeopathy and auras, etc. Your art is inspiring me to work up the courage to confront these crazy ideas and debunk them. (and hopefully keep my friends.) Thank you for the music!
Garry McNabb on Wednesday, 13 March 2013
Hey Tim and the web fairies, I know you say to check the calender and what not about dates for gigs but I was just wondering will you ever come to Ireland? Ya know that small country off the UK? There's some pretty cool people here that would be truely graced by your presence. Reply would be great thanks!
Wendy Parker on Tuesday, 12 March 2013
Tim, do you really read all these messages? I cannot compete with these intellectual fans who write witty, incisive and florid comments, all I can do is tell you I love your work. You have such a gift, to make us think and smile at the same time. I have your dvds to watch, including JCSS and your performance moved me. Do you think you may take on any more acting roles, whether in musical theatre or plays? I see you're doing R&D are Dead, will that come to the uk or be able to be purchased on DVD I wonder? Anyway, you have too many tweets to ever see ones from me (unless you're ignoring them?) so would be nice to know you read these occasionally. so much admiration for you Tim xxx
Carolyn Turmaine on Tuesday, 12 March 2013
Oh Tim, Tim, Tim. Do you have any idea what your impact is on the world? You are loved in our household, an age span from 15 to 63. As I always say, you're not famous until there is a pumpkin carving of you. You're the best looking pumpkin I have ever seen.
Charlotte Smith on Monday, 11 March 2013
Tim, i love you. You are amazingly talented and super good looking but please next year, maybe- just maybe could you have a gig in london in june... Pretty please :) xx
AnotherTim on Sunday, 10 March 2013
From one Tim (probably older than your father) to another: None of the genres I've heard you work in are exactly my supersized cup of espresso, but you've brought them alive for me just by touching them. I do recognize when I'm in the presence of a superior life-form. You are, among other things, what Lehrer might have hoped to be, had he not had the misfortune to be born in such puri-tyrannical times. Offhand I can't think of a better writer, and it is just exceedingly rare to find such capabilities packaged with performing "chops" of equal stature. Beware of trying to do the impossible, though. It'll be astounding if even you can salvage Jesus Christ Superstar...there's just not much to salvage (meow).

A fan of Californication on Showtime, I stumbled across this wacky "excess suceeds best" man of whom I had never heard. Off to IMDb to find out who he is and how I can "get more of him". Luckily for me he has a 2013 production on Showtime at Royal Albert Hall with the Heritage Symphony Orchestra. So bizarrely (sp?) entertaining with a unique mix of talents. The kind of artist I will buy an airline ticket from Dallas, TX to anywhere just to see him in person. Bold creativity is not dead. Eureka.
Kate Laidlaw on Saturday, 9 March 2013
I agree with KJ. Matilda; GET TO AUSTRALIA!!! Performing "Smell of Rebellion" for a cabaret. It's so much fun! Please bring it to Australia soon!
KJ on Saturday, 9 March 2013
Could Matilda come to Australia soon please??
Lisa on Saturday, 9 March 2013
Hey, I'm a 24year old Aussie living in Toronto, Canada so I can work backstage in theatre; and I just want to thank-you for the your song "White Wine in the Sun". It's a real cure for homesickness. The lyrics are beautiful and I can see the story unfold in my mind's eye. Sometimes hearing an Australian accent can be a precious thing when you're feeling out of place. 'White Wine' is up there on my 'homesickness cure' playlist with Peter Allen and the Finn Brothers. I just figure once in a while songwriters should know what their work means to someone else...
Liz in Oz on Thursday, 7 March 2013
Well Tim, we already have our tickets for JC Superstar in Sydney and 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern' with the STC. And now my husband tells me we are going to London in October and he has bought me tickets to "Matilda"!!! I hope this doesn't count as 'stalking', but we are very excited to have these opportunities this year. Look after yourself and don't wear yourself out! (Sounds like you need to find a different hotel in New York when you return - how on earth did they give you a noisy room when you were there last?....saw your tweet). Take care and stay well
Ruth on Wednesday, 6 March 2013
I think you're fucking fantastic. I love your music, and think your incredible and hope one day you go to an area I can actually get to to buy tickets to see you.
phil on Tuesday, 5 March 2013
sorry about the 'your' which should be 'you're' ( eeeee! and me an English teacher an' all worramalike!)
phil on Tuesday, 5 March 2013
Hi Tim, Every now and then the electrics on my car go a little crazy, ( battery light stays on, central locking decides not to work) although most of the time they're fine. Someone said it was the alternator, what do you think? Keep up the good work by the way your definitely the best new talent around. Brilliant stuff. "He made me chortle" Phil.
Todd Wagner on Tuesday, 5 March 2013
Simply Amazed! I had never heard of you. I have now shared you with all my friends. What talent what refreshingly new entertainment. Thank you for the tears of laughter and thought provoking intellect. Any chance you will perform in (USA) Seattle, Washington? By the way you perform in Seattle our bakery of 4 generations will supply you with cookies and yes will deliver.
Lena on Monday, 4 March 2013
I've just seen the Blu-ray Jesus Christ Superstar and was completely blown away. You were amazing! But everything was perfect.
Rutger on Monday, 4 March 2013
You're brilliant. Love the lyrics. Just the way it is! You translate my thinking into fantasticly formulated well thought words. Keep up the good work and please come to Holland PS. first saw you @ Californication
David on Monday, 4 March 2013
Dear Tim, Just saw some great songs from you on a dutch website and watch many more on youtube. Just need to say, your shows are great! And you really need to go to the netherlands to give us dutchies a show! We will give you not a ten foot cock, but we will give a few hundred virgins! You're welcome!
Kate Edgar on Sunday, 3 March 2013
Hi Tim, just to let you know that Downton Primary School (near Salisbury, Wiltshire) will be performing "When I grow up" as one of their pieces in the final of the Barnardo's Choir of the Year competition at the Barbican tomorrow, March 4th. We also did a school "Downton's got talent" competition last Friday, which 4 year 3 girls won with their amazing performance of "Revolting Children". Downton loves Tim Minchin!

Hi to folks going to Friday night gig! Well, I just flew in from Vancouver, Canada (the west coast) forTim's show tonight. I was lucky enough to check tickets, on a whim, just after second show was added. Why not go? Ticket was a steal.Will deal with the plane fare later! I know this seems a bit extreme, but I am not a "stalker". Just think that Tim is "genius" and this would probably be my only chance to see him in a small venue, ever, as his career trajectory ,deservedly, grows. So,look for me, especially ex-pats, as, obviously, I don't know anyone going tonight. I am a "bottle" ginger, of an age, wearing mostly black, seated, hopefully, near the front.
