Love the intelligent humour, and funky music :) Hey Tim, come to the Netherlands and I'll buy you a beer. I'm no ninja, but I do run for good causes!

I have recently introduced my husband to the wonders that are the lyrics of Tim Minchin, which I am starting to regret slightly. Not in a bad way, in an "oh-my-god-will-this-man-never-ever-shut-up" kind of way. Since watching one of the live shows on Netflix, he has had the very ridiculously catching line "fuck I love boobs though" stuck in his head, which he will randomly declare throughout the day. He has said it's ridiculously hard to not say it when working, which could end disastrously if he came out with it, as he's a youth worker. It is funny in the middle of a debate over the dinner table, though. Keep up the catchy lyrics, Tim!!

You are admired and appreciated! Thanks Tim.

Just wanted to say I have recently discovered you on Youtube... YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME. I hope to see you live sometime. I dont know if you ever will swing thru southern America tho (I live in Arkansas). But, I will keep hoping!

Just caught you on Netflix in the U.S. You have to come to the states and tour before I die, or if I do die earlier I want some of your songs played at my funeral. I don't have a terminal disease or anything like that so I'm not expecting a funeral anytime soon, but if I did would that get you here any quicker? Probably not, so please get here before I pass along...(or an all-expenses-paid trip to Australia would be nice, too!) Seriously, love your style!

What a wonderful gift you are to this world of sameness and conformity and mass consumption. THANK YOU!

Hey Tim just came here to say that you're really awesome. I love your work, you're pretty talented. I glad to have found your videos and glad to live in a world that Tim Minchin exist. Hope everything good for you. Big hug from Brazil (I'm waiting a concert here alright? haha) keep it up man.

Dear Tim, I am obviously very amused by your art or illustrative whining about stupidity and poor judgemental and logical skills of humans. Currently I am listening to your song “Prejudice” and having fun here. So I have been thinking recently whether you may have an opinion about my dilemma: Suppose in case Superman was to drink a cup of coffee in a coffeeshop and he notices on top of the service being rather bad that the milk is out of date. Now is he going to report it or put in a complaint as any responsible citizen would do? Or is he going to say it is a waste of his very valuable time that is mainly for catching flying people to have sex with them afterwards? Is he allowed to judge whether improving the general quality of service and avoiding food poisioning of others is worth the same as having a self-indulgent conversation with Lex Luthor about what is right and what is against Mr. Superman’s taste and then lighting up himself in front of a crowd as saviour (is that how they spell it?) of the weak? If he is from another planet and much smarter than us, isn’t he supposed to start doing freakin’ cancer research to save a lot more people than he is doing currently (even if he only cares about Metropolis) and shouldn’t he be also brave enough to take the risk of failing badly at research because he was (and who wouldn’t be) really lazy to study science when you can shoot fucking lasers from your very eyes? Is he allowed to distort the general public’s taste by advertising very ill-matched color schemes? It would be my pleasure to listen to/read your thoughts about the ethical aspect of our fantasy heroes’ work in general. There are much bigger concerns of mine of course. ARE YOU COMING TO EASTERN EUROPE? HUNGARY? I am sure you can overlook my spelling or grammar mistakes. Best retards, Balázs Török secret admirer (hands over duvet!)

I already posted on another page, but just discovered you Tim! What the fuck...how have I not discovered you sooner? But that's what happens when you raise teenage daughters and spend most of your life driving them places and fighting about acne!! But in any case, we watched your Netflix special the other night and I kept thinking your voice sounded so familiar. I thought...has he been on Broadway...that voice...it's like an awesome musical. Then it hit me...Matilda! Yes, that's it! So we loved the musical Matilda, and you are a force to be reckoned with! You have a fan in me!!

You are so fucking rock You are so goddamn rock You are so motherfucking rock. Don't you know I wanna rock it with you. I mean, really, what else is there to say?

Sang my Tim Minchin-inspired song (to "Not Perfect") during church service, as planned. Yep. Your name was in a Methodist Church bulletin in the U.S. I think I'll share verse 2 with you: Organized religion Sometimes scares me. When there’s lots of rules and Toxic hatred So much damage to the world. When Christian hatred is unfurled. It is really not what we’re supposed to do. If I blame these shooting tragedies On people who are not like me I give all Christians a bad name to the world. Organized religion Can be unkind In the name of Christianity, God’s love’s undermined It’s not perfect It’s not fine. It’s not perfect….

Hi Tim, your work is amazing, I recently introduced my girlfriend to your work and she loves it too, if you plan to tour at all in the U.S.A you should come by The washington D.C. area!
Andrew Gobeil on Sunday, 16 November 2014
Tim, you're absolutely brilliant! Can't tell you enough how much it makes me happy to watch you play. I hope you come to Canada some time soon!
Becky Pettitt on Saturday, 15 November 2014
Hi, So I was one of the fortunate ones who pre-ordered your Storm Limited Edition book way back in the Spring. Using a card that unknowingly expired before its release. They e-mailed to advise on three occasions but as those emails go through to my husband's phone, he presumed they were spam. My order was cancelled. I was just wondering if your name or work has ever been cited in divorce papers before? ;-)
Marcus on Tuesday, 11 November 2014
Hi tim I'm a year 7 student at Christ Church right now and I am doing my inspirational people research project on you. Is there any chance you could tell me some of the challenges you faced in your life? Thank you.
Mary on Sunday, 9 November 2014
You are amazing, and I'm a huge fan. Please tour the U.S. We need you to encourage us to think. True confession time: I'll be singing "Not Perfect" (with some of your lyrics and some of my lyrics) in a church service in which we will be changing our mission statement to ensure that the LGBT community know they are welcome. (See? Not all U.S. Christians are toxic fundamentalists.) Don't worry. It won't be recorded and show up on U-Tube. It's just for us. Verse 1 is basically your "earth" verse. Verse 2 is about toxic organized religion. Verse 3 is about our denomination, changing but still having a way to go. Verse 4 is about our church's decision to live the way we should, and Verse 5 is about how we are all perfect....and welcome.... It turned out pretty good, I think. As I prepared this, you gained some new U.S. fans (like you need fans...you have quite enough!) Thanks for expanding our horizons, filling out ears with beautiful piano renderings, and making us think and laugh.

When are you next planning to come to New Zealand? Since having introduced your songs/performances to a number of my friends we are all SUPER keen to come and see a live show.....

Thank you, Tim. After watching the "occasional address" for a graduation ceremony at The University of Western Australia, I made some decisions on how I should live my life. Even though I've heard some of the ideas in the past, on graduations or classes, currently I'm kind of lost in the busy & lazy life without knowing why. As a result, I'm totally a mess in almost every aspect, unhealthy, leaving goals failed, leaving my house uncleaned... So now, with the most valuable suggestions from my favorite musician, I'll start to make some change by jogging regularly, trying to get my health and motives back on the right track. Thank you. Your big fan from Taiwan (Formosa).

In the other life I lead, the one that has me up at three in the morning walking my dogs, stealing flowers from the neighbor's yards, and hanging out with imaginary friends, you've become one of the cast of characters who shows up at the oddest times. Singing about boobs and bears and white wine. Unless of course, it's that guy from Two Door Cinema Club...
