Tim’s critically acclaimed, record breaking, sell-out show BACK will be in UK and Éire cinemas for one night only!
So if you missed the tour or you fancy reliving the spectacle you can catch it on the big screen on Wednesday 23rd November.
Filmed live at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, with Tim’s 8-piece band, BACK is a comedic and musical extravaganza.
Tim: “The “Back” tour spanned 3 years, was seen by 261,000 people, survived 1 pandemic, and almost killed me. I’m completely stoked that people will now be able to spend 2 hours with my massive f*****g head rendered more massive by massive f*****g cinema screens”.
The Australian edition of Sometimes You Have To Be A Little Bit Naughty is available today!
Sometimes You Have To Be A Little Bit Naughty is a mischievous, funny and empowering picture book inspired by Naughty, Tim’s much-loved song from the multi-award-winning Matilda The Musical and beautifully illustrated by Steve Antony
