Tim Minchin

I must have mentioned him before, but I feel that there must be a thread for the greatest musical comedian from Down Under (and a pretty darn good pianist too). Behold the glory of Tim Minchin:

And his two grand masterpieces, the best Christmas song EVAR and a nine minute-long pro-science beat poem:

Rai, all jokes aside I do like you. But this just makes me WANT to hate you. I can't stand this guy. His songs are comical but his whole stand-up routine is AWFUL

^Then it seems our opinions diverge. Thought I'm yet to see a full show of his so you might still be right, but I doubt it.

he reminds me of duke special, so i can´t look at him as tim minchin himself

but i trust in your sense of humour, rai... even though mine is not alike

i saw a stand up routine of this guy once on tv, didnt know who he was, and while i agree that his stand up isnt that great, he totally make sup for it when he sits at the piano.

An amazing pianist, and a genius of a comedic songwriter, im with rai on this one
