Thanks for the memories!

Overrated and overhyped

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Tim Minchin is one of the most talented and brilliant singer/song writers of our time. This show hands down is his best and I have watched it countless times. I actually enjoy it a lot more than listening to his albums because he is so creative in his shows when it is just him and a piano or a guitar. If you have not seen this show, you must! The show itself is almost 2 hours long but it seems as though it is only about 30mins long because it is so entertaining. Although some of his idea are rather radical, he is very smart and it is shown in everyone of his songs. After seeing this film I have made a promise to myself that I would see him live once he comes to America.

I first saw the Australian comedian on The Secret Policeman's Ball 2008 singing a fantastic song for his wife called "If I Didn't Have You", it had fantastic speed and lyrics, and I was really looking forward to a solo show. Comedian, and musician, Tim Minchin plays to a packed audience at London's Bloomsbury Theatre with his mix of fantastic comedy songs, some poetry, and a little observational comedy. In the two hours he talks a little about his theory of the Darwin evolution cycle, babies and having, but it the songs and poem I remember him best. The poem, which made me cry with laughter the first time I saw it, was about him getting angry, and involved him having Tourettes and saying the swear words at certain moments, as if it was part of the sentence. The songs fantastic songs featured include "So F***ing Rock", "Inflatable You", "Rock N Roll Nerd", "Ten Foot Cock and A Few Hundred Virgins", "Some People Have It Worse Than I", "Peace Anthem For Palestine", "You Grew On Me", "Dark Side" and many more. Tim Minchin was number 81 on The 100 Greatest Stand-Ups 2010. Very good!

I just watched this work and found tunes familiar also never seen live in action.A first impression of a performer is a junkie-in-tuxedo.At the end of show the impression is a visually-looking-as-junkie-in-tuxedo, talented, fantastic performer feeling his tuxedo too tight for gigging in. What does make this absolutely casual guy's performing attractive to?A clear accent, sharp wording and professional multi-style acting/singing/piano playing sustain very much his CLASSIC-STYLE CHANSON which will surely place HIM exactly, not lovely sex-saturating Eddie Murphy, Connolly, Robin Williams of the USA, etc, at the summit of a theatrical paramount if his scenic career is not suddenly interrupted, in notebooks on art and comedy.May his erection, Tim Minchin's muse his texts testify steadily to, lasts far beyond a time of artist's physical possibilities to perform at a stage, inspiring Tim's entertaining for good of viewers' generations oncoming.
