Everything that Tim Minchin says, does, and is, is BRILLIANT. The man is incredibly talented, amazingly skilled, and an utter genius, and were he not married I'd probably be trying to get into his pants. Either you love Tim Minchin, or you don't know Tim Minchin, or you're wrong. ^_^
stage fright from early gigs, playing with no shoes made him feel more comfortable. So he's kept doing it. Fun fact about the eyeliner as well, he does a lot of facial expressions during the show and the eyeliner makes it easier to distinguish them from further back in the audience.
Congrats on finding Tim! I am jealous that you get to discover him from scratch. He is perhaps one of the most talented and intelligent people on this earth, and a nice guy to top it off. He has some offensive material, but it is deliberately offensive to make some very valid points. He is a virtuosic pianist, comedian (though he identifies as a musician first and foremost), poet, writer, director and loves teaching people how to be better humans - stuff like understanding cognitive biases, avoiding tribalism, avoiding indoctrination and the importance of putting yourself in other peoples shoes. Don't just stick to his musical comedy stuff. His new less comedic stuff is great too and he also has some great thought provoking interviews/podcasts. He wrote the music for Matilda and Groundhog Day musicals. He is a genius - check out this one he wrote for Matilda which incorporates the whole alphabet in the lyrics th-cam.com/video/PgcNLTda4Js/w-d-xo.html. He also does a lot for charity - he gives the revenue for the 50 best seats at every performance directly to charity. All the revenue for "White Wine in the Sun" goes to Aspect for Autism awareness and the revenue for his Cardinal Pell song goes to victims of child abuse. The likely reason you're only just discovering him is because he identifies how bad fame is for people and their families and actively makes decisions to prevent himself from being too famous. It's part of the reason why he stepped away from comedy where he was playing to arenas and started writing Matilda. Aussie legend.
@@PianoDiary85 Thank you for all that great info. I've been loving this guy so much I already watched 2 documentaries about him and I started watching UPRIGHT, and I'm loving it. He is a musical genius. My absolute favorite song is "Not Perfect" and the 3 minute song he wrote for late night show appearances. with a UK and a US version. YOU are a superfan !! Im in the US. You must be an Aussie?
@@stocksconfidential8862 Upright is a beautiful show with a wonderful message. It's also very "Tim," considering he is also a musician from Perth like his character. In season 2 there is quite a lot of commentary about religion too which he is very outspoken about. I am from Perth as well, so I'm a bit biased 🙂(about 30 mins from Cottesloe Beach which he mentions in the song "Carry You" from that show). I love the imagery in Upright too because it's not often these parts of Australia are reflected on screen. I love "Not Perfect" - my favourite line is "it never says a bad word about me." His non-comedic stuff is great too - songs like I'll Take Lonely Tonight which is a very honest song about temptation in relationships and shows his loyalty to his wife. He is one of the good guys. Some would say otherwise like the dude who wouldn't rent him the piano, but they're ignorant. Here's a couple of fun performances 😊: th-cam.com/video/V2fQCnXSy4w/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/8dTDRa0o9aA/w-d-xo.html (Tim Minchin and Ben Folds together is almost too much nerdy piano talent for one stage).
There is a photograph online of Tim standing next to Lin-Manuel Miranda at an awards ceremony. Talk about an OMG! Two of the most brilliant and creative men on the planet. The room must've been vibrating with wit and energy!
yuptydoo "When should we all just stop and agree he looks too girly, when he's skipping through a Victoria's Secret with a purse and a mini skirt?" I must say, you and I have a really different view on what's girly. To be honest, when I see girls with fuzzed up hair, heavy eyeliner, beard, male suit jacket, jeans, bare feet and a skull t-shirt, I think they look rather manly. :)
Love tim, was in LA to both shows, front row lucky me. ! and Amoeba interlude...brilliant, awesome, met him, pic w/ him ( dream come true) ! But it seems this video is cut off towards the end.... isn't it? brrrrrrr..
Corey Eacret Im seriously envious dude. I would of love to have gone and seen that. Cuz you know there's little chance of him getting back to this area anytime soon. Hell I would probably make the drive to Austin or Houston if he happened to be going there.
jeremybr2020 trust me when I say I was quite surprised back when we saw he was actually going to be in Dallas. We had gone down to see him in Austin, and never expected a Dallas date to pop up in the future.
Lucian Lancaster Not really, unless you mean it stands in your own mind. Didn't strike a nerve, though. Don't give yourself too much credit. You're not the only moron in the world.
Lucian Lancaster Dude, if you think that's a huge "rant" or piece of writing by any stretch of the imagination, please, stay in school. I am from America and I WROTE that, the least you could do is fucking read it without complaining it's too long or difficult for you. How is that supposed to make me feel bad about myself? If anything it just proves my point even further, so thanks for that.
I never said its too long, I was reading it with a bag of popcorn.... your assuming that I did not read it because I'm not intellectually capable.. spamming your own judgement that your accusing me of in the 1st place... I think you have proven my point.... but go on, I would like to read more of how you feel the need to debate your oh so powerful, american superior piece of mind on how I was wrong to be so judgeful and point out how funny and strangely enough... not so wrong stereo type I was poking at... but oh I poked at a stereotype captain america will go keyboard warrior now, and correct this.... misjudgement ;)
For those who don't know: Tim also always rats up his hair and wears eye makeup on stage, and usually also crazy tight pants. It all started off as a way for him to mock hair and makeup bands, plus give people something to look at while he's stuck behind the piano. After doing it so long, though, it became his own trademark. Now it's kind of retroactively cool.
He calls it "rock star nerd." He also doesn't wear shoes on stage when he is in that mode. He actually looks quite handsome when his hair is brushed straight and he is in "normal" clothes. At one point during his award-winning Australian TV mini-series, "Upright," he put his hair in a "man bun," which looked flat-out awesome on him. You would never guess it, but he went to an expensive all-boys prep school in Perth for 11 years. His father and stepfather are physicians. He holds the equivalent of a master's degree from an Australian university. He is a gifted songwriter, lyricist, actor, comedian, and writer. He is really quite brilliant.
Can anyone tell me what song they are talking about at the beginning of the interview (the song Tim says he never enjoys playing because it is tense)? I tried to find a video of his performance and I do not think they have the particular performance from this show up on TH-cam. I am wondering if anybody actually watched the episode when it was on.
Cooler in that in real life he is far more talented and intelligent than Atticus, and is the complete opposite with his principles (loyal to his wife, doesn't do drugs etc).
well to be honest if a bloke wants to 'skip through Victoria's Secret with a purse and a mini skirt' then really that is his business in my view, I couldn't care less. More important things to worry about than policing whether men dress masculine enough.
Andrew S. I know it's not what you meant, but the image you've given me of an interview with Marilyn Manson with an Australian accent is simply phenomenal.
I feel like he knows the church jokes won’t go down particularly well but liked to test people on it anyway. The westboro Baptist church one definitely went over people’s heads
I know…..looks sorta like AnnaSophia Robb……but in a good way…..love u so mock u, Tim is incomparable, so mean and quirky and clever and charming. I even wanna go to Australia or London for him, because quote Tim, the evidence of love is stalking :p
I'm not really sure what you mean by people who argue against people who seem to feel entitled to decree what people should wear resembling bigots, I don't really think that that's the case. If you think that people of a certain sex should dress a certain way then simply dress the way that you think your sex should dress - and I honestly don't think that that message is in any way bigoted. I think what you're experiencing is people being frustrated by the way in which [contd]
Don't be ridiculous. But how would a guy skipping through Victoria's Secret with a purse and a mini skirt really affect anyone other than himself? My point is that as it affects noone else it would ultimately be his business and it's simply not worth getting het up over.
To be honest I wouldn't say that that is true, I'd say that people are generally fairly judgemental to be honest. I think that if someone lives a bizarre lifestyle then that is fine so long as it isn't harmful to anyone and they don't try and make anyone else feel pressured to do the same, including their own children, who should be raised with an open mind to different lifestyles and not to assume that their parents' is the only correct way to live. I would include relgious beliefs in this also
I wouldn't say that one's perception of a passing stranger really has much of an effect on one's life. I personally think that we should raise children to be more openminded about gender; I think that parents should raise their children to be aware of the traditional dichotomy (which, of course, they will be anyway since our society makes it all very obvious), but also to accept that not everyone fits so neatly into the binary system and that even people who do may choose to [contd]
So we should only focus on the "big things," while letting "little" things slide all the time, wherever they happen, no matter what they happen to be...?

Coldplaying: to be relentlessly mellow and inoffensive.
Which is funny because that's exactly what the song he played was about
@@Zeppelin616 which song did he play?
EDIT; I think it was the 3-minute song
(Obvious joke)
He wrote wonder wall right?

Tim Minchin is AWESOME
I felt compelled to write that YOU ARE CORRECT SIR
GayJesus bo burnham is great, and a higher level than most comedians, but Tim Minchin is a force of nature. A genius.
Tim is still one of the most interresting artists out there, and he has a talent for storytelling!
He is brilliant !!!
"They don't get irony..." lol
He's right about the buses in Western Australia... Just saying
My two favorite gingers! In all seriousness. So much love.
Two of my favourite comedians in the same small room? Like before even watching!
Exactly what I thought when I saw this video. Damn, didn't even know he has been on Conan!
There is a photograph online of Tim standing next to Lin-Manuel Miranda at an awards ceremony. Talk about an OMG! Two of the most brilliant and creative men on the planet. The room must've been vibrating with wit and energy!
A talk show with Tim Minchin is always worth watching haha he has just such a funny personality.
I find him boring

That sad moment when noone laughed at his church joke.
came to the commments looking for this... :(

Americans get my jokes, they just laugh on the inside...
No one
@@UpWithTheBirds23 *Liberal Hollywood
See him live if you can. Incredible atmosphere and he is mesmerising and just fills the room with his presence and incredible showmanship Adore him.
The most beautiful man ive ever seen
yuptydoo "When should we all just stop and agree he looks too girly, when he's skipping through a Victoria's Secret with a purse and a mini skirt?"

You know as well as I do that I was focusing on the hair and eyeliner specifically, but I guess you win a point for cheekiness =|
its an intentional, ironic "rock star(-nerd as he calls it)" stage look and he owns it. grow up, who cares how he looks hes brilliant
That was such a successful interview, even Conan seems impressed by his wit
I want to see the whole interview. I was laughing through the entire three minutes. Can't imagine what the rest is like.
KidOnTheNet Well, the three minute song is also on TH-cam.
You should interview Frankie boyle , Now that's a show .
Omg frankie Boyle is so meme. I like the part when he only talks about celebrities and is basically a walking tmz
He totalle reminds me of Russel Brand, not just as crazy though, but clearly as funny.
I love him
Tim needs to stop being so damn hottttt
You may not like his look, his views or what he does in general, but you can't deny the guy's intelligence.
That wink at 0:15 !!!
amen on the west Australian buses aha
fucking brilliant!! lol
He loves cold playing! HAHAHA
I was also at the Dallas show. I really hope he comes back!!!!
What do you mean "look past appearance"? He's gorgeous!
If you like men that wear makeup and don’t comb their hair 😂
@@NittyGritty420 Tim's hair and make up rock, though it's also mostly a stage look.
no shoes ...
It just makes him special!
sure be nice to hear the song
After the "back in West Australia.." bit, that guy's laugh in the audience always gets me! xD
I think he looks awesome and would love to spend a some time at the bar with him
Ahhh what you should have said was:
only a ginger can call another ginger ginger....GINGER!
ahhhh pure gold....
Love this guy!
Wow a shout-out to Phred Phelps from Tim Minchin! Tim and Kansas are like that!
Love tim, was in LA to both shows, front row lucky me. ! and Amoeba interlude...brilliant, awesome, met him, pic w/ him ( dream come true) !
But it seems this video is cut off towards the end.... isn't it? brrrrrrr..
What a good looking chap
Why are so many people here hating on Tim's stage makeup and hair, when we can be talking about his brilliance? Sigh. My good old U.S., I guess.
What an awesome dude
F#*k me, he was in Dallas!? I only just now discovered him and he's hilarious! I live 30 miles outside of Dallas. Dammit!
I was there, getting to hear the piano story live was amazing...
Corey Eacret
Im seriously envious dude. I would of love to have gone and seen that. Cuz you know there's little chance of him getting back to this area anytime soon. Hell I would probably make the drive to Austin or Houston if he happened to be going there.

So now you're telling me you've seen him twice!? As if I wasn't already jealous. Was he with the Orchestra?
jeremybr2020 and no, both times he was by himself. No good photos from the Austin show, bouncers there were friggin strict about it.
He's hilarious! 😂😂

I tried to find a video of his performance and I do not think they have the particular performance from this show up on TH-cam. I am wondering if anybody actually watched the episode when it was on.
Wish I could find the vid of him singing the 3min song for Conan...I can't find him doing his americanized lyrics anywhere :(
th-cam.com/video/MermUSeJJc8/w-d-xo.html
He's even cooler than his character on Californication. I hope shotime doesn't pretend this paragraph is cooler than David Duchovny
Cooler in that in real life he is far more talented and intelligent than Atticus, and is the complete opposite with his principles (loyal to his wife, doesn't do drugs etc).
Thanks! :)
Not just religion, but magical thinking of all kinds.
I can't find it anymore either :/ looks like they removed it
like a boss.
Russell Brands little brother? lol
lol
not even remotely similar. now, if you had said bill bailey's little brother...
When it comes to principles, pretty much the exact opposite of Russel Brand.

Tim is a good Western Australian boy. Conan is right about the buses here though.
'Jesus would take the $1m I reckon'. Awesome.
Loved that line.
He wears all this stuff ironically, to begin with. Now, he's known for wearing this stuff. 'Tim is God.'
lol i thought it was a bearded chick from the thumbnail
I was there, too!! Toe-gun!
its tim's 3 minute song. its on youtube...just type that in
What song did he play? the ginger song would be appropriate.
It was 3 minute song
@@AndreCrema97 That explains why he said it was tense.
Tim Minchin acts and sounds a lot like Marylyn Manson during his interviews. Not that it's good or bad; it's just an observation.
Honesty and care for your craft is universal. Good observation.

What song did he play before this?
heath slater?
Slaters, gonna slate!
ChangeTheGame ... wow, yeah, I see that, but never would have noticed that myself. Good eye!
Agreed.
Russell Brand called and he wants his style back
Tim does this look ironically to mock rock cliches.
is Taboo the song he performed on Conan?
You obviously haven't seen him outside of his performance appearance.
Our buses are very good
tim and conan
1 dislike...wonder if it's the guy that wouldn't hire out his piano?
What song had he just sung?
Marialla His 3 minute song
he lookslike stella mccartney with a beard

You should devote a few hours a week to making it possible to buy that item on your continent, because they sponsored Tim Freakin' Minchin!
Why are you so concerned with what men look like? If you were dating him sure, tell him what you like, but otherwise why does it matter?

Who died and gave you the power to decide what a man has to look like?
Hardly. Are you unfamiliar with his work, or do you dislike him on political grounds? Either way, you're wrong about Tim's intelligence & talent.
