An Exclusive DVD Announcement!

Sun, 17 Apr 2011 09:00:52 +0100

So, the question on everyone's lips is, "Will Tim be releasing a DVD of his Orchestra show?" Well, I guess now's the time to reveal the answer, with a resounding YES! The DVD is being recorded at the two Royal Albert Hall gigs later this month (if you've still not got a ticket, there are some left for the 29th�) and will be available in the UK later this year. If the details in the lovely, shiny pre-order list below are to be believed, it'll be released on the 14th November, though that may be subject to change. Sainsbury's Base.com Play.com HMV TheHut.com Zavvi Asda Amazon.co.uk If you're in Australia, you'll be getting the same DVD (for a change!) at around the same time, though we've no links for you to pre-order it yet, unfortunately.

Tim Minchin vs SSO - Live on ABC2!

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 06:57:28 +0000

Aussies, did Tim's orchestra show sell out too quickly for you to be able to grab tickets for yourself? Good news! on 27th March, ABC2 will be broadcasting Tim's show live from The Sydney Opera House! There's a nice little trailer for the show [here] but do be warned, it contains a couple of spoilers!

Booked Up - Tim donates Matilda for an online book auction!

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:49:11 +0000

Tim has donated a signed copy of Matilda to raise money for Kyilla Primary School in Perth, Australia to promote literacy in their school. Many celebrities were asked to donate book which has had a profound impact on their life so it's no surprise that Tim chose Matilda after the past year or so! The inscription reads: "This is a book about a kid who loves books. Matilda taught me that with imagination and knowledge (and a little bit of mischief!) we can put things right. Even if we are little." Tim's book, and others, can be bid on [here], though it's worth pointing out that Tim's is already at $210AUD already and there are still 13 days left!

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 07:08:38 +0000

Tim will be hosting the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Opening Night Comedy All Stars Supershow on 30th March 2011! Also, for some strange reason, there are still tickets left!

Another Orchestral Album

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:30:02 +0000

Right, so I'm hoping no one thinks that this is a swiz, but... Tim will be releasing a new CD of his orchestra show, recorded at Manchester Arena but mixed properly afterwards for a decent sound. Aussies, you'll get your mitts on this first as Tim will be selling at his shows over there. Everyone else, it'll be released on iTunes towards the end of March, and will be available as a CD online at some point, as well as at future UK orchestra gigs. Oh, and it's the music only - no talky bits - perfect for your mp3 player. Official word is that the o2 recording was a limited one, so lucky you if you got your hands on that!

Sitting on The Fence?

Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:37:06 +0000

So Tim's been into the studio and recorded a version of The Fence off of his new orchestra show (not recorded with the orchestra though) so obviously this will be a massive spoiler if you're looking to stay free of them. It's available exclusively from iTunes [here] Oh, and feel free to review it in glowing terms and give it five stars (as if you'd do anything else, right?).

Dave have made available all the episodes of Carpool available to watch online, including the one done with Tim. While it's not the unedited footage that will make its way to the Carpool podcast at some point, it's something for the interim. Tim's episode, also with David Baddiel, can be found [here]. Tim's bit starts at around 12:15 and be sure to check out his sexy three-quarter length jeans! Update: It doesn't look like this is available outside the UK.
