Minchinism, a website dedicated to Tim Minchin!
Tim Minchin is a Rock 'n' Roll nerd and genius. He is a comedy God, who writes and performs his own shows, he plays piano to an amazing standard, and has a unique look which involves wearing no shoes while performing, wearing coloured contact lenses and having chemically straightened hair.
Tim was born to Australian parents in Northampton, UK on the 07/10/1975. He soon moved back with his parents to Australia and grew up in Perth, Western Australia.
Tim now lives in London with his wife Sarah and their two small children.
Tim is a great believer in science, and the evolutionary theory, and a lot of his act (songs and stand up) are based around this, and other topics he finds relevant, for example, canvas bags, the plight of the dancing bear, and songs for his wife, all of course with Tim's humorous twist!
He has so far done four huge tours and released CD's and DVD's of these. He is becoming well known on TV and Radio shows across the UK, Australia, and America. (Such as starring Californication)
Tim has also turned Roald Dahl's magical book Matilda into a hit Musical, all the details will be on the links quote pages.
Tim is also starring in a new modernised version of Jesus Christ Superstar, where he plays Judas. Which is still touring right now, so if you get a chance, go and see it!

The reason?
I have set up this website after gaining quite a few fans on my facebook group 'Tim Minchin Fangroup- Minchinism' and I'd like to spread the word around, to all fans of Tim Minchin, young and old, just a place to read up on Tim and look at pictures! To any people on facebook, I'd ask you to join my facebook group, and start spreading the Tim love!
