| Description: | In London, they reckon he’s the “Next big thing in musical comedy” (The Times) and say “If you haven’t caught this comic genius before, sell your grandmother to get a ticket.” (Time Out). In Melbourne, he’s “Witty, smart and unabashedly offensive” (The Age), in Las Vegas, “The room exploded in a massive standing ovation” (Los Angeles Times). In Scotland, he’s known as “An extraordinary performer” (The Scotsman). And in Norway, they say “Tim Minchin er noe av det morsomste jeg har sett noen gang” (Stavanger). After storming another Edinburgh Fringe, packing out a 40 date UK tour and selling out every show on his Australia tour at beginning of the year, Tim Minchin comes Canberra for the first time with his critically acclaimed solo show, “Ready For This?” ‘Ready for This?’ contains new songs, new rants, a 9-minute beat poem about a hippy, and just enough of his acclaimed ‘Darkside’ and ‘So Rock’ stuff to keep the old fans from rioting. ”The entire show is of such a fantastically high standard that it’s difficult to pick out highlights” - The Herald, Scotland Winner: Perrier Award for Best Newcomer, Edinburgh 2005, Festival Director’s Award, Melbourne 2005, Best Alternative Comedian, US Comedy Arts Festival 2007 Winner: Helpmann Award 2009, Best Comedy Performer, Perrier Award for Best Newcomer, Edinburgh 2005, Festival Director’s Award, Melbourne 2005, Best Alternative Comedian, US Comedy Arts Festival 2007 |
