Tim Minchin

I blogged briefly before about two of Tim Minchin’s YouTube videos which highlighted how interlinked the funny and the dark sides of his stage persona were. In one video he sings Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” somewhat seriously, in the other he sings his own song If You Really Loved Me for laughs, but still somewhat seriously.

I think the first time I saw any of Tim’s songs was when he appeared at the Secret Policeman’s Ball in 2008. He was funny, and different, but after doing a bit of digging it turned out he had some much better or maybe just funnier songs, like this one.

Tim plays in Vicar Street on September 17th, and there are still tickets available.
