Tim Minchin: So Live

Tim Minchin is one of the most talented and brilliant singer/song writers of our time. This show hands down is his best and I have watched it countless times. I actually enjoy it a lot more than listening to his albums because he is so creative in his shows when it is just him and a piano or a guitar. If you have not seen this show, you must! The show itself is almost 2 hours long but it seems as though it is only about 30mins long because it is so entertaining. Although some of his idea are rather radical, he is very smart and it is shown in everyone of his songs. After seeing this film I have made a promise to myself that I would see him live once he comes to America.

After watching the Tim Minchin biography Rock 'N Roll Nerd (2008) I had some doubts whether I would like his shows or not. A stand up comedy filled with piano music didn't seem very attractive to me as piano music isn't really my kind of thing but in all fairness I had it wrong. Tim Minchin has a unique way to bring his quirky comedy. A show full of songs with funny speedy lyrics, to bring his view on all kind of subjects. Tim Minchin is a waterfall of words when he performs, lyrics that are funny and that make you think out of the ordinary. Still not 100% convinced about the piano though, but that's just my musical taste.
