Timmy The Dog’s "Sit" is out of stock. I don’t know if I’ll ever sell it again... I just put it here to be annoying. Sorry. If you go to this Angry (Feet) Forum, you might be able to find someone who’ll burn it for you!
Currently my admiration for The Bedroom Philosopher, (aka Justin Heazlewood) is at an all-time high. He's thrown off the chains of the comedy pigeonhole, and is floating in a genre-free wonderland.

CONTACTING ME: I love getting comments and messages through this page and I do generally read them all. If you ask a question I'll do my best to get back to you, but if I don't I'm really sorry! Please forgive me. I can't handle guilt. If you have an important, work-related query, please go here to contact my management. They're very nice.

"Rock n Roll Nerd", filmed for the ABC's Sideshow in 2007:A trailer for my DVD, "So Live" which is on sale in Australia. If you're not in Australia, you can order it online - it works in all regions. (But not on NTSC-only players in the US, sorry!) Palestine Peace Anthem and a live version of Canvas Bags from the Paramount Comedy Show, "The World Stands Up":
"Not Perfect", filmed for the ABC's "Sideshow":A video clip of Canvas Bags made for the BBC's "Comedy Shuffle":By the by, my website has other downloads and stuff on it and is a tepid fountain fizzing with intriguing information.
Your talent is a bit too phanominal. Have you made a pact with a fallen angel, demi-god or other powerful entity? If so could you point me in their direction?

Sorry I couldn't get to see you in Brighton last week - I was on holiday in Madeira and busy trying not to push my sister-in-law off a mountain. It took effort but I managed to restrain myself. Next time you're in Brighton nothing will keep me away from your show.
Tim, my computer has been dead since sunday. I must say, I am looking forward to your documentary. And I don't care what you look like, or how old you are. You rock, and I daresay you always will.
I had a great birthday weekend that was full of cheesy musicals, great music in the sun, and shopping. Wonderful.
I think I am yet to mature, though, as the giant pen my housemates got me is a great source of amusement. Now I just need to find a good time to use it.
Hope you're well and (still! wow!) enjoying the great weather!x
There's no Cardiff date on your upcoming tour, is there going to be? I thought we had something special that night, don't tell us is was all a lie! You said we were one of the best, we went home happy, but if that's just something you say to all the audiences...
me and my friend jamie were singing your songs at school today it was very awesome! and then my other friend said "who's that?" and we said"it's tim minchin...only the awesomest dude ever" and she said "was taht that so godame rock or whatever and we said "actually it's so fucking rock" =] you rock and you come online to...yay! reply if you get time in your extremely busy schedule xx
Hey Tim, I'm a listening to 'God' at the moment. So anyway, how are you?? I've heard you're bring out a new dvd which is going to be awesome. Though I was thinking, since the music director at my school isn't very good that if you weren't busy being awesome, you could run my music dept. We'd be the coolest kids out. Though my notions is a rather foolish and rather outlandish. Ok well that's it for the moment. Hope everything is well in the mother land. Ciao xo
