      This does only work with an audience above a certain level of integrity. Unfortunately some people don't realise that they: clap off-beat, standing in the way, being a nuisance to others, .... Luckily I think those people who enjoy Tim Minchin are usually above that level :) Tim in general has a quite high standard when it comes to his lyrics, music, topics and jokes. That's why he's such an amazing artist.

    What's the most impressive thing is that he's not had any formal training on the piano. He had a few lessons when he was a kid but is mostly self taught. He describes himself as a "hack pianist" which basically he admits not really knowing anything formally but just picking it up as he goes along. There's a lot of discussion in the music community whether he's actually any 'good' at piano, but I think he's absolutely incredible.

      Trying a new piece in a small venue actually has relatively low risk. Worst case scenario a few people walk out.

He played sports multiple times a week and his dad is a surgeon. Lol. If you want some context for this performance, watch him perform Rock and Roll Nerd.

    Had the pleasure of meeting Tim Minchin toward the end of last year at an afterparty of an opera I was in. After some heavy cajoling from my colleague who happens to be a relative of his, he got on the piano and we all had a bit of a jam. People would just start singing jazz standards and the like and he would immediately start playing/singing and improvising on the pieces. I started in with some Moondance and he improved and scatted along and it was just fun as hell. Having been a fan of his for over a decade, it was definitely a wonderful moment for me.
