Tim Minchin's Troubles On The Road | CONAN on TBS 

Which is funny because that's exactly what the song he played was about

@@Zeppelin616 which song did he play? EDIT; I think it was the 3-minute song

(Obvious joke) He wrote wonder wall right?

Congrats on finding Tim! I am jealous that you get to discover him from scratch. He is perhaps one of the most talented and intelligent people on this earth, and a nice guy to top it off. He has some offensive material, but it is deliberately offensive to make some very valid points. He is a virtuosic pianist, comedian (though he identifies as a musician first and foremost), poet, writer, director and loves teaching people how to be better humans - stuff like understanding cognitive biases, avoiding tribalism, avoiding indoctrination and the importance of putting yourself in other peoples shoes. Don't just stick to his musical comedy stuff. His new less comedic stuff is great too and he also has some great thought provoking interviews/podcasts. He wrote the music for Matilda and Groundhog Day musicals. He is a genius - check out this one he wrote for Matilda which incorporates the whole alphabet in the lyrics ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PgcNLTda4Js.html. He also does a lot for charity - he gives the revenue for the 50 best seats at every performance directly to charity. All the revenue for "White Wine in the Sun" goes to Aspect for Autism awareness and the revenue for his Cardinal Pell song goes to victims of child abuse. The likely reason you're only just discovering him is because he identifies how bad fame is for people and their families and actively makes decisions to prevent himself from being too famous. It's part of the reason why he stepped away from comedy where he was playing to arenas and started writing Matilda. Aussie legend.

@@PianoDiary85 Thank you for all that great info. I've been loving this guy so much I already watched 2 documentaries about him and I started watching UPRIGHT, and I'm loving it. He is a musical genius. My absolute favorite song is "Not Perfect" and the 3 minute song he wrote for late night show appearances. with a UK and a US version. YOU are a superfan !! Im in the US. You must be an Aussie?

@@stocksconfidential8862 Upright is a beautiful show with a wonderful message. It's also very "Tim," considering he is also a musician from Perth like his character. In season 2 there is quite a lot of commentary about religion too which he is very outspoken about. I am from Perth as well, so I'm a bit biased 🙂(about 30 mins from Cottesloe Beach which he mentions in the song "Carry You" from that show). I love the imagery in Upright too because it's not often these parts of Australia are reflected on screen. I love "Not Perfect" - my favourite line is "it never says a bad word about me." His non-comedic stuff is great too - songs like I'll Take Lonely Tonight which is a very honest song about temptation in relationships and shows his loyalty to his wife. He is one of the good guys. Some would say otherwise like the dude who wouldn't rent him the piano, but they're ignorant. Here's a couple of fun performances 😊: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V2fQCnXSy4w.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8dTDRa0o9aA.html (Tim Minchin and Ben Folds together is almost too much nerdy piano talent for one stage).

I felt compelled to write that YOU ARE CORRECT SIR

GayJesus bo burnham is great, and a higher level than most comedians, but Tim Minchin is a force of nature. A genius.

came to the commments looking for this... :(

Connor's Comedy that's America for ya!

Americans get my jokes, they just laugh on the inside...

No one

@@UpWithTheBirds23 *Liberal Hollywood

I find him boring

​@@viking_nor you know not who you speak of. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V2fQCnXSy4w.html

@@viking_norare you American?

Exactly what I thought when I saw this video. Damn, didn't even know he has been on Conan!

There is a photograph online of Tim standing next to Lin-Manuel Miranda at an awards ceremony. Talk about an OMG! Two of the most brilliant and creative men on the planet. The room must've been vibrating with wit and energy!

KidOnTheNet Well, the three minute song is also on RU-vid.

You know as well as I do that I was focusing on the hair and eyeliner specifically, but I guess you win a point for cheekiness =|

Omg frankie Boyle is so meme. I like the part when he only talks about celebrities and is basically a walking tmz

If you like men that wear makeup and don’t comb their hair 😂

@@NittyGritty420 Tim's hair and make up rock, though it's also mostly a stage look.

oooh struck a nerve did I... my point stands valid

Lucian Lancaster Not really, unless you mean it stands in your own mind. Didn't strike a nerve, though. Don't give yourself too much credit. You're not the only moron in the world.

says the moron giving a huge rant on a comment, on youtube

Lucian Lancaster Dude, if you think that's a huge "rant" or piece of writing by any stretch of the imagination, please, stay in school. I am from America and I WROTE that, the least you could do is fucking read it without complaining it's too long or difficult for you. How is that supposed to make me feel bad about myself? If anything it just proves my point even further, so thanks for that.

I never said its too long, I was reading it with a bag of popcorn.... your assuming that I did not read it because I'm not intellectually capable.. spamming your own judgement that your accusing me of in the 1st place... I think you have proven my point.... but go on, I would like to read more of how you feel the need to debate your oh so powerful, american superior piece of mind on how I was wrong to be so judgeful and point out how funny and strangely enough... not so wrong stereo type I was poking at... but oh I poked at a stereotype captain america will go keyboard warrior now, and correct this.... misjudgement ;)

Marialla His 3 minute song

I was there, getting to hear the piano story live was amazing...

Corey Eacret Im seriously envious dude. I would of love to have gone and seen that. Cuz you know there's little chance of him getting back to this area anytime soon. Hell I would probably make the drive to Austin or Houston if he happened to be going there.

jeremybr2020 trust me when I say I was quite surprised back when we saw he was actually going to be in Dallas. We had gone down to see him in Austin, and never expected a Dallas date to pop up in the future.

Corey Eacret So now you're telling me you've seen him twice!? As if I wasn't already jealous. Was he with the Orchestra?

jeremybr2020 and no, both times he was by himself. No good photos from the Austin show, bouncers there were friggin strict about it.

Cooler in that in real life he is far more talented and intelligent than Atticus, and is the complete opposite with his principles (loyal to his wife, doesn't do drugs etc).

It was 3 minute song

@@AndreCrema97 That explains why he said it was tense.

Slaters, gonna slate!

ChangeTheGame ... wow, yeah, I see that, but never would have noticed that myself. Good eye!

Loved that line.

He calls it "rock star nerd." He also doesn't wear shoes on stage when he is in that mode. He actually looks quite handsome when his hair is brushed straight and he is in "normal" clothes. At one point during his award-winning Australian TV mini-series, "Upright," he put his hair in a "man bun," which looked flat-out awesome on him. You would never guess it, but he went to an expensive all-boys prep school in Perth for 11 years. His father and stepfather are physicians. He holds the equivalent of a master's degree from an Australian university. He is a gifted songwriter, lyricist, actor, comedian, and writer. He is really quite brilliant.

Seems like an excuse to dress like a rocker (horribly). He looks like the worst fusion of Carrot Top and Keith Urban

lol

not even remotely similar. now, if you had said bill bailey's little brother...

When it comes to principles, pretty much the exact opposite of Russel Brand.

Tim does this look ironically to mock rock cliches.

Love without evidence is stalking

3 minute song

Honesty and care for your craft is universal. Good observation.

Andrew S. I know it's not what you meant, but the image you've given me of an interview with Marilyn Manson with an Australian accent is simply phenomenal.

Lindsay Lohan wishes.
