Tim Minchin

TIM MINCHIN, award-winning comedian, actor and composer, will return to the stage for his first UK tour dates since 2011.

BACK
is billed as Old Songs, New Songs, F*** You Songs, hinting at a set
list of material from all corners of Minchin’s eclectic – and often
iconoclastic – repertoire. It will be the long-awaited follow up to his
sold-out national arena tour of Tim Minchin and his Orchestra in
2010-2011.

The music virtuoso also announced that profit from a
number of top price seats will be donated to a UK charity – details of
which will be announced through his website soon.

Minchin has been celebrated globally for writing the music and lyrics for
Matilda the Musical, which has gone on to become one of the most
acclaimed musicals of the last 20 years, winning a record seven Olivier
Awards, 13 Helpmann Awards and five Tony Awards. It continues to run in
the West End and has already played in over 50 cities worldwide. He also
wrote music and lyrics for the musical adaption of Groundhog Day, which
after an acclaimed limited run at The Old Vic in London in 2016,
debuted on Broadway in April 2017 and won the Olivier Award for Best
Musical in
2017.

He most recently starred in the ABC 2018
comedy series Squinters and will appear as Friar Tuck in the upcoming
Hollywood release Robin Hood in cinemas November 2018. In 2019 he will
also star in UPRIGHT, a new eight-part drama series, which he will
co-write with The Chaser’s Chris Taylor, actor-writers Leon Ford and
Kate Mulvaney, and coproduce with Lingo Pictures for Foxtel and Sky UK.
