Product Description

Filmed live at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo, London, this massive show contains Minchin's unique take on musical comedy, spanning topics such as his love of boobs and banging on about rationalism whilst playing the piano rather nicely in a pair of uncomfortably tight jeans.

Special Features:
Includes song booklet, with complete lyrics from the show

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, although not entirely new show... 25 Nov 2010
Format:DVD
Tim Minchin is a very talented musical comedian with lovely ginger hair and a nice smile. He hails from Australia, and is incredibly adept at blending music and comedy together. I like him quite a bit.

First of all, the bad. There is a little repetition in this DVD. A few of the songs ("Canvas Bags" and "Dark Side") appeared on his last DVD, and you've probably heard a few others, too ("If I Didn't Have You", "Not Perfect" and "Prejudice" weren't new to me). I would also go as far to say that some aren't Minchin's best work ("Confessions", "Bears Don't Dig on Dancing"). However, unlike most musical comedians, Tim Minchin will often place more emphasis on the music than the comedy. And it's okay for musicians to play their greatest hits, right?

Next up, the good. "Ready For This" has some *excellent* new material. You might not think you'd enjoy a 9-minute beat poem, but you *will* be surprised how fantastic they can be. "The Youtube Lament", "The Song For Phil Daost", and "The Good Book" are all superb little numbers too, but the absolute highlight is the closing number, "White Wine in the Sun". About the only song on the album that isn't strictly comedic just happens to be a charming Christmas epic, which deserves a lot more attention.

In conclusion: A solid DVD. Some retreading of old material, but definitely enough new material to make this a worthwhile watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars So fantastic 13 Jan 2011
By Manda:)
Format:DVD
Tim Minchin is an absolute genius.
Not only does he use intelligent insights for his humour, (not the crude comedy that many commedians favour)but the use of song in his performing makes him standout as uniquely talented.
I love all the songs he includes, and although a small few are repeated from his previous DVD there is a clear improvement on his confidance, making the versions of the songs different and varried even thought they are the same.
I Love this DVD and have forced all my friends to watch it numerous time.
You honestly wont regret buying this DVD.
:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Funny, Brilliant 12 Jan 2011
By VicSaid
Format:DVD
I gave it as Christmas present and it was a huge success. Observant, cynical but good natured and laugh out loud funny poetry told by a very talented piano player/singer. Tim Minchin is the 'Rock Star' of comedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just awesome 3 Feb 2010
By M. Wake
Format:DVD
Tim Minchin is without doubt the funniest thing I discovered in the last year. His intelligent yet scathing stand up routine would be enough, but then on top of that he also happens to be a superb singer, lyricist and pianist. Vocally I could listen to him all day and while it may not be for everybody I can appreciate his steady scientific view of religion, babies, medicine and hippies.

Some of it's outrageous but it's tempered by Tim's infectious stage persona which is at times almost apologetic yet impish. I fully recommend anybody who's ever laughed to check this man out and this is a good a place as any to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mad for Minchin?? 19 Jan 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very happy with this. In my opinion, not as good overall as a show as the first DVD, but well worth buying as it's still a very good DVD. Includes the brilliant beat-poem Storm and many more. You get your moneys-worth with a decent-length show and can watch it over and over again as it's not just a comedy show, also a brilliant music show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tim Minchin Raises The Bar 10 Jan 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This live DVD had the whole family in total agreement - he is awesome. So funny that it was almost painful, with lots of strange observations, he is also a first class musician, as anyone who saw him hold his own with Jamie Cullum on Jonathan Ross would agree. Looking forward to seeing him live.

Amazing show. Anyone who knows Tim Minchin knows what a genius he is, and this concert demonstrates his talent beautifully. If you like irreverent, intelligent humor, coupled with mad piano playing, you will love this. Buy it. Now. Right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mighty Minchin. 31 Dec 2010
By Salix
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
There is little point in sitting down to enjoy this if you are upset by colourful language but if you looking for an inventive, thought provoking and deeply intelligent young man then look no further, you have found him. He makes you laugh and he makes you think. Musically he is stunning and I defy anyone not to shed a small tear at "White Wine in the Sun" especially at this time of year.
