Tim Minchin Announces 2023/24 Australian Tour – An Unfunny Evening with Tim Minchin and his Piano

By Music Feeds

Tim Minchin plans to keep the jokes to a minimum on his upcoming live tour: An Unfunny Evening with Tim Minchin and his Piano. Minchin will take the stage solo for a run of intimate and informal performances in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Canberra, Geelong, Adelaide, Newcastle and Perth, spanning October 2023 till February 2024.

UPDATE: Extra shows added in all cities due to the majority of shows selling out. Updated itinerary below.

Tim Minchin and Tee Ken Ng – ‘Leaving LA’

Minchin released his debut studio album, Apart Together , in 2020. The album included the singles ‘Leaving LA’ and ‘I’ll Take Lonely Tonight’, both of which were premiered during Minchin’s semi-comeback tour, BACK: Old Songs, New Songs, Fuck You Songs, in 2019/20. The forthcoming tour setlists will include songs from Apart Together as well as selections from the musicals Matilda  and  Groundhog Day , Minchin’s TV and film writing, and his early days as a performer.

Minchin will perform several shows in each of the aforementioned tour destinations. He’ll no doubt get stuck into plenty of between-song banter and has signalled his intention to rely on a loose show format, meaning the setlists are liable to change from night to night.

Tim Minchin Announces 'An Unfunny Evening' With His Piano Australian Tour

“The set list will be fluid, the chat unplanned, and the vibe informal. He plans to wear shoes.”

Tim Minchin (Credit: Damian Bennett)

Are you ready for an Unfunny* Evening with Tim Minchin ?

Going on a months-long tour from 20 October, you can see the multi-talented, award-winning artist in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Canberra, Geelong, Adelaide, Newcastle and Perth right up until February 2024.

Minchin, an Olivier, Helpmann, AACTA, Logie Award-winning, Grammy and Tony-nominated poly-talent, will perform solo dates in theatres across the country in promotion of his 2020 album, Apart Together , his musicals Matilda  and  Groundhog Day, celebrate his film and TV writing, and go all the way back in time to his earliest days as a songwriter.

A press release teases that “The set list will be fluid, the chat unplanned, and the vibe informal. He plans to wear shoes.” Do you know what you’re getting in for yet ?

The press release adds, “This is a rare chance for fans of Minchin and the craft of songwriting. 

“*The promoter can't guarantee the artist won't inadvertently amuse.”

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

While Minchin’s last Australian tour, BACK , took place after ten years, fans have been waiting since 2019 to see the Cardinal Pell artist perform in all states, not just one-off shows, again.

My Live Nation members can access pre-sale tickets from Wednesday, 2 August, at 10 am until Friday, 4 August. General tickets will be sold via the Live Nation website on Friday, 4 August, at noon local time.

“It’s what makes Minchin so hard to pigeonhole that also makes him such a captivating performer; he can break your heart with only a few words and then piece it back together with a jolting tempo or melody change that shocks the system,” The Music ’s Dan Cribb wrote upon Minchin’s gig with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra at Perth Festival in February 2021.

Cribb added, “His seeming inability to sit still is also infectious (not ideal when trying to maintain social distancing), and his affable stage banter really does make his live show feel like an intimate experience.”

TIM MINCHIN: BACK

Tim’s critically acclaimed, record breaking, sell-out show BACK will be available digitally in New Zealand on the 3rd February.

So if you missed the tour or you fancy reliving the spectacle you can watch it at home.

Filmed live at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, with Tim’s 8-piece band, BACK is a comedic and musical extravaganza.

Tim : “The “Back” tour spanned 3 years, was seen by 261,000 people, survived 1 pandemic, and almost killed me. I’m completely stoked that people will now be able to spend 2 hours with my massive f*****g head rendered more massive by massive f*****g cinema screens”.

UPRIGHT Season Two

By shell 14th nov | 14 comments.

  Lucky (Tim) and Meg (Milly Alcock) will hit the open road – and river – once again when the misfit duo are unexpectedly reunited four years after their epic adventure crossing the Nullarbor Plain with a cherished piano. This time they trade the desert for the steamy tropics of Far North Queensland on a mission to find Meg’s mum.

Tim : “We worked so hard on this second season, having to overcome many hurdles on the way. The making of art imitating art, I guess. Things are different in Meg and Lucky’s world, and shit gets even weirder than in season 1, but hopefully it will connect with people in the same way. Ep 8 is another tear-jerker, if jerking tears is your thing. (It is mine!)”

UPRIGHT Season Two has a double episode premiere in Australia on Tuesday November 15th at 8.30pm AEDT on FOX Showcase on FOXTEL. All 8 episodes will be available to watch On Demand on FOXTEL and on BINGE. Season One is currently available to watch in Australia On Demand on FOXTEL and on BINGE .

The UK premiere of UPRIGHT Season Two will be at 9pm on Tuesday November 22nd on Sky Comedy with the first 2 episodes played back to back. All 8 episodes will be available On Demand on NowTV. Season One is currently available to watch on NowTV in the UK.

UPRIGHT air dates and streaming platforms for the US and ROW will be added as they are confirmed and announced.

Season Two is directed by Mirrah Foulkes . Tim : “We were so lucky to have the brilliant Mirrah Foulkes steering the metaphorical tinny up the allegorical creek.”

Tim, the Executive Producer, Lead Writer, and star of UPRIGHT has again written some music for the series, alongside another beautiful score by Jackson Milas and Antony Partos. Tim wrote The Aeroplane which was released earlier this month and Spider Girl which he’s been playing at Australian festivals this year for the series.

Vychováván byl však v Austrálii, kde navštěvoval místní soukromou školu. Zde se poprvé seznámil s hraním na klavír. Po třech letech se však tohoto snažení vzdal , protože nebyl zvyklý na disciplínu, která byla s hráním spojována. Láska ke klavíru přišla, až se svobodou hraní vlastních… ( více )

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

When Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine in February 2022, he included a complaint about America’s self-regard. “Where does this insolent manner of speaking from the position of your own exceptionalism, infallibility and all-permissiveness come from?” the Russian president asked.

There was nothing new in Putin’s protestation. Throughout the cold war, the Soviets craved recognition from the Americans and were hypersensitive to perceived slights. Putin infamously described the dissolution of the USSR as the “greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century”. By this he meant the end of the Russian imperium, not Soviet communism. If America could not freely give the respect that Russia so yearned for, it would have to be won by force of arms.

As Sergey Radchenko shows in To Run The World , his masterful new history of the cold war, Putin’s psychology is very much in keeping with that of his Soviet predecessors. This psychology includes injured pride and an unquenchable sense of insecurity.

Ironically it was Putin’s decision to open up the Soviet archives over the past decade — an act of radical transparency that reflected Putin’s obsession with Russian history — that enabled Radchenko to reach these conclusions. His move made available a “full-blown deluge” of Soviet documents and personal papers after years in which historians had to make do with a trickle. This gave him access to a stream of consciousness of the USSR’s most senior officials spanning the period from Joseph Stalin to Mikhail Gorbachev.

The years following the Cuba missile crisis were as close as Moscow has come to achieving the respect it believes is its due

The result is a revisionist history of the cold war that downplays ideology as Moscow’s guiding motive. This marks quite a departure from most cold war histories, which pay more attention to that than national character. “Marxist-Leninism itself does not get us very far in understanding Soviet behavior,” Radchenko writes. “It was an ill-fitting cloth that never adequately draped the incongruent outlines of Moscow’s ambitions.”

What were — and are — those ambitions? The simplest answer would be to secure western recognition for Russia’s great power status. In 1944, Stalin got Winston Churchill’s acquiescence to Moscow’s sphere of influence when they scribbled country-by-country percentages for central and eastern Europe on a napkin. Hungary and Yugoslavia were each divided 50:50, while Greece was skewed 90:10 to Britain, and Romania 90:10 to the Soviets.

Their cynical bargain was formalised in the notorious Yalta Conference of 1945. The near-fatal decision by Nikita Khrushchev, Stalin’s successor, to station Soviet intermediate nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962 was prompted less by war-making plans than by a desire for parity with the US, which stationed missiles at several bases close to the border of the USSR. John F Kennedy defused the crisis by quietly removing US missiles from Turkey. In addition to equal status, Moscow had wanted to throw “our hedgehog in the Americans’ pants”, in the words of one Soviet official.

In spite of the Vietnam war, the 15 years following that near-miss in Cuba were the heyday of east-west détente. This was as close in history as Moscow has come to achieving the respect that it believes is its due. Humanity had entered a bipolar world in which the USSR was one of the poles. Yet this period was all too fleeting.

Khrushchev, whose antics had become an embarrassment, was removed in a Politburo coup in 1964. After a bout of Kremlin machinations, chiefly involving the sidelining of his Politburo rival Aleksei Kosygin, Leonid Brezhnev emerged as the first among equals. Détente survived the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 mainly because Washington wanted Moscow to help extricate it from its quagmire in Vietnam. The Soviets never did. Détente also survived Richard Nixon’s 1972 opening to China, which played heavily on Brezhnev’s paranoia about the threat from the east. Indeed, Nixon’s China move only redoubled Brezhnev’s efforts to pacify the USSR’s western flank by cementing détente.

Fascinatingly, Radchenko reveals that Brezhnev even had a racial motivation for the policy, believing that the European races should stick together. “As President Nixon once said,” Brezhnev recounted, “you can destroy us seven times over, and we can destroy you seven times over. I told him in response that after this happens, the whites will be gone, only the blacks and the yellows will remain.”

Yet détente’s golden age never quite lived up to Moscow’s dreams. Though Henry Kissinger, Nixon’s acrobatic national security adviser, mused about a joint US-Soviet “condominium”, and the superpowers pledged non-interference in each other’s domestic affairs, the USSR could not bring itself to abandon its revolutionary credentials. Soviet adventurism in Angola, the Horn of Africa, Portugal and ultimately in Afghanistan, which it invaded in December 1979, tipped US public opinion against détente.

Radchenko skilfully and vividly depicts a gerontocratic Politburo that wanted nuclear stability without relinquishing their freedom to pick up client states in what was then often called the “third world” (the Soviet bloc being the “second world”). Here again, this was as much a question of Russian self-esteem as Marxist-Leninist ideology. Since the US had client states all over the world, the Soviets should too. But these proved to be highly expensive. As Radchenko points out, Moscow’s backing of Vietnam’s communists almost broke the bank. Hanoi never repaid its debts.

If I have one quibble with Radchenko’s otherwise indispensable book, it is that he underplays the effects of US President Jimmy Carter’s weaponisation of human rights behind the Iron Curtain. (In full disclosure, I am writing a biography of Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s national security adviser, and Kissinger’s great rival.) Kissinger saw the USSR as a permanent fixture on the landscape. Brzezinski saw the USSR’s nationalities and the Warsaw Pact satellite states as its Achilles heel. The latter turned out to be correct.

As Radchenko lays out, the USSR’s demise in 1991 came with a whimper, not a bang, in the guise of its final leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, who became the last general secretary of the Soviet Communist party in 1985.

As an émigré Russian scholar — teaching at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington and at Cardiff University — Radchenko is well placed to describe what has happened since the USSR’s dissolution in 1991. He vividly depicts the “clean-shaven gorillas in Adidas pants” who made their fortunes in the Moscow wild west of the 1990s.

This was also the era of Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin. As one of Radchenko’s colleagues, Mary Elise Sarotte , memorably observed, Yeltsin’s fondness for vodka was deemed a price worth paying: “Yeltsin drunk was better for the United States than most other Russian leaders sober”. But then came Putin. The rest is current affairs.

Radchenko’s conclusion is bleak because it is persuasive. Under Putin, he argues, Russia believes it has another chance via the rubric of multipolarity to destroy the world that the US has made: “With the right combination of chutzpah and good luck, Russia could one day recover its illusive greatness and its insatiable, self-destructive ambition to run the world”. Putin is gambling his country’s future — and other people’s security — on a quest that can never be sated.

Tim’s playing some Solo Gigs around the UK (and Ireland) this summer!

By shell 1st jun | 34 comments.

Tim’s four London Solo Gigs sold out super quickly so he’s decided to dart around the country and pop over to Ireland in June and July to perform some more shows further afield! Some will go on sale June 1st and the rest on June 8th. It’s a 90 minute show with no interval.

An Unfunny * Evening With Tim Minchin And His Piano

Warning: This is not a comedy gig. Attendance is not compulsory.

The Olivier Award-winning, Grammy and Tony Award nominated polytalent plays a handful of intimate, informal, solo dates in the UK this summer.

Tim will perform songs drawn from his 2020 studio album, Apart Together, from his musicals, Matilda and Groundhog Day, from his TV and film writing, and perhaps even some from his early songwriting days in the late 20th century.

The set list will be fluid, the chat unplanned, and the vibe informal. He may well get the audience to vote on some of the song choices.

This a rare chance for Minchin fans!

* the promoter can’t guarantee the artist will not inadvertently amuse.
