Tim - unplugged 🌟
by Natski7 on 7/10/24State Theatre - SydneyRating: 5 out of 5I’ve enjoyed Tim Minchin’s talents for many years, singing, acting, making us laugh, speaking, producing and tonight ‘s book interview was simply another medium to be entertained by this Australian treasure. Of all the ways he expresses himself, I’ve decided my favourite is just listening to him speak. Tim’s words alway come from a deep place - he’s obviously a deep thinker - deliberate and thoughtful yet at the same time deliciously irreverent and funny.
Tim renews my love of language and always leaves me resonating on different aspects of humanity and how we interact, engage and deal with the nuances of life.
I enjoy his perspectives, sometimes disagree with them but that’s ok and Tim’s also ok with that. He teaches us to be passionate, focus on what’s in front of us and give it a red hot go, while at the same time being kind to ourselves and not to take life l, or ourselves, too seriously.
The format of the evening was great, the interviewer did a great job, as did the Auslan interpreters (watching them sign some of Tim’s colourful anecdotes was a hoot!).
The Q&A session in the second half was a lot of fun, clearly an intelligent audience with a wonderful variety of clever questions that Tim managed beautifully.
Overall, a very enjoyable evening and of course, I snaffled a copy of his personally autographed book and am enjoying reading it already. 🩷
