Tim Minchin BACK
From writing the music and lyrics for the smash-hit musical Matilda, to starring in the SKY series Upright, releasing studio albums and charity fund-raising, Tim Minchin is a multi-faceted performer and entertainer with a dedicated fan base.
BACK is his first major tour since 2012 and was filmed live at the Shepherds Bush Empire.
“Concert, comedy show, personal history, political snarl? Well, yes: Tim Minchin’s first British tour for eight years [BACK] is all of those things. …the barefoot, long-haired, 44-year-old Australian always beguiles and sometimes astounds with these two-hours-plus of old songs and new. He’s showman, satirist, pianist and atheist. He’s singer and provocateur, purveyor of a sweary impatience with the tunnel vision of the right that, impressively, swerves into similar takedowns of the self-righteousness of the left… Minchin cuts an intimate figure while also mounting a semi-theatrical spectacular. He’s a one-off. And this is a rare example of a long-awaited return that has been worth the long-await.”
