Diumenge vam anar a veure les comedies guanyadores del Festival "Edinburgh shows "2005. Ens varem endur una sorpresa amb en Tim Mitchin, un actor d'allò més polivalent i entre les seves lletres aquesta: "this is my country, its where I spend the vast majority of my time. Its not perfect, but is mine......".
Tim Minchin is such a brilliant virtuoso pianist, it would be a pleasure to simply listen to him play for an hour. Any incidental comedy, you could consider a bonus.But, as it turns out, he's not only an immensely talented musician, he's also a bright, quirky and hugely entertaining comedian, too. It's the sort of all-round package of genius that could drive other comics furious with envy.
On the face of it, what he sets out to do can sound very ordinary; which makes the fact he creates something extraordinary all the more remarkable. How many disappointing student-grade hacks might tackle a comic song about an inflatable sex doll with painfully predictable results? Well, this unedifying topic is the subject of his second song, performed in a cocktail-lounge jazz style, and itís unexpectedly wonderful.
