Fringe Comedy Cabaret - Tim Minchin; review


Tim Minchin returns to the Adelaide Fringe Festival with So Rock, a comedy cabaret show featuring politics, environmentally friendly tips, psychoanalysis and other funny bits with piano.

It's a laugh out loud hour of song, physical comedy and poetry performed with Tim's usual high energy, enthusiastic delivery.

Tim Minchin's So Rock is at The Umbrella Revolution in The Garden Of Unearthly Delights until March 31.

He may be small in stature, but Tim Minchin's charismatic and energetic presence fills the room with awe and excitement.

Tim's new show So Rock combines hilarious anecdotes, original music, and physical comedy ensuring plenty of laughs throughout.

With only a microphone and grand piano on stage, Tim combined the two in his routine while seamlessly moving from one to the other. Highlights include his heart felt and hilarious Peace Anthem For Palestine which Tim hopes can bring people closer, and the unaccompanied poem Angry had the audience in stitches as Tim displayed his penchant for dark, intelligent and articulate poetry. Tim further enthralled with a touch of Sondheim, a dash of Lloyd Webber and lashings of Freud in his upbeat song If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out.

Tim's sharp and witty lyrics slices throught the mundane depths of reality and pushes it into a dark but insightful realm of hilarity. If laughter is the best medicine then Tim has the ability to deliver in large doses.

He is not small in stature, though. He is roughly six feet tall.
