Tim Minchin, stand-up.

Mime

I don't really know how many of you know his stuff. But he is an amazing stand-up comedian, in my opinion the spiritual successor of George Carlin.
Not only is he funny, but he is extremely smart and also an atheist.
Plus he ROCKS the piano.

Yeah, Tim Minchin is awesome

UK people might recognise him a bit recently since he was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks a couple of weeks ago.

If you like him then you should also like Bill Bailey (although he's a bit more well-known!).

Mime

Yup , big fan of Bailey also.
Seen Robin Williams - weapons of self destruction last night .
Was good , but i didn't think it was as good as his older stuff.

Reminds me of Zach Galifanakis.

Matt: uh, really?
I mean, RrrRRRRrreeally? beyond just the fact he's sitting behind a piano? I know both of them, and I don't see the resemblance.

He looks a lot like this guy;

not really. I think he got the looks from Robert Smith ( The Cure ) mostly.

He's great. Saw him at the Edinburgh Festival a couple of years ago and laughed my arse off. Video clips don't do him justice - he's definitely an act to see live.
