David Tennant Does A Podcast With... Tim Minchin Is Live Now


The latest episode in the new season of David Tennant Does A Podcast With... is now live. This week David is chatting to Australian comedian, actor, writer, musician, and songwriter Tim Minchin.

Tim is perhaps best known for his musical comedy.  He is a regular on television in Australia, Britain, and the United States. After growing up in Perth, he attended the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), before moving to Melbourne in 2002. 
His show Darkside launched him into the public eye, achieving critical success at the 2005 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 
In 2013, Tim played the role of rock star Atticus Fetch on Showtime's Californication. He has a background in theatre and has appeared in various stage productions, in addition to some small acting roles on Australian television. A documentary film about him, Rock N Roll Nerd (directed by Rhian Skirving), was released theatrically in 2008 and broadcast by ABC1 in 2009. 
He is the composer and lyricist of the Olivier Award-winning, Tony Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated show Matilda the Musical, based on the Roald Dahl book Matilda. His musical Groundhog Day, based on the 1993 film, opened in London in 2016, winning his second Olivier Award, and opened on Broadway in spring 2017. 

 In 2013, the University of Western Australia awarded him an honorary Doctor of Letters degree for his contribution to the arts, recognising his outstanding achievements and worldwide acclaim as a composer, lyricist, actor, writer, and comedian. 
In 2015, he was awarded a second honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. 
Recently he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2020 Australia Day honours.
