Filmed in June 2007 in the intimacy of the Sydney Opera House Studio, this is an extraordinary 2-hour solo performance featuring material from “Dark Side” (2005) and “So Rock” (2006) - the shows that rocketed Tim Minchin onto the international stage.

Environmentalism, the Middle East, mental illness, rock n roll, God, sex, death and paradise… once you’ve watched this show, you pretty much don’t need to watch anything else. Awarded sparkly prizes and acclaimed critically on three continents for his irreverant, hilarious and mildy affronting piano-driven pop-comedy-cabaret stylings, Tim Minchin is without doubt one of the 7 best pianist / singer / songwriter / actor / comedian / pervert / wannabe rockstars born in Western Australia in the mid seventies.
