jedusorMan, if you have a chance to see Tim Minchin live, do it. But maybe don't watch all his videos first, because his show is pretty much greatest-hits-of-YouTube. Which is totally fine! He put little twists on all his well-known stuff, and he did play a couple of songs I hadn't heard. And the standup was all new to me. But even if I'd already seen it all, his charisma in person makes his live show immeasurably better than the videos. It probably helped that the audience was so into it--I don't think I've ever seen a more enthusiastic crowd, they gave him three standing ovations.
The venue asked us not to take video, and I mostly didn't? But he started singing "Hallelujah," and after the first chorus with the whole audience singing, I couldn't help recording the rest. But there isn't any actual video, I kept it pointed at the floor so I wouldn't get nabbed by the security dudes. (Speaking of the security dudes, he got two of them to hug each other. It was adorable.)
Mike and I had a blast. Thanks, Mom and Bill! (And now I have the one song he didn't play, "Canvas Bags," stuck in my head because I spent the whole show expecting it.)
