Tim Minchin is a national treasure. He is a magnificently talented musician and composer. But what makes him stand out is the social critique, wry and self-deprecating humor of the lyrics: each song is a little vignette, sometimes provocative, sometimes dryly introspective. Minchin delivers with a superb and timely comedic sense. His performances are always engaging, energetic and funny.
His blend of comedy and musical performance is quite unique and worth checking.
This performance was recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011, and Minchin was accompanied by the 55 piece Heritage Orchestra. It's a thoroughly enjoyable concert.
