Tim minchin who is he

It was stupid. That was just grief! His return to Australia was always going to happen, regardless of how these projects panned out. But in doing so he goes from medium-sized fish in an enormous pond to large fish in a smaller one. He admits it will be a challenge. But it was from that city — the heart of the entertainment industry — that he watched the MeToo movement unfold.

So far, the people who are falling seem to be bad. He sings about it in an unreleased song titled The Absence of You. I wanted to not become an alcoholic, I wanted to not cheat on my partner, and I wanted to not become an unbearable tool with a huge-tiny ego. My ambition is immodest and obtuse: I want to be unpigeonholeable.

I grew up in Perth, Australia. It was so unclear to me that I never really thought about it. Everything my friends and I did was for its own sake. Not just the artistic freedom to make whatever the hell we wanted to make, but freedom from thinking of our plays and gigs as a step on a ladder, or even a viable way to make a living.

But I was never comfortable with the label comedian. Then this six-year-old superhero came along and, hands on hips, she kicked down the doors for me. A song about an inflatable sex doll got me into comedy, and Matilda the Musical helped me escape it. What I learned in the two years I spent helping make that musical made me believe I could do more.

And its success allowed me the space to take the risks required to do so. Of course, with risk comes pain. Our musical, Groundhog Day, despite awards and five-star reviews, took a bit of a battering on Broadway I promise it will be back! I spent four years in Hollywood working on an animated film that was shut down when the studio was sold. But I have sung Judas at Wembley Arena. I have performed on the Sydney Opera House steps with a band made up of my siblings and cousins.
