Hang out with the extraordinary Tim Minchin, his piano, his songs, and his thoughts.

The one-of-a-kind musician, actor, writer and comedian returns for a relaxed, intimate offering – a special concert designed to give fans rare insight into the craft of songwriting and Minchin’s own brilliant musical mind.

Minchin last wowed Aotearoa with sold-out shows in 2021. This informal, chatty evening of music and musing features Minchin performing tracks from his 2020 album Apart Together; musical numbers from the Tony-winning, Grammy-nominated Matilda and Olivier-winning, Olivier-nominated and Tony-nominated Groundhog Day; songs from his TV and film writing projects; and even a few hidden gems from his early days as a songwriter.

Following sold-out Australian and UK tour dates, don’t miss this rare chance to experience the genius of Tim Minchin live.

*The promoter can’t guarantee the artist won’t inadvertently amuse.
