After university, Tim Minchin wrote music for the theater and educational films, and even wrote a musical. After the success of his show "The Dark Side" in 2005, he began to seriously engage in comedy.
At the end of the 2000s, he performed with his first program “Are you ready?”, And in 2010 he went on a tour of Australia and the UK with a symphony orchestra. The name of the tour is "Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra".
A huge part of Tim's comedy programs are musical numbers, playing the piano and songs. Often they are written on domestic and religious subjects, address the theme of the family or ridicule social phenomena.
During his career, he has released seven disc albums with his comedic songs, which were heard on tours, at concerts and performances.
He treats himself and his work critically and with some irony.
