Tim Minchin will be headlining a one-off day of humour at the Sessions.

Tim is known for his comedy songs, as well his distinctive wild hair, heavy eye make-up and tendency to perform in bare feet. His shows deal with subjects such as religion and taboos and feature songs and poems as well as stand-up comedy.

He was born to Australian parents in Northampton but grew up in Perth, Western Australia.

Tim has released six albums and three live DVDs, including recordings of his most recent arena tour, Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra. He has won a number of awards, including the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award for Best Newcomer in 2005 and the Best Music or Variety Act at the 2010 Chortle Awards.

He also wrote the music and lyrics for a stage version of Roald Dahl’s seminal novel Matilda, produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is currently playing to critical acclaim at the Cambridge Theatre in London’s West End.

This unique show is part of the London 2012 Festival, a spectacular 12-week nationwide celebration bringing together leading artists from across the world with the very best from the UK. Tim Minchin’s Eden Session is the first London 2012 Festival event in the South West.
