https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTz42pmqP6c It was this series for TV 'Upright' that I realised Tim Minchin was more than I first thought. I love his authenticity as an entertainer, communicator and human in the world. I like that about you too Nick. I'm so glad you enjoyed the show and that you met Alison there. Thanks for sharing that pic. I try to live up to my value of not personalising attacks on politicians and others whose beliefs I don't share; but I try my best to critique the beliefs. Jacinda was right about kindness; its our only way through.
I failed to buy tickets in time and now I've read your column, I feel like I was there, thank you! I saw him live last time and didn't want the evening to be over - such a talented person. And every year I listen to White Wine in the Sun on Christmas morning and usually have a good old cry - so poignant. and resonates with everybody. Thank you for your writing Nick, it's such a pleasure - and respite - to read.
I write publicly, sometimes for a shekel or two to help pay the lecky bill. Like you Nick I get feedback. Most is fine but sometimes I wonder. Its not that someone cannot read, its that they just cannot understand what's written and go off on tangents that leave me bewildered. Mind you, many times their spelling is an adventure on its own.
Like you I'm tempted to reply with barbs. I have at times. I've even tried to explain what I meant, usually to no avail.
Then I just think not all of us are literate, can comprehend easily, can spell. I just let it go.
I felt like was there with you Nick, so glad you had a great night out. I recently watched I'm in the series Upright. I didn't know he was an actor as well.
Thanks Nick. That was a beautiful review, with a gentle but challenging reflection. Apart Together was a gift - I’d love to have heard Tim tell about his father’s reaction. If it was anything like mine there were tears involved. The whole thing has lifted my spirit - thankyou again.
Thanks Nick - such a beautiful description of the evening. It was great to meet you and Fi too. Although... first subscriber, first paid subscriber - I sound like a bit of a try-hard! Lol.
So pleased to hear of your 'review' ... Tim is f'ing amazing IMO and was gutted not to be able to get down to Ak to watch him. Apart together is my fav. 👍🏼

Thanks for the insightful review Nick. So pleased you enjoyed Tim and imagine it would be very difficult not to enjoy his humour and this talent.
