Angry (Feet)

the official Tim Minchin fan site

New Site, New Look, New Start!

As you might have noticed, the site has been down for a few days. If you're reading this, hopefully the reason will be apparent - we've been updating the site!

In addition to the swanky new design, we've rearranged the forums slightly to make them easier to navigate, revamped the forum rules and guidelines and changed address to angryfeet.com!

We've lost several pages that we used to have before because the forum's always been the hub of the site, so we decided to make that the main feature - most of the content that was on those pages, can now be found on the forum instead.

So come, make yourself at home, relax, put your feet up and enjoy the exclusive new download, "Shag With The Stereo On", taken from Tim's BBC Radio 2 pilot, Strings.

An Exclusive DVD Announcement!

Image So, the question on everyone's lips is, "Will Tim be releasing a DVD of his Orchestra show?" Well, I guess now's the time to reveal the answer, with a resounding YES!

The DVD is being recorded at the two Royal Albert Hall gigs later this month (if you've still not got a ticket, there are some left for the 29th???) and will be available in the UK later this year. If the details in the lovely, shiny pre-order list below are to be believed, it'll be released on the 14th November, though that may be subject to change.

If you're in Australia, you'll be getting the same DVD (for a change!) at around the same time, though we've no links for you to pre-order it yet, unfortunately.

A Brief List of Upcoming UK TV and Radio Appearances

People of the UK, we hope you've missed hearing Tim's dulcet tones over the radio, or seeing his big face on your televisual box, as there are some forthcoming events of that variety this very weekend!

On Saturday, Tim will be on Christian O'Connell's Jon Holmes's Radio 5Live show sometime between 9am and 11am, shortly followed by an appearance on Vernon Kay's Radio One show.

The next day, Tim will be on Something for the Weekend on BBC2, 10am - 11:30am, cooking up a treat alongside Arlene Phillips! If you've got anything you'd like to ask him, the show are appealing for questions via email or Twitter

There are also rumblings of a live session on Absolute Radio, which will be recorded on the 14th (air date to be confirmed), to which you can win tickets, and also Ruth Jones's Easter Treat. If you hear of anything we've not got a thread for, in our Tim and the Media section, feel free to start one for us!

America, Fuck Yeah (Seattle specifically)!

And today's headline is an example of why you don't write things on only a few hours sleep (we're so professional here).

Just a heads up to people in and around the Seattle area that Tim will be doing a show at The Neptune Theatre on 24th June 2011.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, or there's a presale, which starts tomorrow, with the password 'band'.

Tim is a Comedy King!

Have you ever wanted to see a younger Tim? If you're in the UK, you can see such a thing on Freeview channel 5* tomorrow night!

Tim Minchin vs SSO - Live on ABC2!

Aussies, did Tim's orchestra show sell out too quickly for you to be able to grab tickets for yourself?

Good news! on 27th March, ABC2 will be broadcasting Tim's show live from The Sydney Opera House!

There's a nice little trailer for the show here but do be warned, it contains a couple of spoilers!

Booked Up - Tim donates Matilda for an online book auction!

Tim has donated a signed copy of Matilda to raise money for Kyilla Primary School in Perth, Australia to promote literacy in their school.

Many celebrities were asked to donate book which has had a profound impact on their life so it's no surprise that Tim chose Matilda after the past year or so!

The inscription reads:
"This is a book about a kid who loves books. Matilda taught me that with imagination and knowledge (and a little bit of mischief!) we can put things right. Even if we are little."

Tim's book, and others, can be bid on here, though it's worth pointing out that Tim's is already at $210AUD already and there are still 13 days left!

The Perfect Host.

Tim will be hosting the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Opening Night Comedy All Stars Supershow on 30th March 2011!

Also, for some strange reason, there are still tickets left! You may buy them from [here].

It will also be shown on Ten at some point, if you can't make it down, so fret not! We'll announce that as and when we have the air date.
