"Take out a second mortgage, sell the car, and put your money on the safest bet you'll ever make in this uncertain world: that Tim Minchin will be the next big thing in musical comedy." (Time Out Magazine, London)

"His lyrics are so sharp, they'd turn Sondheim green with envy. And what's more, he's very, very funny. He's the find of the fest." (Daily Telegraph, London)

"The sort of all-round package of genius that could drive other comics furious with envy... Impeccable stuff." (www.chortle.com)

"Mr Minchin has fine musicality, fine poetry, fine wit, in short, a fine madness. This is quality comedy." (Max Gillies)

"Articulate, thoughtful, dry and unashamedly polysyllabic... Dark, irreverent and talented... Excellent, provoking, funny." (The Age Newspaper)

"Brilliant" (Beat Magazine)
