JustWatchTim Minchin - Rock 'N' Roll Nerd
At the 2005 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, no-one’s heard of Tim Minchin, a young musician who in a last ditch attempt to get noticed decides to give comedy a go. He needs to start to make an income if his childhood sweetheart, now his wife, is to get her way and start a family. This will be his last try before he’ll have to get a day job.
After a dramatic image change, his self-produced solo show catches the attention of Edinburgh producer Karen Koren, wins him the surprise Director’s Choice award and an offer of a coveted spot at the Edinburgh Arts Festival. He takes it. Our camera goes with him.
Even for the big league players Edinburgh is the most competitive comedy festival in the world.
Tim was a complete unknown. He was deliciously naïve. He was a hit.
