    Have long assumed I'm in a minority of one thinking Tim Minchin is about as funny and insightful as a kick in the nuts. But I'm still right.

        Some is far too earnest, reaching into Ben Elton territory but the more personal tales are brilliant

        Look I'm not Minchin fan but a Ben Elton comparison? That's just nasty.

        No, he's desperately unfunny imho. His talent seems confined to amusing his base, who lap it up. Expats telling us how stupid we are. Great.

        I'd prefer to listen to Minchin than be kicked in nuts. And I'm right.

        Keane, you are rubbish at funny tweets but quite good at angry ones. You are also bad at sport tweeting.

        Tim is an incredibly smart and talented performer. If one is dumb and talentless they generally don't 'get' his humour.

        I agree regarding humour. However at least Minchin is not an extremist like Leak was.
