Pick of the Day: Upright U.S. Premiere with Live Chat with Tim Minchin & Milly Alcock, Plus Q&A with Judd Apatow

If you ever take a look at Tim Minchin‘s career, the depth and breadth of how the Aussie musical comedian has flourished is astounding. Whether it be his intensely satirical and biting songs to his work on such musicals as Matilda to acting, Minchin seemingly does it all (and it’s all worth watching/listening to).

His latest work comes in the form of a TV series that he’s starring in with Milly Alcock called Upright. It follows Minchin and Alcock as an unlikely pair trying to drive a piano across the deserts of Australia. It’s a role that’s perfect for Minchin. Here’s a bit of a teaser.

Upright is having its North American premiere (before it airs on Sundance Now) via the ATX TV Festival. The first two episodes will be premiering on the ATX TV Festival’s YouTube Channel on Tues. July 21st at 5PM PT/8PM ET/7PM CT. Minchin and Milly Alcock will be chatting on social media as those two episodes arrive.

Along with that, Judd Apatow will be in conversation with Minchin afterwards and that full Q&A will be available for everyone later this week, Wed. July 22nd at 8AM PT/11AM ET/10AM CT.

It’s going to be even more “supremer”? 

Tenacious D is having their 3rd Festival Supreme on Oct. 10th back at the Shine Expo Hall & Fairgrounds near USC.

Just from the looks of the line-up, Jack and Kyle are making for one hell of a day of music and comedy.

So far, they’ve got for comedy:
Kids In the Hall
Amy Poehler
Tim Minchin
Jenny Slate
Aubrey Plaza
Good Neighbor
The original cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000
Nick Thune
Super Dave Osborne (Bob Einstein)

Charlyne Yi
Adam Devine

and for music:

The Darkness
Puddles Pity Party

Whether they’ll have some sort of haunted house and other fun surprises has yet to be announced, but we’re sure with several months out before the big day, Jack and Kyle will have something else big up their sleeve besides this stacked line-up.

If you want to get in on the action, make sure to get your tickets on Jun. 11th here.

“Groundhog Day” Musical From Tim Minchin Set For Broadway in 2017

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

If Tim Minchin didn’t see his shadow, would that make this have previews start in 2016?

Over a year ago, Minchin announced he was developing a musical adaptation of the comedy classic “Groundhog Day”. Today, it was announced that the musical will start its Broadway run in 2017 with previews in January and opening in March.

While this will take awhile, we have no doubt that as Tim is at the helm, it will be worth the wait.

The great multi-hypenate comedian Tim Minchin has taken a beat poem that follows a dinner party debate of science vs. belief from his live 2008 show “Ready For This?” (that was adapted into an animated short film) and has now adapted it into a graphic novel called Storm. Though an atypical road for a creative work like a poem, Minchin would be the comedic voice to make all of this work wonderfully.

Minchin will be throwing a global launch event on Oct. 6th that will be live streamed from Soho House in West Hollywood 11AM PST. For now, you can and should pre-order Storm on Amazon here.

Tim Minchin Developing a Groundhog Day Musical

While adapting any material into a musical can be suspicious, one of the Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day from the brilliant Tim Minchin is probably going to be pretty great. 

We hope this makes it to the stage and tours across the world so we can see it soon.
