About this episode
Nick and Angela welcome their first Grammy-nominated guest to DISH HQ. Writer, actor and composer Tim Minchin was born in the UK and raised in Perth, Western Australia. He gained notoriety when he won the Perrier Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2005 and his (unplanned) career in comedy took off. These days, Tim MInchin is busy collecting accolades for his theatre shows, winning a Tony and an Olivier for Matilda: The Musical. He also picked up a Tony award for Groundhog Day: The Musical which has just returned from Broadway to the Old Vic in London for a limited run. Angela prepares a delicious chargrilled vegetable & orecchiette salad with fresh pesto and rocket while Nick pours a chilled Pinot Noir. Tim is not a cook and marvels at Angela’s prowess in the kitchen. Although there is no cheese course, conversation does start there and the eight minute opera that Tim composed about his favourite food. Our trio talk Groundhog Day, Barbecuing and Twitter. Just so you know, our podcast might contain the occasional mild swear word or adult theme.
