Just seen him live - you MUST go if you get the chance, his YouTubes don't do him justice.
He's not only hilarious, but a awesome pianist and a great live singer.
He's got a bit of the Eddie Izzards about it. He's also got the style and persona that someone like Russell Brand wishes he has, but Minchin is naturally fey and quirky, he's a joy to watch.

Series 1's 'musician' was actually Tim Minchin. Series 2 was Tom Basden.

I knew it! Thank you, Dan.
Am very much a fan of this guy, seen him live many many times. He was kinda the reason I went to the MICF last year. As well as being a fantastic singer, he's also a wonderful piano player, and very talented on the guitar and accordion. As you do.
I'm a big fan of Minchin too. His beat poem stuff is incredible. Not just funny but the piano playing is eye-wateringly good. Storm has to be my favourite.
Oh I love Storm. It's a big middle finger to all homeopathists.
Which they deserve.
Tim Minchin is fantastic. Whether it is something complex like Storm or as simple as 'I love Jesus, I hate faggots', he's incredible.
I hate comedy singers.

I do most of the time too. Tim Minchin being a good example of that.
I like comedy singers. Tim Minchin is great, but his new tour is far too expensive. I SCOFF at your prices, Tim, scoff.

That bloody I and O thing again! 
I've seen him live a couple of times and he's ace but he does come across as thinking he's funnier than he actually is.
I have no time for Tim, unfortunately.
