Due to massive popular demand the Hay Festival has added a second Tim Minchin date to the 2012 programme.   The original Friday night performance sold out within a couple of days.

The antipodean singer/entertainer/’thing of jaw-dropping wonder’ will now also appear on the previous Thursday night, typically a low key opening day ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend.  Both gigs will are in the Barclays Wealth Pavillion – the site’s 1500 seat flagship venue.  Tickets are on sale now.
