Tim Minchin is the latest headliner to be announced for Eden Sessions.

The Eden Sessions is welcoming comedy back in 2012 with musical comic Tim Minchin who will be headlining a one-off day of humour at the home of the famous Biomes on Saturday 23rd June.

Tim, who was born to Australian parents in Northampton but grew up in Perth, Western Australia, is a pianist and comic songwriter who is recognisable by his distinctive wild hair, heavy eye make-up and tendency to perform in bare feet.

Tim Minchin joins a bill that features Example and Devlin (Saturday 30 June), Plan B (Friday 6 July) and Blink 182 (Sunday 8 July - SOLD OUT). More acts will be announced soon.

Martin Williams, Eden's Marketing Director, said, "It's great to see comedy back at the Eden Sessions and Tim Minchin is a great addition to our line-up. Like our first comedy headliner Bill Bailey, Tim combines music and stand-up to brilliant effect. He is one of the best comics around and we can't wait to see him here."
