‘I want to leverage my luck, helping people who are less lucky’: Tim Minchin gets behind Ausmusic T-Shirt Day
Tim Minchin, says he wants to help those in the creative industries however he can through his partnership with local music industry charity, Support Act.
In support of Ausmusic T-Shirt Day on Thursday – which celebrates local music and talent while raising funds to assist Australian music workers in crisis – the Australian musician and comedian appeared on a recent episode of the Fear & Greed podcast where he discussed his work with Support Act.
“I don’t feel the urge to support Support Act because of my own experience. In fact, it’s kind of the opposite,” Minchin said.
“Although I’ve had my ups and downs – and I’ve worked pretty hard – I feel an overwhelming sense when I reflect on my career is of how lucky I’ve been. But because I’ve been lucky, I guess I have an insight into what it looks like to not be.”
