Lucky kid is going to have the best upbringing ever. I can’t imagine you being anything less than a fantawesome father.

Posted by Sarah on November 25, 2006

This photo really is amazing. It’s so beautiful. It just makes you realise how beautiful the world can be. You both look perfect. Just perfect.

Violet Whitfield Minchin. That is such a pretty name. It sounds dignified and classy. That is such a beautiful picture, too! She looks like the cutest thing in the whole world and you look really content and at peace. Congratulations Tim!

What a gorgeous child. You’re a lucky man, Tim.

Posted by Rachel on November 26, 2006

My heart was beating with anticipation and I was so overwhelmed with joy when I saw little Violet - and she’s not my baby! I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling…the most heartfelt congrats to you, your wife and baby xxx

Posted by TinyT on November 26, 2006

All that could be said has been, so I’m left feeling unoriginal…. Congratulations on the lil bundle of joy! Such a sweet name!

Like Clair, I just saw you on The Culture Show, although I’m sure I’ve heard Inflatable You before….

Congratulations once again, hoping to get hold of tickets to your Cheltenham gig!

Still can’t get over how amazing that picture is - real rock ‘n’ roll.
Really happy for you mister - you are going to make a fantastic dad.
She is going to be the coolest kid in town.

Good on you Tim! You will be a great Father no doubt :D ^^ Violet is a beautiful name.

Posted by Catty of Nedlands on November 26, 2006

Just had a phone call from the proud greatgrandfather Max (Ellison) with your latest and surely the most exciting news of all. I can see you are a proud dad–congratulation from one of your Perth fans!!! Where are the photos of Violet with her mum? Love to you all.

Posted by Evan on November 26, 2006

Well done Tim. Congtraducaltions. But now you have to remix your shows and wont be able to make fun of couples with children.

Just another artistic avenue to explore!

Posted by Bego on November 26, 2006

Awwww, so, so incredibly cute! Congratulations for you and Sarah. And of course congratulations to you, Vi! You have an awesome father. And I’m sure she’d make good friends with my girl. She had a lot of fun listening to you when I was five months pregnant, after all.
Oh, well, guess that peer pressure paid off, didn’t it? Now you have your own morning picture of another… miracle!

Posted by Kathleen on November 26, 2006

Love Tracy

Posted by Steph on November 26, 2006

Awww. I’m so excited for you!! Shes adorable!! She’ll be quite the looker (given seeming who her father is), you’ll be fighting to keep those boys away!

Posted by Max Minchin on November 26, 2006

Max is at Catty’s for tea, has seen the photo and sends this message–
Congratulations to you both. Joan would have been thrilled, as I am too. When are you bringing her to Perth? Best wishes as always.

Posted by Abbey on November 27, 2006

Congratulations, Tim! This photo is great, and Violet is a really lovely name. Best of wishes to you and your wife, and tiny Vi. I bet there’s no feeling like it!

Posted by M. on November 27, 2006

I’ve tried to post this comment like a hundred times now. I’m getting tired, it’s 2 am in Salamanca. I just hope I don’t wake up tomorrow to find one hundred nativity poems littering your website…

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your daddy’s funny
And so are you.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your daddy looks stoned
Good luck to you!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You are a beauty
What can you do?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Get well soon, Sarah
Doo doobe doo

Besitos,
M.

Congratulations to you Tim! Violet is a gorgeous baby. I love the name too.
Good luck!

Posted by Em Cowling on November 27, 2006

Congratulations Timmiy and Sarah! How exciting. Got a rowdy but happy phone call on Saturday morning from your mum (chamagne flowing with Ma &Dad). Glad to hear all went smoothly, she looks absolutly beautiful - definately has a Fisher/Minchin look about her! Love to Sarah and a big kiss for Violet.
Love Em (and Adam) - Karratha

Posted by Em Cowling on November 27, 2006

Timmy not Timmiy. xx

Posted by Jono on November 27, 2006

Maybe she will grow up to be a super hero, then she can be called ‘Ultra-Violet’… ok, i’m sorry, that was a bad joke.
Catch ya round, oh and M… I like your poem!

Posted by Jen on November 28, 2006

congrats, such a gorgeous wee darling!
just saw you on the comedy festival show on tv down here in aus, you had me in hysterics!

You rock dude!

Posted by Nicola on November 29, 2006

Thankyou *so* much Jen. I would have forgotten to watch the montreal festival because i thought it was another repeat. I’m in Perth so your comment gave me the heads up and it’s taping now. I love you.

Posted by Wisp on November 29, 2006

Posted by Glenn on November 29, 2006

Excellent!
All the best to Sarah, Violet and yourself.

Posted by Darlene on November 30, 2006

Just think, when you take her shopping you can put her in one of those canvas bag things.

She looks lovely. Violet is a lovely old-fashioned name (it was my nana’s name).

Glad to see you and your missus are sensible folk in that regard.

Congratulations. It’s really what life’s all about.

Posted by Rowan on November 30, 2006

COngratulations, though it’s been said a million times over already. Hope it’s the beginning of a beautiful and happy life with the three of you. ^^
Raise her well, Tim (though I don’t doubt you will anyway).

Posted by Louiebugooey on December 1, 2006

As many times as it has been said before, congrats! She is so adorable.
With any luck she’ll have her dad’s humour, too.

Posted by Renee on December 1, 2006

Congratulations to you and Sarah.

The world (and I’m sure Violet) thanks you for not burdening her with a stupid or misspelled name.

And the estrogen-fuelled call of “N’awwww” rings throughout the globe. She’s very cute.

Posted by Jasmine on December 2, 2006

Congrats and Violet looks so adorable. You’re going to make a wonderful father and your wife will make a darling mother. All the best for you and your families futures of smelly nappies lol.

Posted by Jason B. Standing on December 3, 2006

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Much love & excitement & joy for the Minchin clan ! Babies are cool. Other peoples’ are a bit weird and kind of look like aliens, but it’s definitely cool to get your own.

Posted by Umberto Eco on December 7, 2006

Yes so wow this is a human child yes? no.

what colour is she when you leave her under the fridge all weekend?
Ok ok so shuddup. I am from Bologna ok. OK? I maybe a very important intellect or whatever shuddup.

Posted by Darlene on December 14, 2006

Excuse me if I engage in a little cheap plugging of me (sounds sort of rude).

Mr.Minchin was kind enough to answer some questions from me, which will appear in a publication next year. However, just for you lucky Tim fans, you can read it now on my website.

Tim seems like a very nice young man, although I’m not sure about the mascara.

Thanks.

Posted by EmO_eChIdNa on December 17, 2006

aww come on! the mascara is the bomb! if only more guys(apart from the emos who are incedently the hottest!) wore more mascara!

Posted by EmO_eChIdNa on December 17, 2006

move back to aust! raise vi in australia!!! the best country in the world so that she gets our comedy not the dodgy brittish stuf!! lol asutralias gonna take home the ashes!

Posted by Janey on December 21, 2006

I do congratulate you, your family and friends for having a new member but I must say; maybe it’s because this post is nearly a month old maybe it’s because the protective ‘must cuddle now’ hormone has started to wear off after being just over a year since my own sons birth (his birthday is 2 days before your daughters) or maybe it’s because I am a mother and thus drawn to men who would/do make good daddies but all i can really think when looking at that photo is “Dammit, you’re sizzling.”

*bad llama*

Posted by Steph on January 4, 2007

all i can say is she’s absolutely gorgeous. seriously. just like her daddy :) she’s extremely lucky to have you as a father Tim.
best wishes!

Posted by Hugh on January 13, 2007

Congratulations Tim, I hope to catch your show when it comes to Durham - I’m trying to rouse a big crowd from the University to come with me!

Don’t feed her any donuts - you’ll regret it when she’s in her teens (you’re probably quite bored of that joke).

Posted by Alix on January 25, 2007

Well just new to this commenting invention here, so here is a late congratulation!! Shes the sweetest thing!! She really is lucky to have a dad like you, how long you gonna wait till you show her all your work? Must be wierd watching your parents on the tele or in shows. Well anyways, well done Tim!!
xxxxxx

Posted by Johna on February 1, 2007

very nice! though it does look like you’ve been trying to breastfeed her yourself!
I do hope this doesnt mean you won’t be doing the fringe this year, your show is the highlight of the festival for our company, ‘the village idiots’. our dirctors baby will be one during our run, you should come and swap baby stories!
many congratulations Mr. Minchin

Posted by Chris on February 10, 2007

How much for the baby?

Posted by Sarah (not your wife) on March 13, 2007

I’ve commented on this picture before on my space, but it’s just such a beautiful relaxed shot, it’s quite moving actually! She’s gonna grow up being so proud that you’re her dad, and I can imagine you’ll an amazing dad who’ll want to give her the world :)

It’d be cool for you to post new photos of your family occasionally, I bet she’s growing up fast!

Posted by Jaxx on November 10, 2007

This is one of those incredibly late congratulations you get from those friends you never see, who see you and forgot that you had a kid and then some one says you do so they congratulate you halfway through a conversation apologising only slightly and saying somehting about a trip overseas as well as food poisoning to make it seem as thought they knew all along.
Yeah.
One of those late congratulations.
Beautiful name too. She looks adorable.

Posted by camilla on November 17, 2007

(its her bithday soon, i hate birthdays, it shall now be….THE FIRST ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE CERTAIN DATE OF HER INTRODUCTION INTO THIS OXYGEN AND AL GORE FILLED WORLD, MAY GOD BE WITH HER)

she has an absolutely beautiful back of her head, really spectacular!

also, i would love to know why various people above have taken to referring to little violet as ‘it’ instead of ‘her’ or ‘the luckiest kid on this green earth that tim lives in’

infact me and my only-friend-left-who-will-now-still-listen-to-me-talk-about-you-for-hours-on-end (gasp…breathing is good) were anting about how cool it must be to have you as a dad, and HER mind isn’t even in a state of full conciousness yet (can’t wait for that)! and the envy that streams from us daily as we just have normal dads.

violet is a lucky little special girl, and you are going to be a one-of-a-kind dad!

Posted by johanna on November 19, 2007

Why are you using your child as an accessory? Aren’t there bylaws even in the UK? This is obvious cruelty and someone should notify the authorities. On a more genuine note - what a lovely moment. Dad looks like he hasn’t slept in months, perhaps he was holding his breath in anticipation? God (meaning whatever force that brings the good things) bless you, your wife and Violet. lovely all. (New York here)

Seems to me that all your posters are ither 17 year old girls or women your age, so that part of your career is a sucsess. Congratulations. Oh, and good job on your daughter. She seems lovely. Please think about touring Ca again, and giving us more notice. I only just found out about your proformance in LA.

Best wishes
