简介
Ready for This? is the third solo comedy album released by the Australian musical comedian Tim Minchin. It was recorded during Minchin's show at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London during December 2008. The album has received high praise from reviewers with Chortle describing part of the epic beat poem Storm as "the most succinct, unarguable rejoinder to 'alternative medicine' that you will find anywhere" and Rave magazine describing the chorus of "Prejudice" as a "winning refrain". One of the more contentious songs on the album is "The Song for Phil Daoust", about the Guardian writer who gave Minchin one of his very first bad reviews after seeing him at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2005. Minchin has stated in interviews that he decided to use Daoust's real name as it was crucial to the material being "shocking". According to Times Online, the song "addresses the awkward relationship between critic and performer with gleeful venom". During the live performances of "Bears Don't Dig on Dancing", Minchin would call an audience member (usually planted) up on stage to dress up in a bear costume and break dance during the song.
