Tim Minchin WAAPA Speech

On Thursday 21st March, 2019, Tim received an honorary Doctorate of Performing Arts from Edith Cowan University (ECU). The ceremony took place at the University's Mount Lawley Campus where Tim originally studied Contemporary Music at ECU's Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) between 1997 and 1998. Tim: "22 years ago, I went to WAAPA to try to learn to read music. I learnt other stuff instead. Recently, they put on a genuinely special ceremony and gave me an undeserved-but-much-appreciated honorary degree. I gave them a too-long speech."
