So F**king Rock Live (also known as So Fucking Rock Live)[1] is a DVD released by Australian musician and stand-up comedian Tim Minchin. It is a recording of his live performance at London's Bloomsbury Theatre in May 2008 and contains songs and material from his previous Darkside and So Rock albums.[2]

Synopsis

The show contains Minchin's trademark blend of comedic songs and poetry linked by short segments of observational comedy. It features many of the songs that have helped contribute to Minchin's popularity, including Peace Anthem For Palestine, which he himself has stated is his favourite song to perform.[3] In the two hour performance, he tackles a series of issues including the theory of natural selection, babies and his worries about sex.
