Tim Minchin in Cork Opera House - two tickets up for grabs

by Colm

***Congratulations to William Grogan, whose name was drawn first at our meeting on Friday. Many thanks again to everyone who entered the competition.***

The outrageously funny and talented Tim Minchin is playing in Cork Opera House on the 31st of October.

Tim is the originator of the wonderful beat poem “Storm“. He also wrote the lyrics and music for “Matilda The Musical” with the Royal Shakespeare Company. His show is a mixture of comedy, polemic, skepticism, anarchy, and lots of fantastic tunes.

In conjunction with Blackrock Castle Observatory and Cork Opera House, we are pleased to offer two free tickets to one lucky winner.

To be in with a chance to win, simply drop us a mail* at corkskeptics at gmail dot com, with the subject “Tim Minchin at the Cork Opera House” and we will add you to the list. We will announce the lucky winners at our next Cork Skeptics meeting on October 21st. Best of luck!

* We will not share your information with anyone and we will only use it in the context of this competition. One entry per human being please!
