Tim Minchin Performs a Song From Matilda on Conan

Tim Minchin is an international comedy superstar, but the US is just starting to get to know him. Tim headlined the Moontower Festival this spring and killed. He’s also the composer and lyricist of Broadway’s award winning Matilda the Musical (based on the Roald Dahl book, Matilda). Last night on Conan he performed a song from Matilda. He told Conan that his daughter has some questions about why Matilda is allowed to disobey her parents. He had a pretty good answer.
