This is not a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/Tim-Minchin-s-stunning-performance-of-his-beat-poem-Storm or
http://videosift.com/video/Tim-Minchin-s-Epic-9-Minute-Beat-Poem-Storm-Live

Those just have the words. This is Minchin himself doing it...

Two sifts in a row, taranimator! Only 23 to go to bronze star status!

Perfect.

It seems the Storm animated short (trailer here) was finished a few months ago. But they're holding off on releasing it to the public domain until they stop getting invited to film festivals and nominated for awards.

Allow me to clarify. This is technically a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/Tim-Minchin-s-Epic-9-Minute-Beat-Poem-Storm-Live?noredirect

That one had however gone dead and been fixed with an inferior text version, making it a dupe of the other one. And since the duping procedure was carried out with his blessing, it appears that @Haldaug has given it up officially, so that it is now @taranimator's property.

Carry on.

god isn't real? Snakes and ladders... I was about to stone my folks to death for disobeying a commandment, I'm glad I don't have to any more.

When did russell brand start doing poetry?

Watching him actually do it is SO much better.

Mentioning Russell Brand in polite company, let alone in comparison with the supremely talented Minchin, is a crime. Brand does jokes about sperm and threesomes (see, he's a sex god - get the subtext?) - Minchin invites thought.

Although Brand does indeed do jokes about sperm and threesomes http://videosift.com/video/Russell-Brand-s-Threesome-With-His-Mate-Matt and I know you have no time for him, I think his comedy is more kind of using the English language to it's full effect. He might not be funny to everyone but he is incredibly intelligent, Stephen Fry credits him, who can argue?! BTW, I'm not his biggest advocate either and I agree Tim is more talented
