Just back from seeing Tim Minchin's live show here in NYC, and it was great! There are few performers in the world who challenge homeopathy, god and psychics, much less all in one song (Goto http://www.timminchin.com/media/ and listen to If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out (Take My Wife)).
And the show seemed to work for a general audience, too, and the music is great... Go see this show, it closes this weekend! The good folks at NYC Skeptics arranged a discount:

"Articulate, thoughtful, dry and unashamedly polysyllabic… dark irreverent and talented… excellent, provoking, funny." (The Age, Melbourne)
“He plays like an angel, sings like the rock star he always wanted to be and has a devil of a sense of humour. This is an extraordinary performer.” (The Scotsman, Edinburgh)
