Tim Handsome (aka Tim Hansen) is a charming shit-stirrer with a heart of gold and a butt you could bounce coins off. A quiet country kid from Carcoar, Tim brings a fresh perspective on this whole business of being a Gen-X gay man making his way in this increasingly baffling world, hopefully finding love in the process.

He’ll tell some jokes, sing some tunes, and show some skin, because who doesn’t like checking out a handsome man in a cape and hot pants? Nearly Naked is all-original comedy songs written by Tim, covering the ins-and-outs of being a gay guy in your 40’s, from mental health hiccups to dating dudes, all with the mix of optimism, cynicism and a healthy dose of vulnerability that leads audiences saying “well… I don’t know what the hell that was, but I sure enjoyed it!”

Need some credentials? No worries! Bathurst audiences will know Tim from the 2023 sold out hit show Fast Cars, where he both played Tezz Byrnes and the keyboard. He’s composer of the hit musical Schapelle Schapelle and cabaret Airlock and was finalist in the 2018 Vanda & Young International Songwriting Competition for his signature tune Don’t Be a Dick, which he’ll sing if you ask nicely. Also he makes really good minestrone (but not during the show, because that would be weird).
