Comedian Tim Minchin shocks viewers as he drops the F-bomb while presenting Best Female at the ARIA Awards 2020

Tim Minchin shocked viewers when he dropped the F-bomb at the ARIA Awards on Wednesday night.

The 45-year-old comedian was presenting Best Female award with Kate Ceberano, when he reflected on what a tough year it’s been for artists in Australia.

‘One upside of having no international travel is that those Aussie acts that usually tour overseas are going to be stuck here and the international acts that usually come here will be staying over there,’ he said.

‘Do please buy a f**king ticket,’ Tim said, encouraging viewers to supports musicians who are touring again.
