Darkside is the first solo comedy album released by the Australian musical comedian Tim Minchin. It was recorded during Minchin's show at the Spiegeltent in Melbourne during 2005. It contains early versions of some of the songs Minchin still performs now, such as "Inflatable You", "Rock N Roll Nerd" and the title song "Dark Side". The show and particularly the song "Rock N Roll Nerd" is described as "kinda biographical" by Minchin as they tell of his dreams of being a rock star and how he failed to take himself seriously.
