This “national treasure” (The Guardian) is as eccentric and multi-talented as ever, so don’t wait – join him in the West End this winter.

Before television and radio, everyone was talking about music halls and vaudeville… and for one night only, Bill Bailey is bringing it back to the West End. His new show celebrates comedy, music and the great tradition of vaudeville entertainment – all delivered with his trademark oddities and wit! Expect tales of showbiz, the city, the weird and the wonderful, and most of all, expect to leave with a huge smile on your face.

Bill Bailey is a comedian, musician, writer, actor, director, and presenter who is best known for his stand-up comedy, which combines humour with live music. He has appeared on several panel shows, including Never Mind the Buzzcocks and QI, and won the 18th series of the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing with a memorable performance to “Rapper’s Delight”. Bailey is no stranger to a live show, with over 400 under his belt already.

With his distinctive hairstyle, wild imagination and penchant for playing all manner of instruments on stage, Bailey is one of the UK’s favourite comedians, described by critics as “[m]ore prolific the older he gets, with no dip in quality” (The Sunday Times).

He’s a 21st-century vaudeville star who’s ready to take you on a flight on fancy! Don’t miss tickets for the Bill Bailey Vaudevillean show at Theatre Royal Haymarket, playing for eight weeks only.
