Bringing his critically acclaimed TINSELWORM show to Australia, Bill Bailey will return in September for his 6th Australian tour.
Voted the seventh greatest stand-up comedian of all time on Channel 4 (UK) in 2007; comedian, musician, actor and presenter, BILL BAILEY is perhaps the consummate guitar wielding, beard wearing, Klingon-resembling entertainer.
Best known for stand-up tours and his work on television in programs including ABC TV’s cult comedy Black Books, ABC2’s Spaced and the UK’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks (the TV quiz show that the Australian ‘Spicks and Specks’ was born from) he has also acted on stage, appeared in films and played with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Bill has continued to tour and his fusion of music and comedy has spellbound audiences across the globe in shows such as Bewilderness and Part Troll and now TINSELWORM.
Critics have been just as enthusiastic, with The Times calling him “the finest stand-up comedian this country has to offer” and The Observer describing his show as “a consistently brilliant collage of musical parodies, anecdotes and off the wall surrealism”. His 2007 arena tour Tinselworm boldly went where no comedian had gone before. In short, as The Scotsman put it, “Bailey is an allround entertainer whose appeal transcends age, gender or coolness quotient. He is, quite simply, brilliant.”
