Bill Bailey – Vaudevillean
British comedian, musician and writer Bill Bailey is bringing his brand-new live tour to Leeds!
A true original in the world of comedy, Bill is known for blending stand-up with musical inventiveness, sharp observations and brilliantly surreal detours. His unique style has made him one of the UK’s most loved performers, with a career spanning TV, film, radio and countless sell-out tours.
Since his early breakthrough shows in the late 90s, Bill has released multiple acclaimed stand-up specials and become a familiar face on programmes such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI and Black Books. His ability to shift from clever social commentary to wild musical improvisation, often in the same moment, has earned him a reputation for delivering shows that are imaginative, unpredictable and laugh-out-loud funny.
Don’t miss the chance to see Bill Bailey live at the first direct bank arena for a night of inventive and unforgettable comedy.
