Bill Bailey will bring his ‘En Route to Normal’ tour to Australia

Comedian Bill Bailey is heading back down under and bring his new En Route To Normal tour across the country this September and October.

How did we get here? How do we find our way through this? And exactly who are we again? In Bill’s new show, En Route To Normal, Bill ponders these and other questions that this moment in history has thrown up and tries to see a way through the strange unreality of our new world.

With Bill naming the show before we’d even heard of Covid-19, En Route To Normal has become not just a funny, heart-warming mix of stories, music and history, but a personal mission to find our way through these strange times.

Tracing lines through chaotic moments in history, Bill seeks out parallels where human resilience and our ability to endure has got us through times of strife. Through music, songs, and memories, Bill considers our changing priorities, the wonder of dogs, how little things can keep you on track, and rhapsodises on his new-found love of skydiving.

He recounts his own experiences of dealing with isolation, ruminating the ‘sounds of lockdown’ which led to a greater appreciation of birdsong and perhaps led to the creation of music itself, and how our reliance on technology has inspired Bill himself to create dance remixes of video-calling ringtones.

Bailey is one of the world’s most loved comedians and fondly remembered for his roles in TV shows including Black Books and Skins – where he memorably played Maxie’s Dad.

The tour will kick off in Toowoomba, it’ll be the first of a massive 16 shows the comedian has locked in.

The tour will come to Perth on October 3rd and 4th taking over the Riverside Theatre, and then he’ll log a date at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre on 6th October.

For all the dates and tickets head to Bohm Presents.
