The incredibly funny Bill Bailey will kick off his massive Australian tour in Perth this October. Fondly remembered for his role as Manny in TV show Black Books and a stand-out performance as Maxie’s Dad in Skins, Bailey is one of the funniest comedians on the planet.
After the 2016 sell-out tour, Larks in Transit, the UK’s very own straggle-haired polymath returns with his new comedy and music extravaganza, Earl of Whimsy.
Earl of Whimsy promises to have Bill’s trademark blend of satire and surrealism, stories and dismantled jokes, crowd sing-alongs, weird instruments and musical showstoppers.
But there’s a distinctly historical feel to this show. With its tales of Britain’s fortunes past and present, of ancient Viking battles, of Shakespeare’s contribution to comedy, and Bill’s own ancestry, this is both a mockery and a celebration of national identity.
Bill Bailey will be at the Riverside Theatre on Thursday 4th October before he heads off to seventeen other shows around the country.
