About this deal

In December 2021, Bailey started touring his new show, En Route To Normal, to venues in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2022 Bailey took the tour to venues in Europe, and in October to Australia. [36] Music [ edit ] Bailey in concert, 2007 In 2012, his world tour was entitled Qualmpeddler, which toured the UK as well as returning to Australia and New Zealand in August and September 2012.

Early in 2007, a petition was started to express fans' wishes to see him cast as a dwarf in The Hobbit films, after his stand-up routine mentioned auditioning for Gimli in The Lord of the Rings. The petition reached its goal in the early days of January, and was sent to the producers. It was hoped that as the Tinselworm tour took him to Wellington where the film was in pre-production, that he would be able to audition. [35] saw the release of his 1995 show Bill Bailey's Cosmic Jam. The two-disc set also contained a director's cut of Bewilderness, which featured a routine on Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time not seen in the original version.

Retrieved 12 December 2011.Bailey appeared at the Beautiful Days festival in August 2007. The UK leg of the Tinselworm tour enjoyed three sell-out nights at the MEN Arena in Manchester, Europe's largest indoor arena, and culminated with a sell-out performance at Wembley Arena.

He went solo the next year with the one man show Bill Bailey's Cosmic Jam. The show led to a recording at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London which was broadcast in 1997 on Channel 4 as a one-hour special called Bill Bailey Live. It was not until 2005 that this was released on DVD uncut and under its original title. It marked the first time that Bailey had been able to tie together his music and post-modern gags with the whimsical rambling style he is now known for. We ve all been forced to spend more time with ourselves, in the company of our own thoughts. And I’m thinking that maybe a little more self-awareness and personal reflection is something that we could retain when we come through this. It won’t necessarily lead to InstaMag happiness, but it’s good training for long term contentment.’To research his life story is to stumble upon all manner of intriguing details. For instance, he is an honorary member of the Society of Crematorium Organists, which he thinks gives him the right to play at anyone’s funeral should the organist fall ill or go missing. “Excuse me, coming through, I’m a professional!” he jokes, like a medic on a plane. “I’ve not exercised that right yet. It might be a bit insensitive to gatecrash someone’s funeral just to get a gig.” I always go sit in the empty auditorium and visualise the show. I imagine myself in the audience watching the show. Somehow that helps my performance. I imagine what people needed to do to get to the show and their expectations. It’s a way of reminding myself that every show is unique and needs to be as good as it can be. Bailey’s childhood in Keynsham, near Bath, had its quirks. His dad was a doctor with a surgery in the front room of their house. “Sometimes the patients would get lost and wander off into the house, only to encounter this slightly bemused young boy on the stairs,” he says. “At other times, people would phone up for my dad when he was on call and before I could say that he was out they would start spooling out their symptoms, which was a bit embarrassing when it involved some grotesque bowel movement.”
