Bill Bailey - Tinselworm

Following a sell-out arena tour of the UK in 2007, and a sell-out tour of New Zealand and Australia in 2008, Tinselworm returns to the UK for a run at the Gielgud Theatre.

As in any Bill Bailey show, the subject matter is broad ranging; tattoos, marketing, doorbells, Emo, creationism, post-war banking secrecy, travellers' tales and the alternate reality that is Bill’s world - spun together with the sparkling thread of a seasonal invertebrate.

It has all the trademark Bailey elements; lyrical dexterity, tangential silliness and musical brilliance plus animation by award-winning film maker, Joe Magee, all of which combine to make this a verbal and visual treat. This will be the last time you'll be able to see this show before Bill puts it to bed.

Bill Bailey was previously in London's West End in October 2004 with his show Bill Bailey (Part Troll) which enjoyed an extended ten week season at The Apollo Theatre.

Bill Bailey - the star of Channel Four's Black Books and BBC2's Never Mind the Buzzcocks - brings his hit stand-up show to the West End for a six week season at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue.

Featuring a unique blend of the off-the-wall comedy and music for which Bill Bailey has become acclaimed; these performances feature nearly an hour of brand new, never-before-seen material. Bill's trademark peerless anarchic humour combined with his skills as a musician, make this an event not to be missed.

"In this terrific show, Bailey underlines that he is one of the few performers to bridge the gulf between music and comedy… He delivers some of the most brilliant comic songs on the circuit... inspired" The Independent

"A great, sweeping concept album of a show... Exceptionally skilful music including a Portishead version of Zippedy Doo Da that's worth the price of admission alone!" The Sunday Times
