Bill Bailey - Vaudevillean!

Having debuted the show to great success in New Zealand this autumn, Bill Bailey is delighted to announce a brand-new UK ARENA TOUR for Winter 2026. With his trademark musical stylings and characteristic wit, Bill returns to the live stage in Vaudevillean. 
 

Before streaming, before tv, before cinema, before even radio… There was Vaudeville! This was the prime-time entertainment of its day. A celebration of comedy, songs, and multifarious skills. 

Tales of showbiz, tales of the city. Tales of the strange, the unusual… All with the aim to amuse and amaze a broad audience. Enthralling family fun, to divert and transport from the tribulations of daily life!
 

Bill Bailey returns with a show that celebrates this great tradition, as the versatile multi-instrumental, multilingual, purveyor of humour and musical prowess, who could lay claim to being perhaps the foremost practitioner of this great tradition… An entertainer, a performer, a modern Vaudevillean!
 

Opening in Plymouth on 6 November 2026, the master comic, musical maestro and Strictly Come Dancing champion will be performing Vaudevillean to audiences in Swansea, Southampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, Coventry, Liverpool, Cardiff, Derby, Bournemouth, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Blackpool, Leeds, Brighton, Sheffield, Manchester, Hull, Newcastle and Aberdeen, before hopping across the water to wrap things up in Belfast and Dublin on 12 and 13 December 2026, respectively.
