After a hugely successful 2022 tour, UK comedy sensation Bill Bailey returns to our shores in October/November with his trademark musical stylings and characteristic with a brand new show Thoughtifier.
Kicking off in Geelong on 24 October and finishing in Brisbane on 23 November, Thoughtifier will run with 16 shows around the country. Tickets go on sale Tuesday 21 May at 9am.
Bill Bailey, legendary comedian, musician and actor is best known for his film and television work such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, In the Long Run created by Idris Elba and the award-winning Black Books. In 2020 he won Strictly Come Dancing, Bill was also host of the first season of NZ hit comedy panel show Patriot Brains. Bill lent his voice to the animated film adaption of children’s book Dragonkeeper. His four-part series Bill Bailey’s Wild West Australia on ABCTV last year received outstanding reviews.
At a point in our evolution when it seems as if we’re sleepwalking into a world where humans might be redundant, and much of what we do, can be done better and more efficiently by machines, what better time to celebrate our own flawed humanity.
And what better guide to lead is than Bill… to take us on a jaunt through the error-strewn, distracted, crumb-festooned, sometimes magnificent history of human thought, and how it might help us survive in this brave new world.
A magical, musical mystery tour of the human mind. Along with some other pressing matters about whales, biophilia, and unrequited love, and other thoughts … Amplified With Music!
