Bill Bailey – Vaudevillean

Event

Before streaming, before TV, before cinema, before even radio…

There was Vaudeville!

This was the primetime entertainment of its day.

A celebration of comedy, songs, and multifarious skills.

Bill Bailey returns with a show that celebrates this great tradition, as the versatile multi-instrumentalist, 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!
