Larks in Transit for comedian Bill Bailey

-

BILL Bailey, the veteran of alternativ­e comedy, is back in town in early 2018 as part of his new tour.

Performing at De Montfort Hall for two nights in late February 2018, the stand-up will recollect 20 years worth of tales from his life as a travelling comedian in his new tour ‘Larks in Transit’.

Keeping tradition to Bailey’s previous standup shows, the Never Mind The Buzzcocks star will intertwine his come- dic tales into a musical masterpiec­e, similar to his former sketches ‘Cockney Rock’ and ‘Unisex Chip Shop’.

Bailey’s popularity including songs in his stand-up performanc­es encouraged petitions in 2008 from several fans for the funnyman to enter himself as Britain’s entree for the Eurovision Song Contest- his Associates­hip Diploma from the London College of Music would have been put to great use there.

Alongside being a trained classical musician and an award-winning comedian, expect Bailey to include his experience­s being a political activist and philosophe­r, hilariousl­y undertakin­g difficult subject matters in the Larks in Transit tour.

The show will contain stories and events significan­t to Bailey’s life, including coverage of Brexit, Trump and an embarrassi­ng encounter the Somerset-born comedian had whilst meeting with the former Beatle, Paul McCartney.

But don’t expect cheap gags from Bailey when he discusses the overly-joked political matters- the comedian can promise an alternativ­e, intellectu­al approach to what are already easy subject to get a quick laugh from!

Bailey will be playing at De Montfort Hall at 20:00 on March 26th and 27th, 2018.

Tickets are priced at £27.50 and are available from the venue’s website.
