The UK’s best loved comedian brings his brand new live show to New Zealand. Adrian Bohm presents the star of TV’s Black Books, Bill Bailey live in Wellington on 26-27 June at the Michael Fowler Centre. A second show on 27 June was added due to hot demand.

Following his hugely successful 2008 New Zealand live tour of his hit show Tinselworm, British comic and musician Bill Bailey returns to New Zealand with his brand new live show, Bill Bailey Live. 

Tickets for the Wellington shows are on sale from Ticketek now. Be quick to secure yours as there is a high chance they will both sell out.

Voted the seventh greatest stand-up comedian of all time on Channel 4 (UK) in 2007; comedian, musician, actor and presenter, Bill Bailey is perhaps the consummate guitar wielding, beard wearing, Klingon-resembling entertainer. Best known for stand-up tours and his work on television in programs including TV’s cult comedy Black Books, Skins, Jonathon Creek and the UK’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks, he has also acted on stage, appeared in films and played with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Are you sure about our world?  How many things do you actually know for certain?  There’s not much about the world that is simply black and white, apart from pandas maybe and OK, skunks, but that’s about it.  Most of our world is a grey area, and this is where Bill Bailey is going on his next tour.  A magical, musical, mystery tour through a human history filled with doubt, to a place where certainty reigns and where religion, death, egg-custard, twigs, and giant African land snails are here to stay. 

So do you refuse to accept there are things you don’t understand, do you desire to see the world only in black and white, or do you accept doubt into your life, make uncertainty your friend, do you embrace the greyness? There is also a complex subtext about clouds, squirrels and getting older, but you’ll have to figure that out for yourself…
