Bill Bailey : Vaudevillean

Vaudevillean is a stand-up comedy show by Bill Bailey, presented at The O2 in London. It is a live comedy performance on stage, given on several dates during this visit to London.

Bill Bailey, the comedian and musician, performs Vaudevillean, a stand-up show in which comedy and music sit side by side. The title points to vaudeville, the variety entertainment of song, sketch and novelty acts, and the evening is built around that mix of humour and live performance. Bill Bailey appears alone on stage as the performer, so the show rests on their timing, observation and playing.

In the auditorium, expect a stand-up set delivered in a single performance, with the comedian speaking directly to the audience between musical interludes. The tone is light and character-driven rather than confrontational, and the production relies on the performer's own material rather than a cast of actors.

The O2 is an arena and entertainment complex on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London, which hosts concerts and shows across a wide range of genres. Bill Bailey's stand-up tours have long drawn audiences who enjoy comedy with a strong musical element.
