"Before streaming, before tv, before cinema, before even radio…
There was Vaudeville!
This was the prime time entertainment of its day…
A celebration of comedy, songs, and multifarious skills.
Tales of showbiz, tales of the city,
Tales of the strange, the unusual… all with the aim to amuse, amaze a broad audience.
Enthralling family fun, to divert and transport from the tribulations of daily life!"
This November, Bill Bailey returns to New Zealand with his brand-new show Vaudevillean – bringing his trademark wit, musical virtuosity, and wonderfully twisted sense of the absurd.
Known for his iconic roles in Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, Black Books, and In the Long Run (created by Idris Elba), Bill Bailey has also hosted NZ’s hit panel show Patriot Brains. His creative work spans film, TV, music, and publishing—from voicing Dragonkeeper to authoring the best-seller Remarkable Guide to Happiness, and winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2020.
