Bill Bailey will be performing at the First Direct Arena in Leeds as part of a huge UK tour next year.
The legendary comic has announced a run of dates across the UK for 2026 for his Vaudevillian tour.
His new tour is inspired by Vaudeville, a theatrical genre of variety entertainment which was popular in the early 20th century.
Bill Bailey plans to strip his material back to the days before streaming, TV, cinema and radio, with a night of comedy, songs, and multifarious skills in Leeds.
The star is a famed jack-of-all-trades, a multi-lingual, multi-instrumental talent and comedian – ‘a modern Vaudevillean’.
The show promises to bring: “Tales of the strange, the unusual… All with the aim to amuse and amaze a broad audience.
“Enthralling family fun, to divert and transport from the tribulations of daily life!
“Bill Bailey returns with a show that celebrates this great tradition, as the versatile multi-instrumental, multi-lingual, purveyor of humour and musical prowess, who could lay claim to being perhaps the foremost practitioner of this great tradition…”
Bill Bailey will perform at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on Saturday 28 November 2026.
Tickets are on sale from 10am on Thursday 27 November HERE.
