Bill Bailey announces arena tour
Musical comic to play 20 dates of his Thoughtifier show
Bill Bailey has announced a new arena tour entitled Thoughtifier.
The comic will be playing 20 dates in early 2025, kicking off in Dublin on February 9.
Promoters Phil McIntyre Live define Thoughtifier as ‘an intriguing device that can amplify the thoughts of a curious mind using music, channelled through a human instrument, known as Bill Bailey’.
And the promotional blurb reads: At a point in our evolution when it seems as if we’re sleepwalking into a world where humans might be redundant, and much of what we do can be done better and more efficiently by machines, what better time to celebrate our own flawed humanity.
‘And who better a guide to lead us than Bill… To take us on a jaunt through the error-strewn, distracted, crumb-festooned, sometimes magnificent history of human thought and how it might help us survive in this brave new world.
‘A magical, musical mystery tour of the human mind, along with some other pressing matters about whales, biophilia, unrequited love and other thoughts. Amplified with music.’
Bailey will be on The Graham Norton Show on Friday week (October 6) to promote the tour.
The 58-year-old comic – whose previous show En Route to Normal came in early 2022. will be launching Thoughtifier with a New Zealand tour in November.
Tickets for the UK arenas go on sale at 9am on Friday.
