Comic Bill Bailey is coming to Bradford, bringing his trademark musical mash-ups, philosophising and silliness.

Bill will be in town with his new show, which boasts the “classic Bill Bailey elements” of musical wizardry, multi-lingual riffs, films, songs and pondering - plus one amazing owl.

Looking at the ‘consequences of lies’, the ‘unending search for the Higgs’ and the ‘hiding skills of dentists’, Bill tries to confront his ‘Cluster-Qualm’ of living in a ‘Time of Spectacular Ignorance’, nuclear worry, rare planetary alignment and Spice Girl reunions that may be part of the Mayan End of Days prophecy.

Voted seventh greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups in 2007 and 2010 and sixth best celebrity Twitterer in a 2009 poll by OnePoll, this is one comic you won’t want to miss.

Bill Bailey: Qualmpeddler is at the Alhambra on October 18 and 19. For tickets ring (01274) 432000.
