Tales of showbiz, tales of the city.
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 the strange, the unusual… All with the aim to amuse and amaze a broad audience.
Bailey may be one of our biggest-name comics, a national treasure no less.- The Guardian
His verbal flights of fancy exude wit, brains and boundless imagination.- The Evening Standard
More prolific the older he gets, with no dip in quality.- The Sunday Times
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…
An entertainer, a performer, a modern Vaudevillean!

Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
