Went to see Bill Bailey last night at a packed Hammersmith Apollo. It was a really good evening. He’s a clever, funny geezer. He includes quite a bit of musical stuff into the story, which was funny — a lot of the humour coming from the juxaposition of two things you would not normally associate — eg Kraftwerk do the Hokey Cokey (in German), bluegrass banjo–picker does Lady in Red, Portishead do Zippeedee–doodaa. And he had the crrrazzzy off–the–wall–come–up–with–weird–shit type humour, but at a nice level that I suspect had the whole audience thinking they could relate “hey, groovy, this guy’s got a bit of quirky sense of humour, bit different, just like me — what fun”!? So all–in–all, top evening;— tee hee. Amazing when you think about it that all those people turned up to be entertained by one guy for two hours… but he was good enough.
