Bill Bailey: Vaudevillean

Friday, 6 November 2026 at 8:00pm, Plymouth Arena

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 showbiz, tales of the city.

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…

An entertainer, a performer, a modern Vaudevillean!
