Bill Bailey Dandelion Mind

Bill Bailey Dandelion Mind at Wyndhams Theatre

Why see Bill Bailey Dandelion Mind?

Featuring Bill’s trademark musical interludes, observations and stories of the road, Dandelion Mind will be based loosely on the theme of doubt (or will it?), as we follow Bill from his real-life saga of being trapped by the ash cloud, to his barely contained rants about celebrity, TV, creationism and Michael Winner.

He demonstrates new instruments, both ancient and modern, he sings an internet love song, a lament about punk heroes, Iranian hip-hop, and plays a mean folk-bouzouki.

Thomas the Doubter gets a new look, and Darwin’s curious obsessions and the myth of intelligent design are all worked over in Bailey’s own surreal style.

He revisits the music of his youth, with a brand-new French Disco re-working of Gary Numan’s hit, Cars, played in his own inimitable way, and maybe some Wurzels-based remixes of classic German techno.

Just your normal Bill Bailey gig, then.

Absolutely Fantastic

Bill Bailey is a genius - both musically and comically. We took our 11 year old daughter who had seen the dvd of Bill's guide to the Orchestra and she loved it. Some of the humour went over her head but not much. And what a great venue - recently watched Tinselworm and, though I would have loved to have been there, realised that this gig was much more intimate and therefore much more fun. Would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Bill for a great night - you rock!! ... Read more

Turned out very good

My brother Andy thought that being taken to this show was perhaps the best birthday present that he had had. This was Bill Bailey at his usual high standard of performance. He gave us about 100 minutes of jokes and music (he sings and plays a few different instruments). The technical aspects of the show seemed to go off without a hitch. There was an intermission for us to catch our breath. Bill was tired of being compared to 'Wagner' on 'X Factor' (ITV) and was surprised by an audience comment about a drug-filled Kinder Egg. ...

Masterful comedy

Saw Bill last night - a comedy masterclass which gave us aching sides and faces from continual laughing. Songs, musings, bicycle horns and end of show video summary left us literally helpless with laughter. But he does lose a star for his too predictable mocking of 'religion' which was directed totally against Christianity - like all such observers, he did not dare to mock Islam the same way. Otherwise he is a national treasure and the show is true comedic genius. ... Read more
