Bill Bailey’s ***** Steampunk
I cannot recommend this Edinburgh Festival show highly enough! Not usually one for this behaviour but I must have guffawed my way through at least half of it! Absolutely hysterical in places!
Bailey puts on a dramatic twist to the genre of Stand-Up comedy. His act of slick jokes, musical interludes and the use of the big screen was hilarious. He had a new toy, a keyboard like instrument that distorted the images on the big screen!
His content sails a little close to the wind and using similar material (with the US the butt of his jokes) to the mainstream can seem a little old news but his new slant more than makes up for it. And don;t forget his musical prowess, a comic musician of the highest order. If you get the chance to see it, look out in particular for his superb Friends theme renditions and of course his legendary Hokey-Kokey in German!
Certainly one of the highlights of the Edinburgh Festival.
It looks like we went to see the same showing! It was a huge room in the EICC eh?!
I felt a bit let down after going to see the show. Maybe because I had very high expectations going in there and nobody could meet them. But hey, I still laughed my ass off the whole way through – I was just hoping to be dying on the floor through laughing too much and breathing too little
Yes it was a pretty big place and I would bet he is sold out every night. I don't think it is as long a run at the Fringe as he has had in previous years.
I think the old jokes that followed the mainstream (attacking the US) spoiled it a little. I had expected something a little more original, but it certainly didn't stop me laughing out loud and having a great evening.
