Earl of Whimsy with Bill Bailey

After the 2016 sell-out tour, Larks in Transit, the UK's very own straggle-haired polymath, Bill Bailey returns to Australia with his new comedy and music extravaganza Earl of Whimsy.
It has Bill's trademark blend f satire and surrealism, dtories and dismantled jokes, crowd sing-alongs, weird instruments and musical showstoppers. But there's a distinctly historical feel to this show. With its tales of Britain's past and present. of ancient Viking battles, of Shakespeare's contibution to comedy, and Bill's own ancestry, this is both a mockery and a celebration of national identity.
It;s also a journey of discovery. We find out where Knock Knock jokes came from, how we got days of the week, and why Nicky Minaj rejected a puffin smaple for her latest single. There are lively audience discussions, a mass German singalong, and even some Cockney crab-dancing. Something for everyone.
