Bill Bailey bringing new tour to Brighton

Kicking off in Plymouth on December 12, 2021, his new live tour will see Bill perform in Bournemouth, Cardiff, Leeds, Hull, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, London, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Peterborough, Liverpool, Sheffield and Dublin, before wrapping things up at Belfast’s SSE Arena on January 15, 2022.

And it comes to the Brighton Centre on January 5, 2022.

How did we get here? How do we find our way through this? And exactly who are we again?

In Bill’s new show, EN ROUTE TO NORMAL, Bill ponders this and other questions that this moment in history has thrown up, and tries to see a way through the strange unreality of our new world.

Tracing lines through chaotic moments in history, Bill seeks out parallels where human resilience and our ability to endure has got us through times of strife.

He recounts his own experiences of dealing with isolation, including his thoughts on the ‘sounds of lockdown’. This led to a greater appreciation of birdsong and how the natural music of nature in general has inspired many great composers throughout history, and perhaps led to the creation of music itself. Our reliance on technology has inspired Bill himself to create dance remixes of video-calling ringtones.

Through music, songs, and memories, Bill considers our changing priorities, the wonder of dogs, how little things can keep you on track and rhapsodises on his new-found love of skydiving.

Bill Bailey is currently taking part in the current series of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and is partnered with current champion Oti Mabuse.

Having declined previous requests due to ongoing touring commitments, the pause in live shows due to the pandemic has provided Bill the opportunity to partake in the forthcoming series of BBC1’s hit primetime Saturday night entertainment show, Strictly Come Dancing. Bill will join a cast of names from the world of music, sport and entertainment as they don their dancing shoes and sparkles in the hope of securing this season’s coveted Strictly Glitter Ball.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 11th December 2020 at 10am priced from £35.
