Bill Bailey Announces 2021 UK Arena Tour

Bill Bailey has announced a new arena tour for December next year.

The comic – who is about to go into Strictly Come Dancing – has unveiled 12 big dates for the new show “En Route To Normal”, including a Boxing Day gig at Wembley Arena in London, along with Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Hull.

As the title suggests, material will include lockdown and how to ‘see a way through the strange unreality of our new world’ – but the comic says he came up with the name ‘before we’d even heard of Covid’.

Bill Bailey will go on tour in December 2021

According the show’s description: ‘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.’

Bailey says that for him the pandemic led to a greater appreciation of birdsong and how nature has inspired many great composers. Lockdown also prompted him him to create dance remixes of video-calling ringtones.

Bailey’s last tour was Larks In Transit, which toured the UK, Australia, and New Zealand – including a  five-week residency at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre – starting in 2018 and playing to more than 350,000 people.  A final European leg of the Larks In Transit tour was pulled because of the coronavirus.

His new book, Bill Bailey’s Remarkable Guide to Happiness, a collection of essays exploring the nature of happiness, will be published next month.
