Bill Bailey announces seven-week West End residency

Bill Bailey will return to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a seven-week residency with his new show Bill Bailey: Vaudevillean.

The run follows Bailey’s previous engagement at the venue in 2024 and 2025 with Thoughtifier, and comes after the conclusion of his UK arena tour later this year. The residency is presented by Phil McIntyre Live Ltd.

Bill Bailey: Vaudevillean takes inspiration from the tradition of vaudeville, combining comedy, music and speciality performance alongside stories drawn from showbusiness and city life alongside musical performance.

Bailey is a comedian, musician and actor who has appeared on television programmes including Black Books and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. His live work combines stand-up and music, and he has toured extensively in the UK and internationally. In 2020, he won Strictly Come Dancing with professional partner Oti Mabuse.

The show will be running from 16 December 2026 to 6 February 2027.
