This three disc box set contains three of Bill Bailey’s shows, including the new Dandelion Mind DVD:
Part Troll
Tinselworm
Dandelion Mind
Part Troll:
It started on a small scale in Edinburgh, then became a national stand-up tour and now, Billy Bailey Live – Part Troll is available on DVD. Featuring the usual mix of comedy and music, Bill touches upon high street shopping and swimming with dolphins.
Tinselworm:
From the imagination of Bill Bailey, experience Tinselworm–a visually stunning comedy and music extravaganza. Filmed at Wembley Arena at the end of a sell-out tour of the UK, its everything you expect from Bill, and more. Using huge screens, films and animation by award-winning film-maker Joe Magee, plus Bills trademark musical inventiveness and verbal brilliance, this is quite simply the most spectacular one-man comedy show ever staged in the UK.
Dandelion Mind:
Featuring Bill’s trademark musical interludes, observations and stories of the road, Dandelion Mind will be based loosely on the theme of doubt (or will it?), as we follow Bill from his real-life saga of being trapped by the ash cloud, to his barely contained rants about celebrity, TV, creationism and Michael Winner.
He demonstrates new instruments, both ancient and modern, he sings an internet love song, a lament about punk heroes, Iranian hip-hop, and plays a mean folk-bouzouki. Thomas the Doubter gets a new look, and Darwins curious obsessions and the myth of intelligent design are all worked over in Baileys own surreal style.
He revisits the music of his youth, with a brand-new French Disco re-working of Gary Numans hit, Cars, played in his own inimitable way, and maybe some Wurzel-based remixes of classic German techno. Just your normal Bill Bailey gig, then.
