DVD Description
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 Darwin’s curious obsessions and the myth of intelligent design are all worked over in Bailey’s own surreal style.
He revisits the music of his youth, with a brand-new French Disco re-working of Gary Numan’s 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.

I saw this show in Lancaster it was the funniest stand-up show I have seen. After ad-libbing with the audience for over an hour thoroughout the show; he still did his material and it was fantastic. Mostly new jokes and look out for the self service check out till part, the whole audience was crying with laughter. 5* I found it much funnier than Part Troll (my previous favourite) and I think because Bill Bailey doesnt have to swear, like most modern comedians, to get adults crying with laughter then it is a massive achievement and so he deserves to be one of Britains finest comedians.

Saw this show last night at Wyndhams Theatre in London. Totally hilarious yet thoughtful and thought provoking. His mastery of grasping the audience's attention with comedy timing and musicality is unparalleled ( sorry if the L s are in all the wrong places!) I am 54, my son is 17, we both enjoyed it equally - there was a huge diversity in the theatre audience. My only complaint was I was sitting next to young Australian woman who 'Whooped' at everything he uttered! Still it was a terrific night! He did 3 encores!!!

Some people are comparing this to part troll and marking it down because of it. I think thats a little mean to be honest. Try comparing it to his last dvd outting (tinselworm) and then do it again.
All joking aside, I thought this was a pretty good show. Certainly better than tinselworm.
Not sure why Bill can't recreate the amazing routines of Part troll but I also think its a little unfair to keep dragging it up as a reason as to why anything else he does isn't worth the effort.
There are some genuinely funny moments. (although I will admit to thinking that his musical material has lost a lot of its punch)
It's not his greatest work no, but it is still some solid stand up that won't leave you annoyed at having paid for it.

This is fairly entertaining, but for anyone who is familiar with Bill Bailey's Tinselworm, there is a lot of reused material.

Like many others I loved Bill Bailey's earlier DVDs such as "Part Troll" & "Bewilderness" - however I'm struggling to believe that this abomination came from the same comedian. Read more
