4.0 out of 5 stars Gifted insanity, 15 May 2009
By Mr. David Halliday (Ilkeston Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Bill Bailey has carved himself a niche as a comedian with a brain and a love for music. His stage shows see him mix a rambling style of stand up mixed with musical comedy. It's during these musical monologues that Bailey really shines and his oddball genius can best be seen. So it is a great idea to have him take over the Albert hall and take his lunacy to a new level with a full symphony orchestra in tow. Rather than stretching his ideas too thinly, writ large they seem to take on a new lease of life and he appears more of a potty genius that the spaced out hippy he seems on tour.
At the beginning it appears as if this is going to be a modern 'Peter & the wolf' or 'Carnival of the animals' as he takes a brief look at various instruments but once he plays a rather spooky tribute to jellyfish on a theremin alongside the orchestra he begins to inject his own brand of humour onto proceedings and so it is that we get to enjoy cockney music's influence upon classical music,( the full orchestra going hell for leather on 'William Tell' with cockney interludes & bailey playing the spoons is good fun), a breakdown of 70's US cop show music is a little overlong but funny nonetheless, a jazz reading of the Dr.Who theme music is inspired! He also does a war of the worlds style re-take of his potty piece 'insect nation'.
There is a very gentle pace and humour here which is relaxing, entertaining & still very funny. If you are a fan of his then Bill Bailey will make you laugh once again with this very enjoyable concert. It has a very professional feel to it and goes a long way to spotlighting a very individual and funny entertainer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, 11 May 2009
By Mr. D. A. Wynn "darrenwynn1" (Oxfordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Saw an abbreviated version of this on BBC Two the other night, having missed it live. Interesting new version on 'Insect Nation' (which he didn't perform when I saw him in Reading on the Part Troll tour...) but it's a good introduction to the orchestra and also the roles the instruments play, along with Bill's unique sense of humour! WIll be pre-ordering this so I get it as soon as it's released!! :)
