News: 36 Extra Dates for Bill Bailey's Larks In Transit Tour

Bill Bailey has announced an extra 36 dates for his 2018 Larks In Transit tour. Kicking off in Coventry on 29 January 2018, the show will tour the UK throughout spring, culminating at Peterborough Arena on 9 June 2018.
 
Larks in Transit is a compendium of travellers’ tales and the general shenanigans of twenty years as a travelling comedian.  With musical virtuosity, surreal tangents and trademark intelligence, Bill Bailey tackles politics, philosophy and the pursuit of happiness.  Plus, he fashions a symphony from a ringtone, tells the real story of Old McDonald and re-imagines the Stars and Stripes.  Two decades of touring larks from a comic described by The Telegraph as “the brainiest comic of his generation.”
 
Described by The Guardian as “one of Bailey’s best shows for years“, Bill’s most recent live show, Limboland, was arguably one of his most successful ever.  Having performed the show to in excess of 230,000 fans, across 170 sell-out dates in the UK alone, including a six week run in London’s West End, the critics were unanimous in their praise. 
 
Bill has also performed at the Edinburgh Festival almost every year since his debut, Cosmic Jam, in 1995.  His 1996 follow up, Bill Bailey Live, earned him a nomination for the prestigious Perrier Award.  The fringe has also seen Bill branch out as a dramatic actor, firstly in an extremely well-received production of 12 Angry Men, as the restrained Juror 4, two years later as the slouchy, unkempt Oscar in the equally acclaimed, The Odd Couple.
 
In 2011 Bill performed one of the biggest comedy gigs in the world, performing to some 60,000 fans at Knebworth, when he headlined the Sonisphere Rock Festival alongside rock gods Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
