The gap between how we imagine our lives to be and how they really are is the subject of Bill’s new show LIMBOLAND. With his trademark intelligence and sharp wit, he tells tales of finding himself in this halfway place. From his countless global travels, he recounts the hilarious saga of a disastrous family trip to Norway to see the Northern Lights. He rails against a world that doesn’t match up to our expectations and contemplates the true nature of happiness. And no Bill Bailey show would be complete without music, so we have Bill’s version of the protest song, a heart – rending country and western ballad played on a bible, and a fabulously downbeat version of happy birthday.

Following the Australian leg of Bill’s tour reviews have been fantastic including:

“Life in Limboland, consistently funny and dazzlingly quick.” ✭✭✭✭ – Sydney Morning Herald

“A solid new effort from a genuine marvel… Pretty much unmissable.” ✭✭✭✭ – Melbourne Herald Sun

“The material is solid gold.” – New Zealand Herald

‘Stand-up-comedy at its best!’ (Scotsman)

‘Jimeoin recalls the familiar at a fantastically silly level, boiling his audience down to a tear-filled, gibbering mess’ (Scotland on Sunday)
