Bill Bailey. I haven't beens a fan of his for long, a few years; after buying the Comic Aid DVD I was introduced to him. And I was in stitches, his jokes were fresh and yet it was the love song that he sang that I loved the most. He could just sing this song, looking like he meant every word, or acting like he meant every word, and yet everything that he was singing about; 'oh he's so sensitive, he's got a tattoo.
Well carving you name in my forehead with a compass was not enough for you!'
That song introduced to the world of Bill Bailey, and I haven't looked back.
In Buzzcocks his humour is apparent and completely random, in Black Books his humour is brought through his character Manny and working with other comedian's. On his own, on the stage he is electric. Some people may not agree and think he is funny, but he's too random. I love that, I like random things, having a conversation that can be serious to talking about how Hitler was a vegatrain and look Ghandi was too. He just points out the obvious and manages to make it funny.

Bill Bailey has to be my favourite comedian EVER. I'm a big fan of comedy so I've definately done my research, but I'm also a musician, so Bill Bailey impresses me the most.
From the work I've seen him do; his solo shows (Part Troll, Bewilderness etc.) and Series' (Black Books, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI etc.) he's become my idle :D
Spontaniously hilarious, extremely talented... and slightly weird... are the words I'd use to describe him. Don't let the crazy, hippy-look put you off, I reccomend him to anyone - even random people in the street who I don't know. I can't stop smiling hen I see him, any time I hear his name my ears prick up, and I can't stop talking about him... maybe I'm just a little obsessed... but anyway... Bill is a genius and I WILL definately see him live! I reccomend you do the same! If not, get a DVD or watch him on TV (hey, that rhymes...).

I don't think this guy has gotten enough fame, considering his talent, because apart from his stand-up shows he's done around the country he hasn't appeared on many shows until quite recently getting part as team captain on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'.
A few of his FABULOUS quotes -
"My first job was selling doors door-to-door, that's a tought job innit?? .. 'bing bong' can I interest you in a .. o s**t you got one, well never mind!"
"But we won't have any GM, oh no! Which is a shame, I think we've missed a trick there. We could develop wheat with the properties of velcro .. to catch whatever it is that's forming those crop circles!!! But then the spaceship would have to have the corresponding velcro so it's a bit of a long shot!"
Bill Bailey = LEGEND!!!

Bill Bailey is a great comedian, who relates to personal and politicial issues, as well as completely random ones.
I own 'Bill Bailey - Half Troll' on DVD and everytime I watch it I burst out laughing, mainly because of the songs he sings.
I have to admit, sometimes he can be the most unfunny man in the world... but that is rare.
I never miss an episode of 'NMTB' and 'QI' because Bill just adds an essence to it.
