Last night Mike and Jimmy and I went to UCLA's Little McGowen Theatre to see Bill Bailey perform and it was a fantastic show. He was smart and absurd and out and out hilarious and I'm pretty sure none of you in the U.S. have never heard of him. (I was in the dark about this guy until last month when Magnus turned me onto a BBC series called Black Books.)
If you're in Los Angeles, he's here until the 23rd. Get ahead of the curve and go see him.
Best show ever!

I hate to be the guy deserving of the QI "I'm a hateful little pedant" badge, but Black Books is from Channel 4, not the BBC (though he is on Never Mind The Buzzcocks every week and rocks there too).

sorry 'bout that julian. It's a draw. In the U.S. it was run on BBC America so that's why I said BBC.

i want to nitpick too! you used a double negative and said "none of you in the us have never heard of him" meaning we have all heard of him, in which case you are simply wrong. i have never heard of the tail-man.

Also, LOLing is punishable by death.

Really glad you enjoyed him! He's generally pretty amazingly fun.
