Bill Bailey's Tinselworm

I watched the new Bill Bailey live DVD, Tinselworm,  yesterday. Having never seen any of his stand up before, I have to say the man is a comic genius. Filmed at Wembley Arena (which is a huge place to put on a comedy gig), Bailey's use of music and video in his routine give him that special something that only true comedy greats have. He's obviously a very intelligent bloke, prone to over-analysing things to the point of them becoming hilarious. For instance, he pulls apart the Killers lyric from All These Things That I've Done (the one that goes "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier"), saying that at first it's a good lyric, then you realise it makes absolutely no sense, it's like saying "I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster!" I've liked Bill Bailey since seeing him on Black Books, which is one of the best sitcoms in recent years in my opinion. I'm actually off to see another former Black Books cast member live soon - Dylan Moran. Looking forward to that one.
