I've got my ticket already - Horay for Wembley (I never thought I'd say that)!

Hmm. Nothing in Edinburgh. I wonder if he'll be doing a run at the festival this year? Caught him last year with Beergut 100, who were quite brilliant.

Go to Glasgow then, thats what? Half an hour/an hour by train?

I've just moved away from bloody Bournemouth!

Here's hoping he adds a south west date.

Edit - and even that's sold out. Holy shit.

It can't be sold out the tickets are not on sale yet. General release on 26th of this Month, just the first batch of tickets will be gone, the ones sold on his site only.

I've got a ticket for the Wembley one too. It should be fantastic!
The Part Troll tour he did was brilliant ... I stopped breathing at one stage I was laughing so much.

Ah I didn't get to see the Part Troll tour live, what a privelage you had! I got to work on the last thing he did though, when he did the Cosmic Shindig with the BBC Concert Orchestra for comic relief I worked on that, got to have a chat with him and did alot of work as library assistant. Upside: something really great on my CV that I'm proud of!

Wow, what a fantastic experience you had! Well done you!!! Definitely a great addition to your CV!

BTW, when you ordered your ticket through Bill's site, did you get told where you'd be sitting/standing? Ususally those ordering sites say but it just said 'general admission' when I got a confirmation through.

Yeah likewise, just general admission I'm afraid. I hope it's not a: We open the doors in two minutes, fight to the death for seats...I don't want to have to hurt people again

I hope Bill comes to Montreal sometime soon. I'd go in a heartbeat if they booked him for the Just For Laughs festival.

Oh yeah that would be bad. I'm sure that would just cause far too much chaos. Hopefully they'll be allocated. Otherwise it's stick your elbows out looking like a chicken and then barge and bundle!!!

Should be seeing this thanks to the lovely Hayleigh. I gather there may be a few other forum members planning to attend that show...

Lou is coming, and her fella and some mates and then a whole bunch of others we know not from here.

Ive been well 'grr' at this...i wanted to get tickets straight away as soon as i got the email saying he was touring...and even tho they are on sale...i have no money until pay day tomororw...ah well...money goes in my bank about 2am so will buy some them.

Also General Admission (according to the FAQ's) means that we will have allocated seats, we just wont know what they are until we get the tickets..but they will be good



Why isnt it november yet?

That's good news! Thanks for that HCP!!!

Hey according to the website we've been allocated the best seats! Depending on when we booked them it's from the stage going back. So, fantastic.

woo!...got my tickets...now only have to wait 6 months to actually recieve them.

Yay! going to see bill bailey!!!

Plus get to team it with an afternoon out in Newcastle..which i always enjoy.

Yup



and there are more there for Bournemouth now

I shall hopefully be booking tickets to the Bournemouth gig tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up Hayleigh! Hopefully I will be at Manchester, if its half as good as the Part Troll show it will be well worth it, my friend and I went all the way down to London for the weekend just to see it!

Why the hell did I type 'Bournemouth'? I meant Birmingham. I could have sworn I typed Birmingham last night.

Anyway, I've now ordered tickets for Birmingham. At least I hope it was Birmingham.

Hooray!

Awesome! Bill Bailey FTW

I'll be there as well Ade. I feel a Spaced-Out pint coming on. Maybe the Flapper and Firkin seeing as it's spitting distance from the NIA. (FACT! I've tried it)

That would be brill. I'll have to check with my friends what they are planning on doing, but I dare say that will be fine. Although I've already nominated myself as designated driver. I did the last run to NEC, so I'm sure I can talk myself out of it again so I can have a brewski!

Ace. This week is going well plastic.




edit: I forgot to write what I came here to post: according to Bilbo's website, Manchester Evening News Arena, Bournemouth BIC (Windsor Hall) and Wembley Arena are already sold out. You'll need to try elsewhere if you want those venues, folks!

What we all seem to be forgetting is that this is still another 7 months away. Who knows what will happen. They could invent a car that drives itself so you won't need a designated driver. Fingers crossed.

So long as it talks and has a snazzy LED gizmo that goes wwhhhf-wwhhhf...wwhhhf-wwhhhf... I'll be happy.

And a flux capacitor would be nice. Even if it doesn't do anything.

In fact, I hope Mayor Goldie Wilson converts all our cars to self driving flying ones for us.

Yay!! My mum went up and got tickets for me and my brother while I was at college!!

Wow! How great is your mum!

Yeah!!

We're 2nd row and everything!! Woop!!

Ah brilliant! I'm guessing you didn't get them off the Bill Bailey website then, I don't know where I'm seated yet unfortunately, I know it's a decent seat (thats what the site says anyway) but thats about it. Which venue are you going to? I'm a Wembley man myself.

I gots tickets for Manchester! whoop!
I think I'm about as far from the stage as you can possibly get (which, at the MEN is pretty far!) but hey-ho, I'll take my binoculars!
Anyone else going to Manchester? Might be an excuse for a pint?

Seeing as the Birmingham NIA show is next Friday and I am yet to receive my tickets I thought I'd ask around and see if anyone else had received theres and who is going to the Brum show?

Nope, I've not got my tickets yet either.
I had a look on the Tinselworm Ticket Update page and it says that tickets "can arrive up until 5-7 days prior to the event" and that they "anticipate that all tickets will be despatched by Friday 16th November at the very latest. Every customer will receive an email confirmation when their tickets have been despatched."

Really looking forward to seeing it. I'm off to the Wembley show on 29th Nov. You'll have to let us know what you think of the show after the Brum one.

I hope Mel's tickets have already arrived. We're meant to be going this Friday (she gets back Thursday)...

Me! Me's a goin' to Brum! Not had my tickets yet though....

Yay. Anyone else Brum bound. I have received an email from the ticket people saying they are sent out by super speedy courier and if you don't receive them in time then you collect them at the door so nay worries.

If there are a few people going and anyone has time afterwards we should go for a beer. There's an excellent ale pub just behind the NIA.

Cool beans. Aprés Bilbo Drinks sounds good to me.

Should have had my tickets yesterday, but I slept through Secure Mail's attempted delivery. They're now being re-delivered on Tuesday to my place of work. Woot.

It was thoroughly entertaining. I laughed like a drain

I went to see this at the Wembley Arena on Thursday night, and it certainly was very funny. My jaw ached from laughing so much. Not sure I enjoyed it as much as Part Troll, but it was still a great show. It was being recorded that night for the DVD release so will definitely be looking out for that when it comes out. Brilliant musician that man. Also managed to randomly bump into Lou (Psychic_House_Hunter) who runs Jess's fansite. Considering the thousands of people there that was pretty funny! Lovely chatting to her before the show.

Glad you enjoyed it Caz. Wish I could've gone, sounds like it was a great night!

i caught his towel .

Cool.
Are you going to:
a. put it in your bathroom
b. frame it on a wall
c. wrap yourself in it and sleep on it every night
d. ebay it
e. other

f. you're a gimp

ha ha no, i actually went eugh and threw it at my friend who has kept it.
