I watched this on TV last night and it was utterly hilarious. I havent seen his act before, the only time Ive seen him is in Black books or on the occasional game show but Im definately going to be looking for more of hs stuff from now on.

I didnt realise he was that funny. I know he was funny in the small things Ive seen with him in, but the Part troll thing was hilarious, right up my street.

I only saw the second half, but he is bloody funny. And I can't believe how genuinely good Kraftwerk doing the Hokey Kokey was. :help:

He's wonderfully funny - a breath of fresh air from most comedians these days!

Does Bill Bailey still look like an extra from a Klingon themed Star Trek episode?

Jabbers, yer need to get/see Cosmic Jam and Bewilderness too, although Part Troll is my fav and possibly the best.

We went to see him last year when he came to the Sheff Arena, which was ace and managed to record his infamous "Love Song" which is available here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RPjuF38hlA

Yes we watched Part Troll a couple of nights ago. It was a hilarious, best bit was probably the "Love Song"

That'll be 'Is It Bill Bailey' ( 1998 ) - 6 episodes of stand up and sketches which also introduced a very fresh-faced Simon Pegg to the world of entertainment (which resulted in Bill being cast as Bilbo in Spaced). You can catch bits of it at youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=FhXkaa3aw_Q&feature=related and last year Bill mentioned on his site that he hopes to convince the BBC to release it on DVD but still no further news on that.
