Bill Bailey announces new show Vaudevillean
Before streaming, television, cinema – even radio – there was Vaudeville: the original prime-time entertainment, bringing comedy, music, storytelling and spectacle to audiences of all ages. In 2026, one of Britain’s most beloved performers is bringing that spirit back to the stage.
Utilita Arena Sheffield is delighted to announce that Bill Bailey will return with his brand-new live show, Vaudevillean, arriving on Wednesday 2 December 2026.
A celebration of the classic variety tradition, Vaudevillean brings together everything audiences love about Bill Bailey: razor-sharp wit, musical ingenuity, and a sense of the wonderfully unexpected. Drawing on tales of showbusiness, the quirks of city life, and stories both strange and spectacular, the show pays homage to an era of entertainment designed to astonish, amuse and bring people together.
With his trademark blend of multilingual jokes, masterful musicianship and boundless creativity, Bill Bailey proves once again why he remains one of the most versatile entertainers of his generation, a true modern Vaudevillean.
