the phrase 'national treasure' gets thrown about alot, but Bill Bailey truly is and always will be.

as a dutchie I have to say his pronounciation of "dat is de vraag!" was spot on

So much talent - dancer, actor, singer, musician, comedian, ornithologist, husband, father, all round good bloke and human being 🙃

Bill is one of my favorite people in the world.

Bill is a legend ❤ There's still huge affection in my household for 'Black Books' and I only have to think of the 'Little Book of Calm' sketch and I'm giggling like a loon 😂

As impressions go... I don't know the dutch guy personally... But Bill Bailey's impression of a Dutch dude doing an impression of an Englishman is spot on! 😂 So good!

Classic, talented, bloody marvelous entertainment! There’s not many around like Bill anymore. Amazing!

Bill Bailey is just a born entertainer.

Holy crap! Bill Bailey is one of the most powerful performers on earth.

Ya gotta love that man. He never fails to delight. The gift that keeps on giving.

Absolute legend! I saw him live in 2018 and my sides were in pain at the end of it. I haven't heard so many people laugh as much as the people who were in the that theatre that day. One of only a few people who are 100% pitch perfect when it comes to music.

Harmonising on alpine cowbells. Now that’s talent!

Bill Bailey is the guy I want to live forever. So good. He and Tim Minchin.

10:26 The musos were loving it!

A home grown proper entertainer. Wonderfully talented. Brilliant!

Bill Bailey is the best. Love his humor and talent with music.

We Dutch people know our language sounds weird. The most beautiful reference I have heard. It's like someone speaking German with a hot potato in their mouth.

love, love, love Bill Bailey! the definition of fantastic entertainment

Only act i ever watch on ytube. Cannot get enough of him. Genius.

I am US based. I have had enough exposure of Bill Bailey [Namely "Black Books"] and Qi that I recognized the name, and had to see the full video. This is amazing. I'm not sure it's humanly possible to do anything else in under 15 minutes. If anyone could I think Bill would be on that short list to attempt. This was great, and I find it to be a perfect "Capsule" of who Bill is. It has the bonus of being something I can easily share with my friends over here, and the jokes still work. Then we get Tequila as Ragtime, and Auld Lang Syne as well?!

Genius. Pure and simple.

Bill=legend

Saw Bill 'live' in Hobart some years back. Great night. Huge room all laughing hysterically 😂

Christ, Bill, when will you bring your show to Canada already? I'm stuck watching Jimmy Carr twice this year in Montreal...we need you at Just For Laughs man.

Love a bit of Bill every now and again.

Master of comedy, and master of music!

Brilliant all round entertainer. Fabulous human being. May he share his talents for many years to come.

Remember Bill playing Gary Newmans 'Cars' using bicycle horns? NEVER gets old/stale.

Never heard him before that was Fun Thank you 👏👏👏👍

He’s a good un for sure 5 ⭐️ I saw him at Heathrow some years ago He was at a self check In machine or something I just looked at him and thought 💭 oh that’s Bill Bailey I must have had my gormless face on (normal btw) he just looked smiled and winked I’ll never forget it I Just walked off laughing

We love you Bill!

OMG as he was coming out I was thinking wow he sure seems to be standing up straight and dancing and moving a lot, and then that's what he opens with is the acknowledgment of it and explains why that's just crazy but it was so obvious that it was the first thing in my head when he was coming out I was like why is he looking so spray? LOL

This guy is so supremely talented it’s insane

If you don't love Bill, you're officially broken!

Just brilliant, always mostly.

Legend

Just Brilliant.

Bill Bailey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,love him

A class act. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Bull Bailey always impresses me - and the music is so cool

Bill is having so much fun 💕

I love bill bailey so much. 😊

Just Brilliant !!!! / TREPANIC :)

One of the few stand ups who doesn't need to eff and blind on stage.

That made me very happy. 😊

I love Jim Jelly

ALWAYS ETERTAINING !!!

This guy is Magic

Proves that comedy does not have to be rude and crass, and expletive filled to be funny

Long live the BILL.

certainly maturing with age always so entertaining to behold thanks for sharing

I know he's STR8 but I still have a crush on Bill Bailey He's Quality Yeah Innit.

I saw him on this tour in Sydney, it was brilliant. He's an absolute legend IMO.

Genius

We forbid Bill Bailey to ever die.

Ledge-bag of epic proportions

A Klingon Mugger - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

his spanish is very good, and funny

I need more mandolin ska in my life because could there be anything more delightful

❤

Bill is awesome!! I just don’t understand, though why Brits always start clapping when someone is giving a music performance. It just interiors Bill’s musical genius! 😂😂

The clapping along to the music and they get the time signature wrong really fucks me off

American TV has never been half this good (well maybe when Groucho Marx was alive)

klingon mugger lmao

Ah yes! - my absolutely favourite naturally caped comical entertainer ❤ Bye bye 2022; "The Year the Chickens Actually Did March on Kiev"... what remarkable foresight, huh? (No, too soon?) - Takk! føhh køffee... øøøøh... see tømøhh...

Absolutely gifted genius. No need for offensive language to get attention. Pure class. We need this in today's world as well as the next.

Bailey, Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica

Top lad. That's all.

Pure Gold.

Bill is genius (in Dutch accent)

Ross looking like hugh hefner LOL

"Zijn of niet zijn dat is de vraagggggggggggg" Seems about right, we Dutch take the sledgehamer approach to pronunciation and then there's our music. (We should've given the village it stems from back to the sea ages ago)

Tequila!

Pop songs in a ragtime style... so, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox?

Dutch person here. Bill Bailey is quite right about Dutch not sounding very agreeable. As a friend from abroad once observed: Dutch is not a language, it's a throat disease. ;)

There's a theater in the Hague looking for a Hamlet

I can just about do some vaguely similar things on the violin, but I don't come close to this. I am proposing a vote to any deity that has a KZfaq account to make Bill Bailey immortal.

Stage isn't the normal type of stage for bailey which is usually all dark lol, but bailey deserves an MBE for comedy

😂😂😂

Bill next time you are in NL, I can give you a year's content about being an Englishman near Amsterdam.

isn't it cute when the investment bots all talk to each other, their chitter chatter is amusing and completely useless. bot 1 says, my investments are tanking does anyone know how to make better money? and then a plethora of bots all pop up with spam and disinformation thinking they're going to snag someone reading the comments. LOL

Did you know that Axl Rose's real name is Bill Bailey??? It's a fact!!! lol

Fair…..😮

I'd like to hear more about the jams...

I wonder if he hired Al Murray's gong guy for that last number.

Dutch sounds like rocks being dragged across rough concrete and I'm saying that as a Dutch person.

Is Bill knighted? If he isn't, he should be, gosh dang darn it.

That is an extreme haircut.

genius

Skip the first 8 minutes and 7 seconds… then his genius comes out.

Anyone else searched for him amd a llama ?

Behold the wisdom of the Dalai Farmer!

Bill is only 58. I thought he was older.

he might be fantastic but "nobody tells `im nuffin"

Stop clapping along to the music!

the excessive clapping. listen to the music ffs

5:07 "No! You press 'send'--that way, she'll know it's from you." Madness? Yeah, that or the guy was just drunk/drugged...

Sorry Jonathan, but that jacket makes you look like an After Eight

I remember the Rubber Bishop's, When he was funny.

I always think it must be very uncomfortable playing a keyboard standing up
