    Bill Bailey is intelligent, clever, witty and uses his extensive musical skills to provide excellent British comedy. He has lampooned the musical styles of bands such as Rammstein, Kraftwerk etc. whilst able to play a wide variety of musical instruments, rewriting songs in his own wicked style. There are many RUclips videos showing his talent.

      Bill live is definitely an experience. I was at one gig in Oxford, ten or twelve years ago now - we dragged him back on stage for eight or nine encores, one of which involved him teaching the audience how to actually sing "La Bamba", and he wouldn't stop until we got it right.

      I still recall the very first time I saw him live; I was in pain from laughing so much! He really has mastered the art of riffing off the audience. Sadly when he progressed to doing arena tours the gigs lost a lot of that rapport due to the sheer scale. Fortunately, he's gone back to doing more "intimate" venues again which far better suit his style.

He can often be found sitting cross legged on a tree stump in the middle of the forest, contemplating, and giving out little pearls of wisdom. He is known down here as the Dalai Farmer. Watch ANYTHING with his name in it, you can not go wrong, he's not too bad

    Bill is referring to the high number of convertibles in UK as "optimism" in reference to UK weather - i.e it rains a lot to warrant to have a such a car in the first place, and hence it is way "optimistic" to assume weather will be good for driving them.
