Bill Bailey: Qualmpeddler (2013)
After receiving rave reviews in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, Bill Bailey brings ‘Qualmpeddler’ to the Hammersmith Apollo London. A brilliant mix of stand-up, stories, music and old-fashioned wit distilled from his own extraordinary experiences and reactions to the modern world, he looks at Cut-Price Shark Diving, The Hiding Skills of Dentists, A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance & Internet Shopping, Mandarin Ambiguity, Religious Dubstep, and Fashioning Replacement Hamsters. All in all, vintage Bill Bailey with trademark musical mash-ups, multi-lingual riffs, films, songs, philosophizing and silliness on a grand scale…plus one amazing owl. “Qualmpeddler is... part rock-concert, part political discourse, part philosophical enquiry... masterfully constructed... the thinking person’s comedian...” - Herald Sun, Melbourne.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Blistering performances.
Is it me or is Bill Bailey just getting better and better? I liked this show an awful lot and I would even dare say it is better than 'Part Troll'. His rants, wordplay, jokes, musical intermezzo's flow into each other with an incredible naturalistic ease which makes it all seem so effortless. Bailey has created a niche in stand-up comedy which has no comparison and makes his shows quite unique. The only small problem was that he sometimes references British celebrities unknown to me or other non-Brits and that he sometimes speaks quite fast in his limey accent which makes it sometimes difficult to understand without subtitles. But his shows are one of the few stand-up comedy shows where I really laugh out loud (insert LOL joke from the show). If you're a fan of stand-up comedy or Bill Bailey you won't be disappointed!
