Bill Bailey brings Vaudevillean to the West End's Theatre Royal Haymarket
Comedian Bill Bailey is bringing his new show, Vaudevillean, to the West End for a seven-week residency at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. A residency is a run of shows at one theatre over a fixed period. The West End run was announced in March 2026.
On stage, Bailey sits in a box with velvet curtains, surrounded by exotic stringed instruments. He wears a bowler hat and carries a cane. He plays a keyboard and an oud, a pear-shaped stringed instrument from the Middle East, alongside a range of unusual instruments. WhatsOnStage published its review of the show on 6 November 2026, under the headline calling him "a jack of all trades and a master of fun."
The Theatre Royal Haymarket lists tickets from £30. Performances run Tuesday to Sunday at 8pm, with matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 3pm. Theatre Royal Haymarket gives these times on its listing page, so check the page before booking, as times can change.
The show began its tour outside the UK. Bailey's official website describes Vaudevillean as his return as a modern vaudevillian, a performer of the old variety stage who mixes music, comedy and novelty acts. For anyone planning a visit, the box office is the place to confirm seats, prices and any booking fees before buying.
