Bill Bailey: Vaudevillean

Bill Bailey: Vaudevillean comes to Edinburgh Playhouse on Wednesday 25 November 2026. Ticketmaster lists the show at 8pm, with low availability shown for the Edinburgh date as of 19 September 2026.

Bailey describes Vaudevillean as a celebration of the old variety-show tradition, built around comedy, music, language, and his multi-instrumental live performance style.

The Edinburgh show sits inside Bailey’s November and December UK and Ireland tour. His official tour page places Edinburgh immediately after Glasgow, making this a single Playhouse date rather than a multi-night run in the city.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

Vaudevillean is built around Bailey’s mix of stand-up, musical performance, and offbeat observations. The tour description leans into the idea of the travelling vaudeville entertainer, so this is not a straight microphone-and-stool set.

Bailey’s shows regularly use several instruments and musical styles alongside the comedy. The exact running order is part of the live show, so it is better to expect a mixed-format performance than a conventional stand-up set with a fixed topic list.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster. Availability can change quickly, and the Edinburgh date was showing low availability when checked on 19 September 2026.

Edinburgh Playhouse

Edinburgh Playhouse is on Greenside Place at the east end of the city centre, beside the St James Quarter and close to the top of Leith Walk. It is a large seated theatre, so your view and distance from the stage will depend on the ticket section you choose.

Getting There

Edinburgh Waverley is the simplest rail arrival point. The theatre is also handy for trams and frequent buses through the city centre and Leith Walk corridor.

Our Tips

• Book sooner rather than later if you want a choice of seating, as the Edinburgh date is already showing low availability.
• Allow extra time around the Playhouse before an 8pm start, particularly if you are arriving through the St James Quarter or city-centre tram stops.
• Check your ticket for the latest door time before travelling, as Ticketmaster currently lists the performance time rather than a separate doors time.
