I’m so disappointed…a whole year to wait….

Bum.
March 15th, 2007 at 8:36 am
I can’t wait that long!
Although when you do don’t forget to go on Spicks and specks.
March 15th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
the land of oz… i wonder where the yellow brick road leads… maybe to the wizard of the opera house…

NO BILL NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! =*(
March 16th, 2007 at 7:23 am
Nooooooo! *weeps* I was really looking forward to it!!!
sends mind-altering thought waves: *do come to Adelaide, come to Adelaide, come to Adelaide …*
March 17th, 2007 at 12:45 am
Oh dear, I was looking frward to flying over 10,000 miles to catch the BB experience. I’ll still be in new zealand in may though, counting tea and coffee making facilities and trouser presses across the land.
March 17th, 2007 at 2:07 am
absolutely devo bill… ;_; see you in 2008!!!
March 20th, 2007 at 1:54 am
Didn’t know you were coming in the first place (just found your website). Looking forward to it.
We will be waiting!
(Wellington, NZ)

Very sad tour has been cancelled, you’d better be out here next year!!!!
You should also definitely go on “Spicks and Specks” when you come out here. It would be classic!!!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:58 am
Oh now that’s just unfair. Work commitments schmitments. Surely you can use the power of the mind to manifest yourself downunder?
March 21st, 2007 at 11:14 am
Well, stone the crows. That’s a kick in the shins and no mistake.
When you DO come, Bill, you must go on this new TV show here in Melbourne called “Thank God You’re Here.” Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mChQeqTbYSk
Comedians are thrust into a scenario without knowing what’s going on. Hilarious even without Bill, but with…
March 21st, 2007 at 6:32 pm
Ooh, does that mean you will be appearing in QI then? Here’s hoping!
March 22nd, 2007 at 9:56 am
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I’ve been building a fan base and everything!!!! I suppose I’ll live, but please come to Perth in the hot arid land that is Western Australia. and you should come and visit our school. It’s Perth Modern. Ask anyone, they will direct you to the right place. A world full of eccentric musos….a dream come true, surely? Hot Fuzz was awesome!!!
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:07 am
You’re not coming to oz, crap! Now I have to get my friend a new birthday present, how am I going to top this?
March 23rd, 2007 at 11:50 pm
when you do come, I’ll have the bee-keeping equipment ready at the gate (which was left slightly ajar, in hope of a speedy return).
Until then I shall amuse myself by watching endless re runs of little house on the prairie.
(sigh)
March 26th, 2007 at 11:08 pm
What an absolute treat! Thanks a million, Bill, for acknowledging your humble fans down here in NZ. See you on tour! Brilliant.
March 27th, 2007 at 1:00 am
Bill, are you by any chance coming to the download donnington festival this year, theres a poll here that says 99% of voters want you there, so please come

Maybe you are part troll!!!! How can we wait another year?
March 30th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
I really thought I was finished wishing folk a happy Hogmanay, I thought I had seen everyone. Please forgive me for forgeting you, And look at the trouble It has caused. If I had given you a quick first foot at Hogmanay this might have reminded you to wish everyone you know a happy New Year.
It would have cos Being a Haggis muncher I would have had to bring you some coal and a tall dark visitor and the only person I know that is tall and dark is a farmer who bears an uncanny resemblance to A sythe carrying bearer of the worst news, I am sure you would have remembered if a short drunk scotsman visited you with the offer of fossil fuels and an angel of death who was smelling slightly of cows at the stroke of midnight.
Will you ever forgive me? I will put you on my list of first foots for 07/08 but I cant guarantee the stroke of midnight because I will be in the village hall as its my job to pull the string and release the balloons. I will however get to you at some point during the month of January, it takes a long time to get round everyone.. I hope this will ensure that Hogmany will not drift past you without so much as a dram and a bit shortie and you can get out and shake some hands and wish a few new years.
Just let me know.

You must come to Western Australia (Perth), though. Everyone misses us, and we get terribly stroppy about it. I know for a fact there are like…fifty gazillion people who would potentially sell their own grandmother to see you
April 11th, 2007 at 2:58 am
Oh Bill, say it ain’t so!
Looking forward to your next trip to Melbourne ….
April 12th, 2007 at 3:29 am
Well Bill, we’ll forgive this timing problem, but could you try and squeeze in plenty of shows for us down here?
And please, be sure to tour in Tasmania! We have Dylan Moran here in Hobart next week, but would love to have you as well!
Please do more than one show for us, you’re just fantastic man, and will do 2 or 3 sell out shows here no problems.
April 13th, 2007 at 2:46 am
Goddammit – Ah well, will just have to wait another year then.
Ignore my email to you – as this blog pretty much answered my question re when are you touring OZ. That’s what I get for not reading the website properly…
April 13th, 2007 at 3:35 am
I missed out on getting tickets to your gig for this year. It was a blessing in disguise. Look forward to seeing you next year.
April 13th, 2007 at 10:08 am
sits and counts how many days till 2008..gives up cos have run out of toes…
April 15th, 2007 at 5:38 am
no..wait..are you coming to Wellington? Please..please don’t just go to Auckland …Dylan is coming to Wellington..*hint
April 15th, 2007 at 7:01 am
Extreme sadness
I was looking forward to seeing the show in Melbourne… Now I’ll have to wait
I’ll be moving at the end of the year as well (to an undisclosed location). Hope it’s somewhere near a tour venue tho 
April 15th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
How could you do this to us?! More to the point, what am I going to tell my kids. I promised them, Bill, I promised them. What will I say when their little trusting puppy dog faces look up at me and ask “When are we going to see Bill Bailey, Daddy?” Think of the children, for pity’s sake; think of the children… PS Wellington. You want to come and do lots of shows in Wellington. Remember that.
April 15th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Oh Bill, I did have Professor Karl ready to meet you in his magic castle with dolphins to swim with. But being the all powerful being that he is he was already aware that you had postponed and is preparing his schedule to fit you in for early 08.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:45 am
Won’t you come back Bill Bailey, won’t you come on back?
She moans the whole day long.
I’ll do the cooking darling, I’ll pay the rent;
I knows I’ve done you wrong;
Member that rainy eve that I drove you out,
With nothing but a fine tooth comb?
I know I’se to blame; well ain’t that a shame?
Bill Bailey won’t you please come back?
April 17th, 2007 at 5:09 am
So disappointed that you’re not coming this year! I’ve introduced a number of people here in Wellington to the Part Troll/Wizard and they are most distraught.
Will see you next year.

April 17th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Bill, by any chance when you’re flying down here, can you make a stop over in Singapore? I don’t think we’ll get the chance to have you anywhere near this part of the world in the future so please please please consider dropping by en route
April 18th, 2007 at 12:10 am
Not coming out to Australia till 2008!!! I feel like a duck shredded in a pancake.
Soaking in the Hoisin of my cries.
April 20th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Woohoo cant wait! It could be delayed 5 years and would still be worth the wait…
April 22nd, 2007 at 6:32 am
i haven’t bought a ticket (yet), but will remind daddy.
April 24th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Oooh I hope you’re coming to Brizvegas!
If you need anywhere to crash I have a mattress out back…i’ll even get rid of the red backs for you
April 26th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
When are you coming to Canada?
April 30th, 2007 at 12:56 am
hey bill its bloody fantastic to even know your coming to New Zealand when you do please come to christchurch!!! im actually off to see dylan moran at the nz comedy fest here next month…i am excitied but ive always wanted to see you live ive got “part troll” on dvd…ive seen it soo many times and its still awesomly funny!! anyway great to hear your comming our way
May 6th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Ahhh, so long as you still come, and I get tickets, it’s all ok!
May 15th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Oh well, just as long as the tour includes Hobart (Tasmania) . . .
. . . the tour is including Tasmania, right? . . .
. . . after all, Dylan Moran came to Tasmania, and so did Weird Al Yankovic . . .
. . . which was surprising, because hardly anyone significant comes down to Tasmania . . .
May 30th, 2007 at 5:25 am
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Been waiting for you to come down, just found out its been postponned! Doh! The people of Melbourne MISS YOU!!!!
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:50 am
Will this be the only comment for June! (It should as the number of comments is a logrithmic curve!)
Looking forward to catching you next year, just seen the Part Troll DVD. Excellent. Video diary was truely a British master piece of understatement! Cheers Bill.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Yay, your coming. and its great. i cant wait.
July 25th, 2007 at 8:54 am
dam =( is it to much to ask for you to come to Alice Springs when you get to Aus ?? Would be awesome if you could.
tee hee !
July 30th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Please tell me you’re coming to Adelaide though, it’s the hive of activity, i swear…
I’m looking forward to it, don’t let Adelaide down!
July 31st, 2007 at 4:18 am
I’m an English teenager living in New Zealand and I just can’t WAAAIT for you to do a show here! ‘Part Troll’ was even funnier than Peter Kay’s ‘Mum Wants a Bungalow Tour’- and that’s saying a lot!
August 6th, 2007 at 1:01 am
Hey Bill,
Fantastic that you changed to 2008 because I would have missed you in 2007.
Looking forward to seeing you when you come to Sydney.
Woo
Hoo!

August 23rd, 2007 at 6:01 am
I’m so glad to hear your coming to Australia!
Consider coming to Tasmania, it’s basically a shit hole so it’s more for our benefit than yours, you can stop us dying inside for a few hours.
You are an indcredibly talented troll-man.
*bows down*
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:30 pm
Hey Bill,
Missed the chance to see you in the UK, excellent on NMTB, particualarly the badgers! Now emigrated to Brisbane from the UK, looking forward to seeing you in 2008.
Cheers

Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:02 am
just so long as I can get tickets and maybe be part of some stunt in the show, i’ll be there!
October 14th, 2007 at 7:53 am
If you go on Spicks and Specks, go on Rockwiz too! It’s another great music quiz show and they film it in a pub in St Kilda! We all love your stuff. We have been brainwashing, I mean extolling your virtues to our friends and family.
November 5th, 2007 at 3:31 am
Any more about exactly when you will tour Australia? Last news was early 2008, but it is already November 2007 and we have not heard any more, we are keen to see you here.
November 12th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Can’t wait till you arrive.
November 13th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Is there any more news as yet as to when you’ll be touring Oz? We are getting desperate for a fix!
Angela
November 22nd, 2007 at 4:35 am
Can’t wait, since moving to New Zealand 3 years ago from the UK all we keep talking about is wouldn’t it be great if Bill Bailey comes over, I’m gutted I didn’t even hear you were coming late this year so pretty glad that I now know you will be here in 2008. Please make sure you come to wellington and put on plenty of shows for us all…you are the funniest and smartest comedian out there.
December 7th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
hmm any more news on the Australian tour yet? Am hoping you make it to Perth Western Australia.
December 14th, 2007 at 12:44 am
Hi Bill and all your fans reading this blog.
I arrived in NZ (Wellington) at the start of November and since then I have been a regular visitor to the San Fran Bathhouse comedy night (every Thursday – starts again in Jan)…but as funny as the Kiwi comics are they lack a certain wizard in a call centre style. Therefore I shall echo the others comments on here and ask that you include Wellington in your tour of NZ – I shall also ask that you do this asap in 2008 as my money is running out without securing a job down here yet (talented IT professional that I am
Can I tempt you further with a slide show of park benches I have taken around Wellington?
December 21st, 2007 at 1:01 am
so.. the Nz dates.. when when oh please reveal them.. \m/
January 3rd, 2008 at 2:12 am
Bill
Ahem, it is now officially early 2008!!
Update please – when can we see you back in Sydney?
January 8th, 2008 at 12:51 am
Can’t wait to see you in Oz, Bill. Please try to include Perth on your gig tour. Algis
February 21st, 2008 at 4:22 am
Hey Bill any news on the Australia tour for 2008 yet?
Last saw you at the Dome in Brighton, UK as part of your Part Troll tour. I’m now living in Oz.
Really hoping to get to see you again!
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:12 am
How late in early 2008 are you planning on coming?
March 4th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Please tell me you’re still coming!
March 4th, 2008 at 10:58 am
So, when does early 2008 become mid 2008? It is March now Bill, where are the NZ tour dates mate, your missing the best weather (in Wellington at least) and I cannot keep avoiding the immigration officials, wanting to deport me, for too much longer! *knock*knock* Oh darn that’s ‘em now…got to go…you saw nothin’ right!
March 18th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Hi Bill
Cant wait to see the show, just wondering where and when it will all take place.
Love Part Troll its a must see for everyone!!!!
Was gutted when I heard that I might miss the 2007 tour but restored all hope when I heard it has been postponned. WOOHOO!!!
April 9th, 2008 at 8:50 am
It is now April and I have still not seen any sign of your impending visit to NZ. Missed your last visit and desperately keen to see you LIVE. Have purchased every DVD, CD, Book, TV Programme, Movie you have been in that I could find so that I could help fund your trip!!! Will be in London from 26 October to 2 November any chance you can arrange a show especially for my visit.
April 19th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Adelaide… please. And when are the dates going to be announced? Or is this going to be eternally postponed…
April 20th, 2008 at 5:12 am
Okay, it really cannot be disputed that it is no longer early 2008, so Bill, please do not disappoint your antipodean fans, and especially those that live on the south island of NZ. My absolute worst nightmare would be for you to keep delaying and delaying past september by which time i will have left NZ temporarily heading back to the UK and therefore missing all your UK shows and Southern Hemisphere shows, in the words of a tantrumming four year old : IT’S NOT FAIR!……….
I can offer you free accommodation in a skanky backpackers in queenstown, if that will at all tempt you………..
April 24th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Hmmm, the leaves are falling off the trees, it must be April. But alas where is young Bill bailey?
Its finally cool enough to walk out in to open daylight and not be burnt to ashes! Horaaah!
Please come down to Oz , we may not have any wizards but appreciate humour! oh i made a funny.
Any who please give us the heads up on what�s happening soon enough okay?
May 7th, 2008 at 9:43 am
My family are up stairs in the middle of watching Part Troll DVD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! or it’s Black Books, and yelling to me find out when Bill will be in OZ. So when will you be here? will a free trip on our Charter boat in the sunny Whitsunday’s be enough to tempt you here. PLEASE!!!!!!!!! we need a good laugh.
May 26th, 2008 at 8:11 am
That’s 2 team champion points right there for you, Bill!! Finally, the Oz tour has been announced. Looking forward to it!!
September 4th, 2008 at 1:36 am
haha and also Aled Jones is on tour in Oz at the same time!
What happens if you turn up at the same party?
September 8th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Bill
Come to Tasmania! Please come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tassie, come to Tasseeeeeeeeeeee!
