Tune into topical (not tropical) magazine programme, The One Show, tonight - BBC1 at 7pm and you will see Bill Bailey on the little couch they have in the studio.

Just before exiting the pupa to commence the West End run of Tinselworm, Bill will be putting on two warm up shows at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London, on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November 2008.

Tickets cost £12.50 per ticket and can be purchased by calling the box office at Riverside Studios on 020 8237 1111.

Bill can be heard on Friday morning - 21 November - on the Shaun Keaveny Breakfast Show on BBC6 Music.

Word on the street is that Bill is having a whale of a time performing Tinselworm at London's Gielgud Theatre. So much so, that he's decided he'd quite like to do it for a bit longer, really.

We are pleased to announce that the Tinselworm run will be extended; past the primary gifting period and into the auxiliary generosity zone. Yes! January, as the door to the year, shall be opened in an invertebrate stylee.

So, rather than making a new year's resolution that will come to nothing (lose weight/stop smoking/reduce debt/open up a small service station franchise with an approximate five days lead-time for payment after fuel has been delivered, greatly assisting with cash flow), make it your place to come and see Tinselworm - on until 24 January 2009.

All dates from 24 December 2008 are now available and can be booked by calling the box office on 0844 482 5130 or by booking online here.

Tune in to Classic FM this Sunday at 3pm and find out about Bill's inspirations.

It has been brought to our attention that some people would quite like Bill to be the next Lord of Time.
