the phrase 'national treasure' gets thrown about alot, but Bill Bailey truly is and always will be.

[@seanp6990]

I totally agree the mans a legend!

[@karenpeatey6226]

I love him

[@LPKelly380]

Well said. Now say it in Dutch. 😂😂

[@KrisAdamsTV]

Yea for goodness sakes King Charles. You have been to a million of his Royal Variety shows, knight the man, please! ✌

[@thetessellater9163]

Of course. He has more talent than some others !

[@ElGordo1959]

So much talent - dancer, actor, singer, musician, comedian, ornithologist, husband, father, all round good bloke and human being 🙃

[@99Plastics]

"husband, father" forgot breathes well and walks in a straight line too lol

[@casbot71]

I believe he's also a son.

[@jakobthelibrarycard6261]

@@casbot71 I can also confirm that he definitely is a human being. Actually I can't confirm it, but I'm pretty certain.

Aye, genuinely, naturally funny. Whereas Woss......

Plus a 2:2 in performing arts and a City&Guilds in Falconry

[@jurrianvanParreeren]

as a dutchie I have to say his pronounciation of "dat is de vraag!" was spot on

[@baoboumusic]

Add to this that he speaks Spanish, Bahasa Indonesian and Japanese (at the very least) and I'm definitely impressed! Oh, and Cockney, of course.

[@user-fx6or3ci2z]

The 'dat' wasn't quite right, but all the rest was perfect. Kudos to him -- it's not an easy accent for non-Dutchies.

As impressions go... I don't know the dutch guy personally... But Bill Bailey's impression of a Dutch dude doing an impression of an Englishman is spot on! 😂 So good!

[@xymonau2468]

Bill Bailey is just a born entertainer.

[@brianmorrison6863]

Holy crap! Bill Bailey is one of the most powerful performers on earth.

[@neilbowers6956]

Absolute legend! I saw him live in 2018 and my sides were in pain at the end of it. I haven't heard so many people laugh as much as the people who were in the that theatre that day. One of only a few people who are 100% pitch perfect when it comes to music.

[@MultiMolly21]

Ya gotta love that man. He never fails to delight. The gift that keeps on giving.

[@paulEmotionalaudio]

Harmonising on alpine cowbells. Now that’s talent!

[@stephenspillane6079]

Proves that comedy does not have to be rude and crass, and expletive filled to be funny

[@silasfatchett7380]

[@johngarnham5772]

A home grown proper entertainer. Wonderfully talented. Brilliant!

[@FishFreddy]

We Dutch people know our language sounds weird. The most beautiful reference I have heard. It's like someone speaking German with a hot potato in their mouth.

[@dustbunnieboo]

Bill Bailey is the best. Love his humor and talent with music.

[@buckrogers5331]

Bill Bailey is the guy I want to live forever. So good. He and Tim Minchin.

Only act i ever watch on ytube. Cannot get enough of him. Genius.

[@Electronicwaffle]

I am US based. I have had enough exposure of Bill Bailey [Namely "Black Books"] and Qi that I recognized the name, and had to see the full video. This is amazing. I'm not sure it's humanly possible to do anything else in under 15 minutes. If anyone could I think Bill would be on that short list to attempt. This was great, and I find it to be a perfect "Capsule" of who Bill is. It has the bonus of being something I can easily share with my friends over here, and the jokes still work. Then we get Tequila as Ragtime, and Auld Lang Syne as well?!

[@acchaladka]

Christ, Bill, when will you bring your show to Canada already? I'm stuck watching Jimmy Carr twice this year in Montreal...we need you at Just For Laughs man.

[@rogerdogger6969]

OMG as he was coming out I was thinking wow he sure seems to be standing up straight and dancing and moving a lot, and then that's what he opens with is the acknowledgment of it and explains why that's just crazy but it was so obvious that it was the first thing in my head when he was coming out I was like why is he looking so spray?

[@Abhothra]

"Zijn of niet zijn dat is de vraagggggggggggg" Seems about right, we Dutch take the sledgehamer approach to pronunciation and then there's our music. (We should've given the village it stems from back to the sea ages ago)

[@gerdforster883]

Before you give that village back to the sea, you first have to evict the german tourists entrenched on its beach. Good luck with that, we take our sand castles seriously.

[@drlessismore]

Fair…..😮

[@MarliesJansen]

Dutch person here. Bill Bailey is quite right about Dutch not sounding very agreeable. As a friend from abroad once observed: Dutch is not a language, it's a throat disease. ;)
