Bill Bailey Performing at The Royal Variety Performance 2021

[@sebastiangray1196]

opening his Royal Variety set with a bit about Poundland is such a power move i love it

[@khymaaren]

Reality check for a bunch of them, I bet.

I've had the pleasure of seeing him perform several years ago, fantastic evening that was!

[@alanhindle3149]

My ex-girlfriend went to drama school with Bailey. He apparently dropped out after a year, feeling it wasn't doing him any good. Normally I would say, "Stay in school, kids!" But, in Bailey's case, I don't feel like it was the wrong decision. Always brilliant.

[@IndySidhu88]

Some try those schools to determine it's not for them. It's at least good to try even if you don't complete it or feel happy about it.

[@elisabethpearl9790]

I reckon he would have been bored senseless at any school....... what an imagination

[@t.least.he.is.honest]

Bill, is a briiliant man, entertainer, but I feel if he wire cool stetson hats etc, he really would be the coolest guy ever
