The goose story stands as one of the great stories told of all time. 🤣

I am lucky enough to have worked with & spent time with Bill. He is a ridiculously talented & genuinely lovely person who has ENDLESS amazing anecdotes.

[@maryrosekent8223]

I’m so happy to have been born at a time where I would have an easy way to become familiar with all sorts of people who would never have shown up on American television, and Bill Bailey is one of them. He’s funny, he’s a fabulous musician, and he’s chock full of interesting tidbits-a 21st century man-of-all-trades, as it were…

[@eleanor.shadow]

If you ever get the chance to watch a Bill Bailey stand-up show, go for it - his wit and talent make it such a fun event. My favourite jab of Bill’s at British politics: “it’s beige-mongering” 😆

[@williamwilson6499]

One of my favorite Bill Bailey moments was when he crushed Piers Morgan. Piers made a joke that was a riff on something Eddie Izzard had said but no one laughed. Piers wondered out loud why his joke went flat but Eddie’s scored and Bill said, “Well, people like Eddie”.

[@slots1407]

Excellent.

[@ThatRandomThing]

Wasn't it Ian Hislop on HIGNFY who said that to Piers, or am I misremembering

[@GimpyChinaman]

Bill Bailey is, hands-down, my favorite comedian, living or dead.

[@gabsah2466]

i died reading this.

[@dewimatthews]

I prefer him living.

[@evawilldrive]

Excellent Mandola playing!

[@evawilldrive]

👏

[@samanthawright3653]

Bill Bailey is an amazing human being, truly talented… to learn new musical instruments is extraordinary and yet he remains so humble, kind, with astonishing wit and intellect and remains a thoroughly a lovely man. Thank you Bill.

[@pierreblackstock639]

Imagine having Bill in your local pub. Few beers and a jamming sessions.

[@orangewarm1]

National treasure. Totally unique.

[@douglasernst9477]

I have been a fan of Bill Bailey’s for near 15 years. I learned of his genius from Black Books. A ridiculously hilarious British show. The man is just brilliant!

[@jan-olofharnvall8760]

The Goose story is so absurd it must be true 😂

[@sharondrost]

nobody tells him nothin'

[@Neenerella333]

My husband loves that character and quotes that all the time. I showed him Bill's recent stand up special. He didn't recognize him 🤭

Absolutely love Bill, very funny, very talented and seems a top bloke 👌🏻

[@summersun6536]

It needs a heck of a skill to make a mandola rock like this. 😀😍

[@aoibhg1211]

Love Graham and the show. Have been watching it for as long as I can remember. Thank you Graham you are awesome!!! And Bill Bailey is one of my favourites of all time, the way he "speaks"| with instruments is incredible. He is one in a million, saw him live, he is amazing and love everything he does. Thank you for this

[@KonaMark1]

“Are you alright”? 🤣

[@johnfitzgerald1769]

The only moment I can think of that’s not in this compilation was when Bill was on the show with Stephen Fry and they read out tweets on twitter & I hope Miriam Margoyles gets one of these compilations soon

[@jacquelinedavis6607]

To have all of them there at the same time would be epic

[@johnj.fitzpatrick7148]

Magical story teller. Thanks Bill

[@debralegg5632]

I am so happy seeing episodes with Mr. Bailey 🤗

[@djmallinson]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Bill is super talented and funny; he owned Strictly and is a hell of a musician and storyteller. It may be said his appearance belies the incredible hidden depths. What a guy!!

[@paulgilbert1939]

Bill is a god of music and comedy and he is the best of the best and should never be forgotten..

[@GGoAwayy]

What makes me laugh about the "Bill Bailey dead" story is that QI posted a video at about the same time as this video with a similar pose of Bailey as the thumbnail. Seeing the two right next to each other had me worried and I googled to make sure he didn't just die before watching them in case these were in tribute.

[@enbygilbert]

I really love how that photo makes him look like Sam Kinison. I never would have thought of that otherwise. It has to be the expression.

[@loraineriddell7157]

What an entertainer 👏👏👏. Love him.

[@linmonash1244]

Bill is a mega-talented STAR!

The Bill Bailey who died in Kentucky was my step-grandfather.

[@enbygilbert]

So sorry about your loss. That must have been a little surreal. Were you aware of the other article at the time?

[@TammieDillard]

@@enbygilbert I wasn't aware of it at the time but my mom was told me a few years ago when we were doing our family history

[@Teresa-ih4sn]

What national treasure he is!

[@readMEinkbooks]

A mandola is my new favourite stringed instrument.

[@ElectricCelt56]

Nice video collection. Decent musician. Great stories.

[@gutz323]

I would love to have 1/10 of Bill Bailey's skill, when it comes to playing musical instruments. He is what is known as 'pitch perfect!' A natural skill, that only occurs with 1 in 10,000 people, and it is a natural ability, and not something you can learn.

[@thefifthmoggyjennings6097]

That hairline really has receded in recent years, but I do love his commitment to having long hair 😂

[@johnbrady8059]

Should get Bill and Bob Mortimer together on planet BillBob. It would be an interstellar experience

[@eeescanyo]

a genius!

And why did this compilation include Denzel talking about Flight? A weird interlude.

Bills story reminded me of the Valerie Harper and ?Tom Petty? hoax deaths before they actually died.

[@maikeweige1548]

[@superamario6464]

I see a lot of social media posts proclaiming this person or that person must be protected. Utter nonsense. It's only applicable to Bill Bailey. The man is unique and a national treasure. There is no other comedian as good as him on observational comedy apart from Billy Connolly and he only plays the Banjo! Bill ..Bill Bailey? He does the lot. Banjo, lute, thermin, xylophone, didgeridoo.. an absolutlely supremely talented human being.
