Bill Bailey: Larks in Transit

Strictly champion Bill Bailey becomes the first British comedian to tread the hallowed boards of the Royal Opera House with a multitalented display of stand-up, music and more.

Strictly Come Dancing champion Bill Bailey becomes the first British comedian to tread the hallowed boards of the Royal Opera House in this one-hour summer special. The multitalented performer dazzles with stand-up, music and even a hilarious interpretation of an opera song. Expect to go down the rabbit hole with Google reviews of Poundland stores, a proposal for a Victorian-style Love Island and Old MacDonald Had a Farm sung in the style of Tom Waits.
