Bill Bailey: Thoughtifier

A magical, musical mystery tour of the human mind.

Event Details
Date 30 Aug 2025
Times 8pm
Location Bradford Live

A jaunt through the error-strewn, distracted, crumb-festooned, sometimes magnificent history of human thought.

Bill Bailey heads to Bradford Live, direct from a sellout West End season.

Thoughtifier
noun

1. an intriguing device that can amplify the thoughts of a curious mind using music, channelled through a human instrument, known as Bill Bailey

2. (colloquial) a person resembling Bill Bailey

At a point in our evolution when it seems as if we’re sleepwalking into a world where humans might be redundant, and much of what we do can be done better and more efficiently by machines, what better time to celebrate our own flawed humanity. And who better a guide to lead us than Bill… To take us on a jaunt through the error-strewn, distracted, crumb-festooned, sometimes magnificent history of human thought and how it might help us survive in this brave new world.

A magical, musical mystery tour of the human mind, along with some other pressing matters about whales, biophilia, unrequited love and other thoughts. Amplified With Music.

Welcome to Thoughtifier!

A unique hybrid of music, mirth and 24-carat whimsy.”
