Talking Bill Bailley - musing on Stephen Hawking

Quite a funny routine from Bill Bailley musing over Stephen Hawking's "Brief History of Time"

i think bill bailley is a comedic superstar and a genius in the true sense of the word
in the comedy "black books" which is among the funniest series ever, himself playing the piano from inside the instrument..... well it brought tears to my eyes
he is genius

He's a very funny guy! I used to watch Black Books regularly. I think he plays piano well, IIRC.

He's been kicking around for ages.
Extremely funny - esp. on QI

Watch his "Worm saluting the sun" bit on Black Books" tho'!
Hysterical.

"Manny", what a character. I often wonder if it was written with Bill in mind. so many good scenes in Black Books. I've recently finished yet another marathon of the series. LOL

He is brilliant and a very accomplished musician. Saw his show over here a few years ago and he played about 12 different instruments ... well !
And funny to boot, real ascerbic black humour.
