BILL Bailey is the latest comedian to announce an Anvil date.

He’ll perform his Limboland tour in Basingstoke on Tuesday, June 7 and Wednesday, June 8, 2016.

The gap between how we imagine our lives to be and how they really are is the subject of Limboland.

With his trademark intelligence and sharp wit, he tells tales of finding himself in this halfway place.

From his countless global travels, he recounts the hilarious saga of a disastrous family trip to Norway to see the Northern Lights.

He rails against a world that doesn’t match up to our expectations and contemplates the true nature of happiness.

And no Bill Bailey show would be complete without music, so we have Bill’s version of the Protest song, a heartrending country and western ballad played on a Bible, and a fabulously downbeat version of Happy Birthday.

Tickets priced £26 go on sale from 10am tomorrow, Friday, April 24.
