Bill Bailey - Thoughtifier

With his trademark musical stylings and characteristic wit, Bill Bailey returns to Christchurch with Thoughtifier.

With his trademark musical stylings and characteristic wit, Bill takes us on a journey of thought, its history and where it’s going, and how thought might be the way humanity survives.

Because we’re sleepwalking into a world where what we can do can be done by machines, who will perform more efficiently than our error-strewn, careless, crumbs-round-the-toaster, clumsy, contradictory selves. And if that’s the case, we need to celebrate our flawed humanity… with bongos, mandolas, and general silliness.

But are we but mindless flesh machines; moral robots? And what is consciousness anyway? Can music save the world? But not in a bad way?

If you want these and other thoughts amplified with music, you need a Thoughtifier.

Hurry, these shows will sell out.

“An ability to open his mouth and spontaneously say something hysterically funny”  – The Guardian. 

“He is on irresistible form” – The Telegraph. 

“Superb stand-up”  – Time Out.
