Comedy: Bill Bailey - Cork Opera House
You’d imagine Bill Bailey dreams of such appreciative crowds. From the moment the Somerset-born comedian emerged onto the Opera House stage, it is clear that this is an audience eager to be tickled.
A full house of mostly 30-somethings who paid €30 for the tickets, we laugh at the funny bits, make a gallant effort for the not so funny stuff, and even forgive the dodgy Irish accents. And fair play to the audience member who points out to Bailey that the Irish Examiner he has in his hand is a national newspaper, but based outside of Dublin. “Such precise heckling!” quips the impressed comedian.
