Geoffrey Chaucer Walks Into A Pub...

Kudos to Corey's work mates for directing us towards British actor and musical stand-up comic Bill Bailey (Spaced, Hot Fuzz, The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Most of his work is highly referential - ie. without a healthy knowledge of assorted classic rock acts, and Britiphilia, it's probably not that funny. He's also a proper Brit comic, which means some bits can be arrogantly blasphemous and insulting towards Christians, so bits like "The Scale of Evil" won't be funny to anyone with a health respect for faith and philosophy.

Here are my favourites, to search for on YouTube:

Bill Bailey - Doctor Who. Absolutely brilliant, but you must be enjoy Doctor Who and speak French to properly appreciate and enjoy this one.

Bill Bailey - Pub Jokes. A pub joke told in the style of Chaucer. A right good knock to drunken lechers.

Bill Bailey - 20 Diggeridoo Rock 'n Roll Hits. This one should be fun for all.

Enjoy, and tread carefully!
