Bill Bailey to front Eden's first Comedy Session
The Eden Project has played host to lots of music acts over the years, from Goldfrapp to the Verve. But now, the lush green venue is to focus on comedy acts, starting with a gig from surreal musician and comedian Bill Bailey.
The Eden project has admitted that it coveted the Part Troll star for some time before he finally agreed to kick off their first comedy season: "We've been trying to get Bill Bailey to kick off our Comedy Sessions for the past five years. It's a dream come true and will be well worth the wait when this great, family-friendly show comes to Eden", said Head of Events Jane Montague.
The comedy session is due to take place on 11th July, and is being billed as an 'eclectic mix of music invention and surreal imagination'. It will feature material from the recent arena tour Tinselworm.
Bill said: "I'm delighted to be playing the inaugural Comedy Session at the Eden Project. I hope this is the first of many. Let there be jokes among the Biomes."
