You may recognize Bill Bailey from the hilarious comedy Black Books in which he played Manny.

In this comedy video, he shows he can hold his own on the comedy stage as he introduces you to the finer technical points behind cockney music introductions.

When I first realized that yes, it was ‘the guy from Black Books’ I was worried about being disappointed with his comedy styling. What made him hilarious in Black Books was more focused on his relationship and interactions with Bernard.

However, Bill has shown he is quite funny on his own. He even has done something that I love comedians to do, and that’s incorporate music into his comedy.
