Bill Bailey: UK comedian ahead of his eighth visit to New Zealand in new tour 'Thoughtifier' - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

UK comedian Bill Bailey is set to return to New Zealand shores- for the eighth time in his career.

His 'Thoughtifier' tour will take him to Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Queenstown, Nelson, Whanganui, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Hawke's Bay, Tauranga, Rotorua and Hamilton this November.

Bailey claims this performance will explore the flawed and complicated nature of human thought through stories and anecdotes in the time of AI.

"There's this increase in paranoia about the role that AI will play in our lives, how it's made it's way into aspects of our daily lives- perhaps as a sort of threat to our jobs and existence. It's a pushback from humanity."
