  • If you ever get a chance to meet a hero, DON'T do what Bill Bailey did.
    Black Books star and Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey recalls the time he had an opportunity to meet The Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney after a concert. Despite planning exactly what to say, he ends up poking him in the eye.

    Bill Bailey: Limboland - Limboland is a place where we find the gaps in life. From a fantastically downbeat version of Happy Birthday - via a hilarious tale of a disastrous family trip to see the Northern Lights - to a heart-rending country and western ballad on the nature of love, Bill explores our expectations of happiness with his trademark wit and musicality.

      I met William Shatner at a Star Trek convention in Santa Rosa in the 90's... I had the biggest crush on him when I was a kid. I thought I was over it until I got to shake his hand... and this was after seeing what a full of himself ham he was on stage. I felt disillusioned when it was my turn to talk to him... but I still was almost mute and try as he might, he couldn't get much more than furtive glances and very shy words from me that I hope made sense... I kinda blanked out during the whole thing... Despite being calm and normal when I met Nichelle Nichols and James Doohan at a past Star Trek convention. So, yeah... You're right... meeting your idols is a bad idea. Lol.

    @Hrosrasac Před 3 lety +5

    I was literally in tears. It must surely be the case that Sir Paul faces this breakdown of composure on a regular basis! I know I experienced pretty much the same level of motor-control loss when I met him and Ringo when they unexpectedly walked into the hospital room (together with Linda and Barbara) where my friend and I were sitting on his daughter's hospital bed sharing a fat doobie, and engaged us in friendly and inquisitive banter!

    @ryoko65 Před 3 lety +16

    Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard....
    I saw Paul McCartney in concert on my birthday in 2005... I had a seat really close to the stage. My friend that came with me laughed at me because just before the concert started, I got such a bad case of Beatlemania.... I managed to calm down some just as Sir Paul took the stage. At one point in the concert, Paul asked whose birthday it was today.... he asked us to stand up... I think it was about 7 of us, including myself. Each of us got a present from him... A silver cuff bracelet with his signature etched in to the inside of the bracelet... And he sang the Beatles birthday song to us.... I went back to being a crazy fangirl for awhile.... I think my friend laughed the whole way home... Lol. It was pretty great that Sir Paul gave a concert for my birthday.... but he mad me pay for it anyway... Lol 😉
    Bill Bailey is absolutely one of the funniest comedians today. 😺

    This is painfully relatable.
    A few years ago I met Paul Meany and Darren King of my favourite band, Mute Math, at a concert in Bristol. No eye poking but I was so totally starstruck and awkward that I still wake up at 3:00am sometimes and ruminate over it. The worst part is that they were so kind and sweet that I felt like a total weirdo by comparison. On the plus side I was the one who asked Paul if Darren was still around to sign my LP, and he stuck around to sign some other people's stuff too. I console myself with this.

I will never be ashed to say that I'm proud to have this mans stand up and teachings as a major role model growing up as a child. He may be a funny haha man but he's so incredibly intelligent and talented. He's truly inspiring even if he doesn't mean to be.
