If prizes were dished out for best use of video screens, Bill Bailey's Tinselworm tour would win hands down. While other stand-ups worthy of oversized hangars simply project themselves onto the back wall to give the cheap seats a better view, this witty, Wittgenstein-quoting wizard, who can even look bedraggled in a designer suit, makes the visuals integral to the performance.

Some of last night's best moments appeared behind the musical maestro. As he trilled out the Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em theme a scene of carnage from Terminator 3 was re-run. Elsewhere, the Queen juggled Prince Philip's head during a jazzy rewrite of the National Anthem.

As these highlights confirm, Bailey is a veritable Jedi Knight of juxtaposition. Along the way he also imagined Elton John requesting a Versace walrus and told us of a Lionel Richie-inspired butcher's called Halal, Is It Meat You're Looking For? Some moments, such as his jaunty news theme and his doomy doorbells routine were over-familiar, but felt like welcome greatest hits remixes.

If there was a fault it was that he only intermittently hit top gear.

He consistently got close, with his rap protest against supermarket chains and his portrayal of a certain breakdown service as the spawn of Satan. This might not be Bailey's best show yet, but it is neat, enjoyable and it will probably look superb on DVD.
