Everyone’s favourite ‘guilty pleasure’ (Daily Record), stand-up comedy star and host of Five’s ‘Celebs On The Farm’, Stephen Bailey is embarking on a brand new tour in spring 2019 with his incredible show ‘Our Kid’ – a story full of Northern warmth, some working-class guilt and a bit of blue.
Following a sold-out month at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2018, Stephen is hitting the road between February and April 2019 armed with his super sharp wit and side-splitting stories about his roots and finding out who he is! Tickets for ‘Our Kid’ are on sale now from www.stephenbaileycomedy.co.uk.
2018 has been a very exciting year for Stephen. Since January he has toured the UK with his first critically acclaimed tour ‘Can’t Think Straight’, performed three nights at the prestigious Soho Theatre in London plus supported Katherine Ryan on her recent sold-out UK tour. His friendly brand of gossipy humour has made him one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming acts in comedy at the moment.
Stephen’s winning comedy and charming personality have propelled him to starring in a number of varied TV projects. Most recently, Stephen made his presenting debut as host of 5star’s newest reality show ‘Celebs On The Farm’ which delighted audiences when it aired in summer 2018. Stephen can currently be seen in Channel 5’s recent series ‘Celebrity 5 Go Camping’ which began on Friday 4th January . He was also the resident agony uncle on ITV1’s ‘Zoe Ball On Saturday & Sunday’ throughout 2018.
Adding to his extensive back catalogue of TV and radio work, Stephen has also made appearances on BBC Two’s ‘The Apprentice: You’re Fired’, Channel 5’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’, Comedy Central’s ‘Live at The Comedy Store’ and ‘Roast Battle’, ITV2’s ‘Safeword’, ‘CelebAbility’ and ITV’s Weekend with Aled Jones. He has also starred on ITV2’s ‘The Great Xmas Rant’, ITVBe’s ‘Kate’s Wardrobe Secrets’, W’s ‘Celebrity Advice Bureau’ & Channel 5’s ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’.
Stephen has was nominated for Best Newcomer in 2018’s I Talk Telly Awards for his role on ‘Celebs On The Farm’.
Stephen has also guest-hosted the Sunday Takeover on Virgin Radio, the Breakfast show on GAYDIO, been featured on The Arts Show with Jonathan Ross on BBC Radio 2 and was named one of Attitude Magazine’s Top 100 Bachelors of the Year in 2017. As a vocal supporter of LGBT rights, Stephen regularly contributes articles to Attitude magazine, Huff Post UK and Gay Star News.
