Our Kid on tour as ‘comic gossip’ Stephen heads for Atkinson
STAND-UP comic Stephen Bailey is back on tour with his new show, Our Kid – a story full of Northern warmth, some working-class guilt and a bit of blue.
The past year has proved an exciting period for Stephen.
In the past six months he has embarked on his first critically acclaimed UK tour, performed a season at the Soho Theatre in London and supported Katherine Ryan on her recent sold-out UK outing.
His friendly brand of gossipy humour has made him one of Britain’s most exciting up-and-coming acts in comedy.
His recent and varied TV work includes him becoming the resident agony uncle on ITV1’s Zoe Ball on Sunday, and appearances on Five’s Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit on the Side and Comedy Central’s Live at The Comedy Store, adding to his extensive catalogue of TV and radio work.
Recently, he was the host of the reality show, Celebs on The Farm, on 5star.
His other notable TV appearances include regular appearances on 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 also guest-hosted the Sunday Takeover on Virgin Radio, the Breakfast show on GAYDIO, been featured on The Arts Show with Jon-athan 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, which made him the ideal choice to host the Stonewall 25th Anniversary Party last year.
Stephen brings his tour to The Atkinson, Southport, on Friday, February 22 at 7.30pm.
