Stephen Bailey

Comedian, presenter, actor and writer, Stephen Bailey is a fiercely proud Mancunian, working class, gay man and he's back with a brand new live show, TART.

From a working-class background in Manchester, six years working at Sainsbury’s, many a carvery and putting his hometown Denton on the map, a lot has changed for Stephen who returns to the stage following the huge success of his sold-out 2024 tour with his brand-new live show.

Described as ‘Fabulously Funny’ (The Guardian) and a ‘A rising star’ (The Sun), the star of Live at the Apollo (BBC), Would I Lie To You? (BBC) and The Madame Blanc Mysteries (Channel 5), has appeared on every light entertainment show and come second on every celebrity quiz show and in his new stand-up show will gossip about everything from his funeral plans to his unrequited love for Ben Shephard - and if he needs to pad it out, he will read you secrets direct from the girlies WhatsApp group chat. Brassy, sassy and always classy – the perfect ingredients to make a proper Tart.
