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.
