Described by British Comedy Guide as “a superstar in the making,” the new tour promises to be the comedian’s most personal yet and cements Bailey’s place as one of the UK’s best up-and-comers.

Can’t Be Bothered is Bailey’s third show to date, following his critically acclaimed 2018 debut Can’t Think Straight tour and last year’s Our Kid run.

Bailey’s stock has continued to rise since his 2018 residency at London’s Soho Theatre and run of dates supporting Katherine Ryan on her sold-out UK tour.

Many will know Stephen as host of Channel 5’s Celebs on the Farm, which recently wrapped up its second series.

Alongside presenting, Bailey has also appeared on television shows such as ITV’s Coronation Street, ITV2’s The Stand Up Sketch Show and BBC Two’s Live at the Apollo and The Apprentice: You’re Fired. 

The LGBT rights advocate also regularly contributes articles to Attitude magazine, Huffington Post and Gay Star News.
