It's ten years since Stephen Bailey did his first paid comedy spot - and it was right here in Leeds!
To celebrate, Stephen is putting on a show in the city that first took a chance on him with some of his greatest hits over the last decade and some new stuff to keep you on yours.
Since he started Stephen has appeared on everything from ‘Would I Lie To You?’, ‘Richard Osman's House of Games’, ‘Celebrity Weakest Link.’
He has appeared on and hosted ‘Live at the Apollo’ twice and currently stars in Channel 5's hit comedy drama ‘Madame Blanc’.
Money, followers, religiously forbidden relationships. Does Finlay Christie deserve everything he gets?
At 19, he became the youngest-ever winner of the prestigious ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ competition. His online sketches and stand-up have been viewed over 300 million times and his debut Edinburgh show 'OK Zoomer' was nominated for NextUp’s Best Show award.
TV includes ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’ and ‘The Stand Up Sketch Show’.

This bridge is named in honour of David Oluwale, who travelled to the UK from Nigeria and was targeted by police due to his mental health, homelessness and race.
Returning from Light Night Leeds 2023, the homeless charity Simon on the Streets have programmed the lights to reflect on the continuing plight of those suffering from and at risk of homelessness across Leeds and Bradford.
