Familiar to audiences for Big Brother's Bit on the Side, he is making noise on the comedy circuit by being fun, charming and sassy. A skilled improviser, Stephen is 'annoyingly sharp' (The New Current) and can currently be seen supporting Katherine Ryan on her UK tour, where NO topic is off the table - all done with 'fantastic natural wit and charisma' (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine). His infamous gossips are 'warm and affectionate yet no less biting in its wit' (The Gay UK), which made him perfect choice to be first ever MC at Stonewall's Summer Party.

Autumn 2015, has also seen Stephen conquer his fear of flying as he took his award-nominated show Stephen Bailey: Should've Been a Popstar on a mini-tour to Europe, where he sold out.
