BBC Radio 4 - Stand-Up Specials, Stephen Bailey: One of Many

Stand-up special from the Mancunian comedian with a common name.

Stephen Bailey wants to change his name, as he believes it to be hindering his success. A stand-up special about identity and what's in a name.

Stephen Bailey is a lightweight boxer who lost a fight to Conor McGregor, he's an investor with £84 million in the bank, he's Axel Rose's stepfather and if you keep scrolling, he's also a comedian from Manchester.

Stephen is seriously contemplating changing his name in 2022, as he believes being Stephen Bailey is hindering his success - after all, a name change is one of the oldest tricks in showbiz. If the name maketh the man, it's made a lot of Stephen Baileys and the rest of them are always doing something more newsworthy than our Stephen.

This is a bespoke stand-up special about identity, where Stephen will work out whether you can change your whole life, just by changing your name.
