PBJ Management presents Stephen Bailey: UNWRITTEN, Duffy's Bar, Dave's Comedy Festival Leicester

PBJ Management presents

Stephen Bailey: UNWRITTEN

Come party at a WORK IN PROGRESS show for Stephen Bailey’s hotly anticipated 2014 Edinburgh debut
~Have you ever been told that you live in a ‘fantasy world’… or that ‘you’re too ginger, too chubby, too camp’ – like this is a BAD thing? Great me too!
This is a refreshingly honest and open insight into where somebody has come from, their need to follow their dreams, the adversity, and their fight for THAT love.
Think Rocky meets the Wizard of Oz in this extremely relatable memoir.

**** (FOUR STARS) ‘warm and affectionate but no less biting in its wit’ – The Gay UK
‘easy to like… packed with observations’ – Broadway Baby
‘Truly Unique’ – Jane McDonald, Loose Women (ITV)

Heroes present Simon Donald - Butch Straight Poof, Dave's Comedy Festival Leicester

Heroes present



Simon Donald - Butch Straight Poof

A revealing rummage inside a head housing a three-way punch-up between machismo, heterosexuality and effeminacy. Butch - football and DIY. Straight - sexual orientation. Poof - everything else in my life. The show revolves around the list of bizarre reasons for which I have been accused of effeminacy. My sexuality is not on it. The type of tea I drink is. I finish with a song of which I am both proud and ashamed. ‘Former Viz man, as funny with a microphone in his hand as he was with a pencil’ (Guardian).
