Radio 4 is to broadcast Stephen Bailey: One Of Many, a stand-up special in which the comedian talks about contemplating changing his name.
The BBC explains: "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 try to work out whether you can change your whole life, just by changing your name."
The special will be recorded at The Frog And Bucket comedy club in Manchester on Tuesday 22nd March. Free tickets
