Don't expect Stephen Bailey to tell jokes about politics or make scathing remarks about the state the world is in.

Camp, outrageous and hilariously honest, he's happy to share his sex life - and that of his his friends - with anyone.

He brings his stand up show to Carlisle at the end of the month and says: "I just don't want to be clean.

"When I'm sat in Wetherspoons with my girlfriends and a jug of Woowoo (a cocktail of peach schnapps and vodka) we are not taking about Brexit, we're talking about sex and what happened to us.

"People are fed up of hearing about Brexit . They don't need someone's political opinion shoved down their throat.

He admits he doesn't like touring as he travels by train and regularly arrives late.

"Every train I get on breaks down. I don't drive. I can, but it's safer if I didn't, besides I wouldn't be able to drink."

Drink figures regularly in his stories. At a recent gig in Edinburgh, he walked on stage to find his usual table prop filled with six double vodkas and diet coke that had been bought by the audience.

"So I obliged and by the end of the night it was as if I'd had a night out."

Best known as host of the reality show Celebs On The Farm on 5Star, he's just finished filming Celebs on the Ranch which airs next month.

It was filmed in a small town in Arizona and Stephen says the cowboys had never experienced such camp men as him, choreographer and Louie Spence and Bobby Norris from The Only Way Is Essex.

"It was great, we were with real cowboys in this small town and they had never seen a gay man before," he explains.

"But at the end they were giving us all hugs and everyone was crying."

He promises everyday tales of life when he appears in Carlisle.

He admits the stories may not appear in everyone's life: "I just think 'what do me and my mates laugh at?' and repeat their life stories and my own.

"The reason I'm rude and inappropriate is because I think 'is this sort of thing genuinely only happening to me?' do normal people have this?"
