Summary
RHLSTP #605 - Baileys Solero - Rich is back at the Podcast Room for some intimate studio chats so no rubbish stand up, just an hour or more of CHAT with the lovely (in real life) and amusingly bitchy (on stage) Stephen Bailey. They talk about writing letters to channel heads asking to be on telly, becoming a stand up, even though you’re not a fan of stand-up, the unexpected shy and academic childhood and how Stephen transformed into the confident broadcaster he is today, working on Corrie and the genius of Russell T Davis and Sally Lindsay, wearing a wedding dress on the Zoe Ball TV show, being friends with Tony Robinson and why it’s weird not to have any friends from before you were on TV and the cock and Ferrero Rocher crossover between Stephen and Richard’s acts.
