DAWN BAILEY

Dawn is a forty something (ahem just turned 50) Mum who views life through happy specs and giddy knickers (her own words).

An original performer, Dawn won the XS Manchester Radio Comedian of the Year in 2016, which led to her presenting a show on the station

A likeable and affable nature, Dawn is a regular on the UK comedy circuit and performs for some of the most reputable promoters in the Country.

Dawn’s honesty regarding life and love are raw, straight to the point and comes with a no-holds-barred delivery. She is a merry maker and definitely loves to have a damn good chuckle

Pin sharp anecdotes from a life juggling a career, kids, attending weekly slimming club meetings and the joys of involuntary flatulence… she’s a very funny lady”- The BBCD

Great venue in Pontypridd District Club. All of the acts were great fun and engaging. I agree with a previous comment on straight rows. Maybe something a bit more informal?

Great night of laughter. Daniel Glyn and Chris Chopping were excellent replacements for Meryl and Andrew who were unable to attend. Phil Cooper is an excellent MC, the headliner was fantastic too. Well worth the trip there.

Great evening, great place, staff very friendly and efficient. Tables in rows? Might have been better to have had them at angles to create more atmosphere. Altogether a fab evening. Well worth it.
