An award-winning comedian who is the first trans woman to be nominated for an Edinburgh Comedy Award is bringing her first ever live tour to Bristol. Jordan Gray is also the first trans person to headline the iconic London Palladium with her solo show and is also widely known for her memorable performance on Channel 4's revival of Friday Night Live in 2022 where she stripped naked.
Although relatively new to comedy, Gray has already made a huge impact on the scene since 2017 having worked in the music business ten years prior as well as appearing on The Voice UK in 2016. She went on to launch a successful web series called Transaction that has since been acquired for television development by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
She was catapulted to fame in 2022 through her performance on Friday Night Live of a snippet from her smash hit show Is It A Bird? that details her experiences as a transgender woman. On the TV show, she stripped off all of her clothes and received praise for her bravery, bringing trans bodies a level of visibility rarely represented in the mainstream media.
