JORDAN GRAY

After 10 years in the music biz (and a memorable run on The Voice), Jordan Gray has suddenly become one of the UK’s most exciting and celebrated rising comics.

Jordan has been featured on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and Comedy Central, and now – following an entirely SOLD OUT run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe – the UK’s premier transgender comedian is working on a sitcom with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
