Before he got behind the wheel of The Cash Cab, Ben Bailey began his career as a Stand Up comedian. As a young man, Bailey left his home (a small town in New Jersey) and headed to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of a career in show business. Just a few weeks later, he found himself onstage at The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip and quickly became a crowd favorite at the clubs in New York City. He has since performed at all the major festivals, including Montreal and Chicago (Just For Laughs), the (hallowed & former) Aspen Comedy Arts Festival, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and at clubs and theatres around the world.

” Bailey drove the smash-hit series (still on in syndication around the world) for over 400 episodes, and he and the show won 6 Daytime Emmy Awards. Bailey can currently be seen hosting segments on NatGeo’s “Brain Games” and has a new show in the works with A&E, as well as commercial campaigns for DTE Energy, Nature Valley nut bars, and Aldi Supermarkets. Bailey tours as a national headliner; you can see him live at a theatre or comedy club in your area and in his latest stand up special, released in 2015.
