Jordan Gray Comedy Special Heading To Channel 4
Jordan Gray’s comedy special has been picked up by Channel 4. The trans comedian, who made a name for herself when she stripped naked and played the piano with her penis on TV, will make her debut stand-up comedy special for television next month. Soho Studios and Bill and Ben will produce the one-off, Is It A Bird?, for Channel 4, spotlighting one of the brightest, award-winning talents in the British comedy game. “This silly little show has changed my life forever,” said Gray. The comedy special will be EP’d by Gray, Soho Studios’ Ian Lamarra and Laura Hill for Independent Talent Group. Lamarra added: “Jordan’s debut Is It A Bird? opened as the funniest and most important show in Edinburgh that year, it is vital that it’s now captured on film.”
