“Bean and Bailey were incredible! … a huge success.”
“An excellent blend of comedy and music. Perfect for any audience.”
Bean and Bailey is made up of Bradley Bean and Jackson Bailey. Bradley and Jackson met in 1992 at Carson-Newman College where they were both freshman living in the same dorm. Along with mutual friends, they began using their leisure time in the dorm to make humorous videos and comedy sketches. This led to official “shows” where the group of 5 guys (brilliantly named “Give Me 5”) would entertain high school students who were visiting the college.
“The show was grreeeaatt!
“you can’t go wrong with Bean and Bailey!”
A Bean and Bailey show includes a song about finding love at Wal-Mart, a lament to the atrocities of roadkill, and a song warning of the evils of spandex just to name a few. Most recently they have received warm responses to their Christmas medley (sung in and out of season), in which Jackson comes up with quite a controversial theory on the real identity of Santa. Recently audiences are also enjoying their new song highlighting the awkward silence of men’s public restrooms. Of course the consistent defining element of their show is the verbal sparring between Bean, the “straight” man and Bailey, the “cut-up.”
“loved the show.”
“They were great to work with.”
What will they come up with next? Time will tell, and from the responses they are getting from audiences everywhere, there should be plenty of time for more hilarious antics from Bean and Bailey.
