The Oldest Profession, the acclaimed podcast hosted by Kaytlin Bailey is coming to the stage. February 1st, join the comedian, sex worker rights advocate, and host for a one-night only stop at LanaLou’s Restaurant in Vancouver’s Eastside.
Blending stand-up comedy, storytelling, and meticulously researched history, The Oldest Profession expands on Bailey’s critically praised work reclaiming sex worker narratives and challenging cultural myths around labor, power, and morality. The tour’s sold-out shows around the West Coast point to the growing demand for Bailey’s sharp, unapologetic voice, one that has resonated with audiences across comedy, activism, and academia.
Appearing on NPR, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times speaking on issues related to free speech, bodily autonomy, and digital censorship. Bailey’s work sits at the intersection of comedy and social commentary, positioning her as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary stand-up.
Best known as the creator and host of The Oldest Profession Podcast, Bailey interviews historians, activists, and sex workers to explore the overlooked history of the world’s oldest profession. The live show transforms that material into an engaging, comedic theatrical experience, equal parts hilarious, educational, and provocative.
The Oldest Profession has been praised for its accessibility and rigor, inviting audiences into conversations often relegated to the margins while maintaining Bailey’s signature wit and crowd-connection. Following Vancouver, the 2026 tour continues on to New York, Brooklyn, Boston and more major U.S. cities with further dates and venues still to be announced.
With a nightcap burlesque performance by Vancouver’s Miss Cherry OnTop, Kaytlin Bailey’s The Oldest Profession comes to Vancouver for one-night only, February 1, 2026 at 7pm at LanaLou’s Restaurant, 362 Powell Street. Find show details and tickets on eventbrite.com
