Renowned comedian Ben Bailey, also known as the “Cash Cab” guy, will take you on a joyride at The Vista Center for the Arts, 15660 N. Parkview Place.

The performance at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20 promises a hilarious journey of laughter and entertainment.

Long before he became the face of the iconic “Cash Cab,” Bailey embarked on a journey from a small town in New Jersey to the bright lights of Los Angeles, pursuing his dream of a
career in show business. Six weeks after arriving in LA, Bailey found himself on stage at The Comedy Store, marking the beginning of an illustrious career in comedy.

Returning to the East Coast, Bailey quickly became a crowd favorite at comedy clubs in New York City, eventually performing at major festivals such as Montreal, Chicago (Just for Laughs), Aspen Comedy Arts Festival, and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. By 2005, he had made appearances on Fox’s “MADtv,” “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” HBO, NBC, “Star Search,” “Last Call with Carson Daly,” and “The Late Show.”

Bailey’s claim to fame came as the host of the smash hit series “Cash Cab,” which ran from 2005 to 2012 and returned for a successful run from 2017 to 2019. Nominated four times for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host, Bailey took home the award in 2010, 2011 and 2013.

“Cash Cab” also received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show in 2008, 2009, and 2010.

Apart from “Cash Cab,” Bailey has hosted several other TV shows, including NBC’s “Who’s Still Standing,” “Best in The Business,” Discovery’s “After the Catch,” and NatGeo’s “Brain Games,” while also making appearances in various pilots.

With two specials for Comedy Central under his belt, Bailey released “Road Rage and Accidental Ornithology” in 2011 and “Ben Bailey: Live and Uncensored” in 2016. He has appeared on numerous TV shows and films, showcasing his versatile talent beyond the comedy stage.

Currently touring the country as a national headliner, Bailey invites you to experience his live performance at The Vista.
