Ainsley Bailey

Who Ainsley Bailey is

Ainsley Bailey is a Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian who grew up in Plano, Texas, moved to Los Angeles to act and then turned to stand-up, performing at clubs including the Improv and the Comedy Store. She was named a New Face of Comedy at Montreal's Just for Laughs festival in 2026 and made her debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that August. Her act, whimsical and a little dark, takes on the trio of rare chronic illnesses behind her on-stage tremors.
