Who Helen Bauer is
Helen Bauer is a UK stand-up comedian, writer and actor who discovered stand-up in Berlin and honed her act in Germany before bringing it back to Britain. Her debut show was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2019 Edinburgh Comedy Awards, transferred to London's Soho Theatre in February 2020 and was filmed by 800 Pound Gorilla as a special for YouTube, and her album Little Miss Baby Angel Face followed on 800 Pound Gorilla Records in 2023; she has since written and toured two more shows in Edinburgh, at Soho Theatre, in Australia and around Europe.
Her television appearances include Live at the Apollo, Stand Up for Live Comedy, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Hey Tracey, Hypothetical and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled; she wrote and starred in the BBC short Small Doses and has acted in Am I Being Unreasonable? and Disney's Extraordinary. She hosts the weekly podcast Helen's Log and co-hosted Trusty Hogs with Catherine Bohart, and her track Just a Me Thing was played on SiriusXM's Raw Dog Comedy channel in September 2023.
