Doppelginger: John Bishop Endorsed Comedian Ray Bradshaw on Lookout For Lookie-Likies @ His Forthcoming Brighton Show

It's been happening for years, and he's worried about it. Either someone is cloning generic bald men or, there's a ginger bearded bald man out there who's doing a bad job of stalking Ray.  

In his brand-new show Doppelginger, Ray is going to use the latest in genetic research (the internet) to try and put an end to this once and for all. He's on a quest to find the person who looks most like him.

Doppelginger is a funny heart-warming comedy show about a silly search for a man with an orange beard who's follicly challenged.  

If you have a bald, ginger bearded friend in their 30s (true at time of writing), then bring them along. You never know – they could be The One.

Ray's last show Deaf Com One was a huge success and sold-out theatres across the world. 

The show was all about growing up with deaf parents and as a result every show of Doppelginger will have a BSL interpreter.

Ray spent 2021 and 2022 touring the UK as John Bishop's handpicked support act having described him as "one of the best comedians in the country."  

Ray said: 

"I'm really excited to be going back on tour and finding lots of doppelgingers; maybe even doing a gig to a room full of them in what must be the best-looking audience ever"
