Bailey is best known as the creator and host of The Oldest Profession Podcast, where every episode is a deep dive into a different 'old pro' or sex worker from history. She interviews historians, activists, and sex workers to remind listeners that sex workers have always been an important, if often overlooked, part of the story. 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. This run at the Hidden Jewel Box Theater brings this hidden often overlooked history into an appropriately hidden and easily overlooked venue.
