Rachel Baker at The Glee Oxford

In a recent poll 84% of people said Rachel Baker looked like the megabus man. Unlike the megabus man though Rachel is a fresh talent on the Birmingham comedy circuit, a BBC new creative and semi-finalist of the Funny Women awards 2021 and 2022. Sometimes a character comedian, sometimes chatting about being a silly billy, she is guaranteed to make you chuckle.

Rachel Baker resides in Cotteridge, Birmingham, and works in the arts as an assistant producer. She first tried comedy while studying at the University of Birmingham, going on to perform more widely, around the region, a year ago. Citing comedy actresses such as Emma Chambers, Caroline Aherne, Meera Syal and Julie Walters as inspirations, she describes her style of comedy as “hectic in a controlled way. A bit cheeky. I like to approach each set differently as every audience and room is unique; there is always something about the audience or venue that you can have a shared laugh about.”
