About Kaytlin Bailey: 

Kaytlin Bailey is stand up comic, sex worker rights advocate and writer. She founded Old Pros to create the conditions to change the status of sex workers in society.

Her second one woman show, Whore’s Eye View is in development. She started The Oldest Profession Podcast in 2017. In 2018 she accepted a position as the founding Director of Communications for a national advocacy organization fighting to decriminalize sex work. After two years talking to legislators it became clear that we are not going to get good laws on this issue until we change the story.  In 2020 Bailey founded Old Pros where she continues her stubborn crusade against whorephobia.
