Clinton Baptiste

Clinton Baptiste is the celebrated psychic and medium character brought to life by English actor, comedian, and voice artist Alex Lowe. Lowe, born on January 15, 1968, first introduced the character in Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights, where Baptiste quickly gained recognition. This early exposure on a popular television series laid the foundation for the character’s future growth and widespread appeal.

Following his initial appearances, Baptiste continued to evolve, demonstrating a notable career progression. In 2008, he reprised his role in Peter Kay’s Britain’s Got The Pop Factor… And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice, a significant television event. The character’s popularity further solidified with a return to the stage for Phoenix Nights Live at the Manchester Arena in 2015. A pivotal turning point came in 2018 with the launch of “Clinton Baptiste’s Paranormal Podcast,” a six-part series that allowed Lowe creative autonomy and significantly expanded the character’s reach into digital media. The podcast has since evolved into multiple series, featuring semi-regular guest appearances on shows like The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, enhancing the character’s visibility and fan engagement. His tours, such as “Clinton Baptiste: The Paranormalist Returns” in 2019 and “Clinton Baptiste: Rollerghoster” in 2024, consistently sell out, highlighting the enduring appeal of the character.
