AAA STAND UP SHOWCASE - EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE - 2009
BIG VALUE SHOWCASE - EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE - 2008
Paul F Taylor is a one of a kind comedian. An instantly watchable performer with the craftsmanship more established acts could only dream of. He is known for his inventive offbeat observational humour and his playfully engaging delivery.
Nominated as GQ Magazine’s comedian of the week, Paul has a reputation of being a superb writer who gleefully combines leftfield one liners with astute observational comedy. Taylor is an original and hilarious act who always leaves audiences begging for more.
Alongside his solo standup, Paul is also half of the double act "Helm and Taylor" (with our very own Nick Helm) who reached the final of the Laughing Horse New Act Of The Year Competiton 2009.
LIVE WORK
Despite being relatively new to the circuit, Paul is already securing gigs at some of the most respected clubs in the country notching up stage time at The Comedy Store, Comedy Café, Komedia, The Frog & Bucket, The Stand and many more. He has gigged for CKP, Mirth Control and has even ventured to Munich to entertain the crowds at the English Comedy Club.
In 2009 Paul supported Lucy Porter on her tour, MC’d the Laughter Film Awards and travelled to Edinburgh to perform in AAA Stand Up with Bound & Gagged at the Pleasance.
In 2011, Paul will be travelling up to Edinburgh with two shows; Warning: May Contain Jokes at the Sin Club and Lounge and Dan Hoy's Stag Do at the Banshee Labyrinth.

PRESS
"The show is brilliant... Taylor's jokes are excellent." Snipelondon.com
"Paul F Taylor is one of the most exciting acts on the circuit and one of the few that never fails to make me laugh, no matter how many times I see him. A whirlwind of energy, he applies impeccable attention to detail to his beautifully crafted one liners. Paul is a superb writer and his keen eye for the absurd in everyday life creates some wickedly funny and astute observational comedy.Whenever I see more established acts struggling on shows such as Mock The Week I think of Paul F Taylor: his quick witted temperament and ingenious one liners would bring the house down week after week." James Mullinger's Comedian of the Week- GQ Magazine
“nicely off-beat lines” Chortle
“A dry and relaxed performance from Paul F Taylor also won over some fans - with a gag involving the French, horses and glue probably taking the title of best of the evening.” Newbury Today
“Gleeful and insistent silliness” Three Weeks
