Artist Profile
Paul F Taylor
SEMI-FINALIST LAUGHING HORSE NEW ACT 2008
Paul F Taylor is one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit. A whirlwind of energy with the craftsmanship some more established acts could only dream of. Paul is a superb writer and his keen eye for the absurd in everyday life creates some wickedly funny and astute observational comedy.
With a quick wit, cheeky smile and intense delivery Taylor has audiences begging for more.
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.
This year, Paul can be seen supporting Lucy Porter with her latest show 'Fool's Gold' and will be heading to the Edinburgh festival again.

PRESS
"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 asMock 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
