(Stuart Taylor)
From the comedy
clubs of New York City and performances across Europe, to his award-winning,
sold-out shows at home in South Africa, Stuart Taylor’s interrogation of the
human condition has always earned him critical acclaim. BeSpoke takes his trade-mark conversational style to new heights.
“This is a back to basics comedy show inspired by my comedy club roots,” says
Stuart Taylor. “It’s a no-holds-barred, unapologetic stand-up comedy
experience.”
With BeSpoke, the Cape Town’s star
entertainer’s unprecedented ninth one-man show, Taylor also explores the
concept of labels, the importance we place on them, how we label each other and
what they might mean to his two young sons when they are old enough – all
shared in his inimitable, hilarious style. So give the tummy muscles a serious
work out! With Stuart Taylor’s BeSpoke,
it promises a great night out.
Taylor is one of
South Africa’s most loved comedians and has kept audiences laughing with his
shows such as Techni-Coloured (winner
of Overall Best Comedy award at the 2008 National Arts Festival); Money’s Too Tight to Mention and Learner Husband, with which he also
launched a book. He is also a popular TV presenter, having survived numerous
near-death experiences in four seasons of
Going Nowhere Slowly. He is a three time winner of South Africa’s Comedy
Magic Champion and has cast his spell to mesmerise audiences from theatres and
comedy clubs to boardrooms across the country.
He has performed at
the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Berlin International Comedy Festival and in
December 2013 at the Switzerland International Comedy Festival. He is delighted
to be back at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre with his first new solo stand-up
comedy show in three years.
