Paul F Taylor: Sour Apes (Paul F Taylor / PBH’s Free Fringe)

By Oliver Jaques | Published on Sunday 28 August 2016

Paul F Taylor bursts onto the stage and doesn’t stop until he is wrestled off, after an amazing hour of laughs. Comics talking about the comedy industry and their position in it, as Taylor does, has the potential to become alienating. However it’s kept entirely relatable here, as we can all appreciate tales about a lack of money, or the bad decisions of our past selves. Deconstructing classic jokes, and following them on flights of fancy that always stay the right side of absurd, Taylor bounds around the stage, smiling at us as we roar with laughter. Running into the depths of nonsense with twisted logic, Taylor is a comic maverick.

Bannermans, until 28 Aug.
