Paul Taylor : So British Ou Presque
2022 · ★ 8
Je m'appelle Paul, je suis Anglais et j'habite en France. J'ai fait un premier spectacle de stand-up intitulé "#Franglais" which was half in English and half in French. It went pretty well, so I've decided to do another show called "So British (ou presque)". It's the same concept. A show that is in both languages but with brand new jokes and stories that you've never seen before. Et si tu te poses la question: "Est-ce que je vais comprendre son anglais?", j'ai une astuce: si t'as compris cette description, c'est bon. Sinon, j'ai un pote qui peut t'aider à préparer le TOEIC. Si tu ne sais pas ce que c'est le TOEIC, là, je peux vraiment pas t'aider. If your French is good enough to understand this description, you'll bee laughing. See you on stage!

2018

Expertly keeping the Comedy Police at bay, (but falling foul of that pesky Gorilla) this mad-cap, curly haired comic executes his material with both admirable skill and silliness.

Stuart Laws Is All In
2023 · ★ 0.5
Stuart Laws ('You'll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes per minute rate... like a one-man episode of Arrested Development' Fest) acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe and tour show Stuart Laws is All In. The show sees Stuart reflect on the day his life changed forever: when he risked everything in a Las Vegas poker tournament. Is he a winner or a loser? Can he burn the candle at both ends? And has he been infected by the Willennium Bug? A show about making difficult decisions, choosing different paths and gettin' jiggy wit' it from the leftfield observationalist and intricate gag-weaver. “A deliriously fun and nonsensical hour full of tiny little treats, Stuart Laws Is All In defiantly stands proud as a show not to be taken seriously in any way, shape or form.” ★★★★ The List
