SA’s top comedian returns to Joburg

Fresh from hosting the soldout Big 5 Comedy Show at the Teatro earlier this year, comedian Stuart Taylor, pictured, returned to the Johannesburg stage with his new one-man show Funny You Should Say That.

This stand-up comedian, entertainer and actor brings the laughs with a two-week run at the Auto & General Theatre on the Square in Sandton.

Comedy fans are in for a treat as the Cape Town bornand-bred Taylor prepares to showcase his latest stage offering – his first comedy solo in three years.

“It’s been a while since I’ve done a one-man show. So I’m really excited to be back in Joburg doing an hour of brand new material,” he said.

Taylor’s new show promises more of his hit-the-nailon-the-head comic musings that will have most laughing out loud.

“I turned 40 recently, so I guess this show is my version of a ‘midlife crisis.’ I find that my tolerance for BS has gone down with age, so this show is about me being uncensored, saying what I want to say, and hoping all find my comic musing hilarious.”

Funny You Should Say That is directed by the award-winning theatre director and comic, Rob van Vuuren, and promises to deliver all the laughs and punch-lines you would expect from this comedy merger.

“I have never played in Sandton. So this will be a first for me,” Taylor said.

The show will run until November 3.
