The award winning – Paul F Taylor, is one of the UK’s most exciting and distinctive stand-up performers. His unique brand of humour fuses quirky offbeat one liners with surreal observational flights of fancy to fantastical effect. Nominated as NATY New Act Of The Year and more recently GQ Magazine’s comedian of the week, Paul’s persona of a lost bewildered fool sits perfectly alongside his gleefully madcap ideas. Paul co-wrote and performed in The Claudia Winkelman Show on BBC Radio 2.
Join us for a night of comedy featuring three top acts from the UK comedy circuit, programmed in conjunction with Little Wander, the people behind the iconic Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
