starring
PAUL F TAYLOR
The award winning Paul F Taylor is a 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 for 2013 and GQ Magazine’s comedian of the week, Paul’s persona of a lost bewildered fool sits perfectly alongside his gleefully madcap ideas.
"an enticing, dizzying prospect, who whips through a welter of daft, Harry Hill-like ideas and diversions and chucks characters around with the agility of the Pajama Men" - The Independent
"Brilliantly funny nonsense" ★★★★ - The List
“Paul F Taylor is going to rear a cult following of those with refined senses of humour, and you should join us.” ★★★★ - Three Weeks
“A slightly touched idiot capable of deceptively smart subversions of existence… Taylor evokes vivid visual imagery” - The Scotsman
"For a genuinely distinctive set, look no further than Paul F Taylor, who talks about everyday observations but with a wonderful edge of surrealism – most notably in his section comparing TV chefs to his own methods of cooking. Chuck in some strained, yet inspired, wordplay and the occasional vivid description, and you have an act that’s odd without overlooking the punchlines. He was a worthy winner" – Steve Bennett, Chortle
“An impressive knack for both observational wit and quirky flights of fancy” Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard
"The show is brilliant... Taylor's jokes are excellent." - Snipelondon.com
"A whirlwind of energy, he applies impeccable attention to detail to his beautifully crafted one liners. Paul is a superb writer and his keen eye for the absurd in everyday life creates some wickedly funny and astute observational comedy" - James Mullinger's Comedian of the Week- GQ Magazine

plus MC MARK CRAM
Winner of the 2013 Bedford Comedian of the Year Award Mark’s reputation is steadily growing on the UK comedy scene. Having performed at multiple Edinburgh festivals, worked for some of the most respected promoters in the UK and driven himself to the edge of despair; he is certainly an act to watch. Exploring topics such as work, home life, sexuality and the fact that his brother is apparently ‘better’ than he will ever be; Mark paints a picture of a young man whose life hasn’t quite worked out the way he wanted it to.
"Mark Cram’s act was a masterclass in comedy design; his story of sibling rivalry with his high-achieving military brother had an unexpected revelation dropped in halfway through, and wrapped up its threads beautifully by the end. Almost certainly pared down for the competition from a longer act, he left me wanting to know more about him and his family." - Newbury Weekly News
"Mark’s blokey style went down well as he told anecdotes about his family. His observations about his sexuality got a good response too, as he referred to himself as “heterosexually challenged” rather than “gay”." - West Sussex County Times
"A deliciously naughty night’s entertainment which included an extremely popular performance from MK’s own Mark Cram, with an equally colourful background." - Milton Keynes Citizen
