Biography & Career:
Paul Taylor is a British stand-up comedian and humoriste best known for blending languages and cultures into a smart, fast-paced style of comedy. Born in Chelmsford, England, he moved to Paris in 2009 and quickly found success performing bilingual routines that connected with both French and international audiences. A cultural perspective drawn from British roots and years in France defines much of the material. As a British comedian, Paul Taylor often highlights the oddities of French life with a cheeky outsider’s charm.
The first major spectacle, #Franglais, ran from 2016 to 2019 and became a breakout hit, establishing Paul Taylor as a favorite in the French stand-up scene. He followed it with So British (ou presque) and later Bisoubye x, all of which played to packed houses. Each show blended languages, regional accents, and sharp observations on everyday life, making Taylor a unique voice in European comedy.
Paul Taylor also became known for work in TV, creating humorous series for Canal+ such as What The Fuck France?, What’s Up France?, and Stereotrip. These programs expanded reach beyond the stage and brought his comedian movies and TV shows to new international audiences. Alongside this on-screen work, a strong presence on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram helped grow a global fanbase that now follows both online and in person.
The current tour includes stops across France, the UK, and North America, with recent upcoming events announced in California, Seattle, and other major cities. Whether it’s a bilingual comedy show or fully English-language routine, performances continue to gain praise for clever structure and multicultural energy.
In personal life, Paul Taylor lives in Paris with his wife Adeline, whom he married in 2017. They have kids — a daughter named Louise — and enjoy a family life that often finds its way into Taylor’s routines. He also has a brother, Kyle Taylor, who plays professional football. Despite growing success, Paul Taylor remains grounded in observational humor and everyday absurdities that resonate across cultures.
