NEW SHOW ALERT: One of South Africa’s most celebrated comedians, Stuart Taylor, is set to bring his brand-new stand-up show, Odd Man Out, to the Baxter Theatre early next month.
Known for his razor-sharp wit and captivating storytelling, Taylor’s latest offering promises a fresh, hilarious take on life’s peculiarities and the universal feeling of being an outsider in one’s own world.
From his teenage attempts at magic tricks gone hilariously wrong to navigating the often-chaotic world of parenting two teenage boys in his 40s, Taylor’s shows that standing out isn’t a curse - it’s pure comedy gold.
Fresh from winning the Ovation Award at the 2024 National Arts Festival in Makhanda, Odd Man Out is an uproarious, self-deprecating journey through the highs and lows of Taylor’s life as a suburban dad in his 40s.
“Odd Man Out sums up my life perfectly. I’ve always been that guy who doesn’t quite fit in - like a vegan at a braai. Whether it was fumbling through marriage in Learner Husband or untangling my identity in Techni-Coloured, I was always on the outside looking in. The twist? Turns out, everyone feels that way sometimes! So, this show salutes all of us misfits. We’re like puzzle pieces that don’t fit—except we’re still trying to squeeze into the wrong box just to feel included,” he says.
