Comedian Ellie Taylor has announced a 20 date autumn UK tour for her new show is This Guy. The tour follows a run at the Edinburgh Fringe where Taylor performs at the Pleasance Courtyard from August 2 -27.
Now married and in her 30s, Taylor has overcome the surprise of being in a dreadfully happy marriage only for society to test her with a new question - whether or not she wants to breed. If she had been given a pound every time she’s been asked ‘Are you going to have a baby?’ she could have bought a really expensive baby.
So Taylor has questions - how do you know if you're ready to be a parent? Should you just take the risk regardless? And she wonders, what if she does have a baby and her career stalls, or her marriage breaks down or more terrifying of all, the kid has a monobrow?
Following the success of her 2016 Fringe show, Infidelliety, Taylor toured the UK and had two runs at London’s Soho Theatre. Her credits include BBC’s Live At The Apollo, Lets Sing and Dance for Comic Relief, Mock the Week, The John Bishop Show and The Now Show (BBC Radio 4) as well as a lead role in the new series of Disney’s television programme The Lodge and Comedy Central’s Brotherhood. Taylor is also part of the cast of a new BBC 2 topical show hosted by Nish Kumar airing from July.
