Stuart Taylor is probably best known to South Africans as the presenter of SABC 3’s hit travel show, “Going Nowhere Slowly”. But when this Stellenbosch University science graduate is not in front of the camera with mud-powdered face and wind-styled hair, Taylor is enchanting local and international audiences with his headline, stand-up comedy and magic shows.
His award-winning formula of a meticulous fusion of comedy and magic earned him recognition as South Africa’s Comedy Magic Champion, a title he held for three years. His corporate clients include many of South Africa’s blue chip multinationals with Shell SA, De Beers, Engen, Sun International, Red Bull and Ogilvy among his endless list of tributes.
Critics describe his work as, “Classy style, laid back super professional presentation” - Cape Times, “…great observations from a new perspective” - Cape Argus, “Skreeu Snaaks!” – Die Burger, “Entertainment with a capital E” – Cape Argus
Taylor’s stand-up comedy performances have also been featured on various South African television shows, which include “Evita Live and Dangerous”, Barry Hilton’s “Funny you should say that”, “Top Billing”, “The Phat Joe show”, “Heita”, SABC 3’s “Comedy Showcase” and “Laugh Out Loud”, South Africa’s biggest ever comedy event.
He is also the South African comedy link on SKY Television for the Lion Red Sports Café, a New Zealand sports show.
