Comedy show ‘all about owning oddball status’

Staff Reporter|Published 2 months ago

From his teenage attempts at magic tricks gone hilariously wrong to navigating the often-chaotic world of parenting two teenage boys in his 40s, Stuart Taylor shows that standing out isn't a curse.

Stuart Taylor is set to bring his new stand-up show, Odd Man Out, to the Baxter theatre from Tuesday March 4 to Saturday March 8.

His latest offering promises a fresh take on life’s peculiarities and the universal feeling of being an outsider in one’s own world.

“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.”

Whether it’s his tales of disastrous family holidays, navigating the world of technology as a 40-something, or the funny side of ageing, Odd Man Out offers an honest, entertaining, and unfiltered look at life.

“It's all about owning that oddball status,” says Taylor.

Tickets cost from R180 through Webtickets. There is an age restriction of PG13.
