Ellie Taylor kickstarted her comedy career in her late 20s, performing in standup reality TV series Show Me The Funny. “I got some other television work out of that and a few bookings,” recalls Ellie, “but people’s expectations outweighed what I was able to provide. I wasn’t really good enough at that stage.”

Now in her early 40s, Ellie’s comedy has come a long way. Part of the secret of her success, she believes, is ‘the way she tells ’em’. “I enjoy doing comedy with a narrative. A lot of standup shows have absolutely no narrative whatsoever, but a beginning, middle and end is very important to me.”
