Ellie Taylor

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.”
