A Note from Daphne Kuhn
It is such a joy to welcome Stuart back to Theatre on the Square. We all deserve a good laugh, and I can’t wait to sit back with you and be entertained by the wonderfully laughable Stuart.
Enjoy the show!

Stuart was taught that laughter is the answer. Even when it probably shouldn’t be.
In Laughable, he turns his attention to marriage, fatherhood, getting older and the strange moment when you realise life hasn’t quite gone to plan. Part stand-up and part confession, it’s a warm, honest look at the things that test us, surprise us and, eventually, make us laugh.

Stuart Taylor has been making audiences laugh for more than two decades. A comedian, magician and television presenter, he became a familiar face as the host of Going Nowhere Slowly. Since then, he has performed solo shows and appeared at comedy festivals in South Africa and abroad. His comedy finds humour in the moments we all recognise from our own lives.
