With Taylor’s style being aptly described as classy, laid back and enigmatic, ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention,’ explores the crazy ups and downs on the roller-coaster ride of aspiration. In his light hearted, infectious style Taylor comes to grip with our current financial crisis, the drive to keep up with the new Joneses and shares some humorous inspiring tips on how to get through the rough patch.
“If you’ve ever thought, ‘I can’t believe how broke I am,’ this show is for you. If you ever opened your bond account and thought, ‘I can’t believe I owe someone this much money,’ this show is for you. If lately you’ve had to give up luxuries like naked sushi and replace it with a can of pilchards on your wife’s tummy, this show is certainly for you!” adds Taylor.

“As we all look at our budgets with a closer focus in the closing months of 2011, I trust that ‘MTTTM’ as part of the comedic art will both educate, amuse and entertain us to an even higher level of audience enthusiasm," added Samuels.

STUART TAYLOR
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 shows.
Taylor’s delightful potion of enigmatic entertainment has mesmerised audiences from theatres to boardrooms across South Africa, performing for many of the country’s top companies.
Taylor’s uncanny ability to cast spells of unbridled laughter on virtually any audience, earned him the adoration of critics and fans for his performances at the Pleasace Dome at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Berlin International Comedy Festival and his sold-out 1-man comedy theatre productions throughout South Africa.
His most recent theatre production “Learner Husband” has played to critical acclaim across the country from the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town to the Market Theatre in Johannesburg as well as successful runs at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown and at Montecasino’s main theatre. His new show has built on the success of his previous 1-man show “Techni-Coloured” which had scooped some amazing reviews and awards, winning the prestigious Overall Best Comedy award at the National Arts Festival and the Show Time award for the best solo performance.
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 Made for Laughs” - The Star.
“Be warned, you will not leave the theatre the same way that you entered… you will be hurting of all the laughing” - Citizen Metro.
