Ellievision

Ellie Taylor’s bold and vibrant style of stand up comedy makes her a pleasure to watch. She has a great ability to connect with her audience, made stronger by the intimate space; Taylor welcomes her audience in and settles them down for a corker of a set.

Her material is a down to earth tale of her recent successes and failures. She covers everything from her family holiday to Norfolk to her lady-arden’s resemblance to Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster. She has a sharpness about her that underlies the routine, cutting back to prior jokes and responding to her audience swiftly and seamlessly. This makes her set snappy, relatable and downright funny.

I did feel like I had heard some of the gags from other comedians; her gag about thick yellow urine being left unflushed in the toilet of a night time, for instance, has very familiar. However Taylor’s approach and delivery takes a new, warm and charming angle that has the audience hanging on every word. The free fringe can be a gamble to say the least. Place your bets on Ellie Taylor and you won’t lose out.

Reviews by Joe Talbot

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
