So British: Paul Taylor at the Comedy Club

Inspiration

Paul Taylor is coming to the Comedy Club on November 19: the French better watch out!

The Englishman who loves to poke fun at the French—and who has made our little quirks his favorite source of humor—is coming to the Comedy Club at the Nouvelles Galeries in Annecy. Get ready to laugh at yourselves!

Do you kiss everyone on the cheek, complain while waiting in line, and have very strong opinions about the best way to do things? Paul Taylor probably already has a joke about that.

A British comedian who has lived in France since 2009, Paul Taylor has carved out a prominent place for himself in the stand-up comedy scene thanks to his offbeat take on French customs. His specialty? Observing our little quirks, our contradictions, and our cultural differences so he can poke fun at them. And, along the way, he doesn’t spare himself either.

An Englishman who speaks French… and isn’t afraid to speak his mind

Paul Taylor first made a name for himself on stage with #FRANGLAIS, his first bilingual show, which premiered in 2016. It’s a delightful blend of French and English, inspired by his daily life as an expatriate and the sometimes absurd situations that arise when two cultures collide.

Next came *So British (or Almost) * and *Bisoubye*—three shows that established his style: fast-paced humor, a healthy dose of self-deprecation, and that special talent for making us laugh at things we don’t even notice anymore.

But Paul Taylor isn’t just limited to the skateboard. With his “What The Fuck France” videos, which air on Canal+, he captures the quirks of French life and is attracting an ever-growing audience on social media. The result: hundreds of millions of views and more than 1.5 million followers across his various platforms.

What's on the agenda: some tongue-in-cheek humor and a few hard truths

With Paul Taylor, cultural differences become a wonderful excuse to laugh together. Social norms, untranslatable expressions, everyday habits… it’s all there, with that slight twist that makes us see our own country in a new light.

And that’s undoubtedly where the secret lies: behind the clichés and punchlines, an amused look at our ways of life, our quirks, and our little sources of national pride.

So, whether you’re a stand-up fan, a lover of British humor, or simply curious to discover the comedian who dares to say out loud what the French keep to themselves, the Nouvelles Galeries Comedy Club promises plenty of laughs.

One thing is certain: after this evening, you may never look at the "bise" the same way again.

Reserve your spot!
