THIRD-YEAR music student Tom Taylor’s comedy empire is set to expand to York, as his first York comedy night will be held at the Best Western Monkbar Hotel on 22nd November.
The show will be headlined by Welsh comedian Lloyd Langford, described by the Guardian as “one of the sharpest comedic minds on the circuit.”
The line up is completed by Dana Alexander, and Stephen Carlin, writer on The Now Show and The News Quiz. Taylor, who is currently undertaking a dissertation on the importance of music in musical comedy, will be acting as MC for the night.
Taylor, who ran an unsuccessful satirical campaign for YUSU president last year, has been running the Sitting Room in Harrogate for the past 15 months, and is in the future looking to expand further with more comedy nights in York.
Taylor told Vision: “Sitting Room York is an opportunity to see live stand-up comedy away from the synthetic, contrived situations present in Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow etc. It’s a totally different experience to watching stand-up on television; enthralling, exciting and with a real buzz.
