At just three years into the uncertain world of stand-up comedy, Kelly
Taylor is feeling pretty comfortable with his decision to give up his
mediocre career in hockey and pursue his dream. Hockey, once the only
way a small town Canadian kid could get to the big city; Taylor now sees
the possibilities of comedy taking him all the way to the Alberta border.
With the physical attributes of a high school quarterback and the comedic
commitment of Jerry Lewis, Kelly Taylor is taking the comedy world by
storm.
This summer, Kelly Taylor shocked the comedy industry by placing second
in the prestigious Just for Laughs Homegrown competition. Competing against
comics who have been in the business for ten plus years, Kelly Taylor
firmly made his mark at JFL.
His performance did not go unnoticed as creative heads from NBC Universal,
Happy Gilmore Productions and Jimmy Kimmel quickly approached with interest.
Kelly's ability to headline clubs, corporate and college events at just
three years into his budding career is evidence that this kid is the
real deal. Aside from Just for Laughs, he has already appeared at The
Vancouver and Calgary Comedy Festivals. He has opened for the likes of
Blake Clark, Eddie Brill, Rich Hall and others.
Kelly has performed all across the country and recently made his debut
in New York City at some of the most well respected clubs in the industry.
