Mzansi's finest comedians take Cape Town by storm this weekend

Odd Man Out

Stuart Taylor’s new comedy show, "Odd Man Out", explores the hilarity of never quite fitting in. Describing himself as “a vegan at a braai,” Taylor explores awkward teenage years, middle-aged misadventures and the chaos of parenting two teenage boys, all with his trademark wit.

The show reflects on life’s in-between moments, from being a magic-obsessed misfit to a suburban dad trying to keep up with gym fanatics.

To go with the show, Taylor has launched "The Learner Husband Podcast", a witty, no-filter look at life between “I do” and “What did I do?”

Joined by fellow comedians, creators, and larger-than-life guests, Taylor dives into marriage, manhood, and everything in between with the same honesty and humour fans love.

Where: The Baxter Theatre Centre.

When: Runs until Saturday, November 15, at 8pm with one show at 5pm.
