Taylor MasonHe is a ventriloquist. He is a musician. He is a stand-up comic. He is a writer. TAYLOR MASON has a lot of skills, none with any application to real life. Nonetheless, he carved out a career in comedy and show business that has taken him around the world and into living rooms across the U.S.A. for the past 25 years. He’s appeared on a myriad of television programs, he has won awards, he’s played Carnegie Hall, and he’s written a book for Penguin Publishing. Having graduated from The University of Illinois with a degree in agriculture (fertile training ground for any comedian!), followed by a master’s degree from The Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University (in advertising – he could have written beer commercials!), TAYLOR MASON has never held a “real” job. His experience as a comedy writer and performer has taken him from The Second City Theater in Chicago to headlining gigs at every major comedy club across the country. He’s as comfortable writing and executing humor for corporate clients like Microsoft and Wal-Mart as he is doing a show for teens or children on a Disney Cruise ship. He’s performed for countless church functions. He’s done bar mitzvahs and synagogue shows. He continues to sell out comedy clubs and is requested at college campuses This is not the kind of act that draws media attention or big-time television sitcom deals or lucrative movie offers. TAYLOR MASON stays out of the bedroom and out of the bathroom (which sets him apart from most comedy acts today) and concentrates on jokes and punch lines. He respects people’s differences and concentrates on getting laughs. He gives great effort every time he takes the stage.
