Every comedian on earth prays for something like this. She pulled every bit of gold out of this encounter. The funniest part was her being so flummoxed she couldn't frame a question. "So, what...who...how...?" Brilliant.
"The trick with crowd work is to ask questions they can answer quickly and I dont have any of those" "I have so many questions and almost none of them are appropriate" She didnt just luck out, she made it better
This is like a Master Class in how to do crowd work. Establish a rapport with the audience so you're all in it together. Ask short questions. Repeat back what they said. Focus on unusual answers but connect it to relatable reactions. End on a positive. She even explains how to do it as she goes along. And the result is hilarious. Just brilliant.
This was brilliant? Haha if this is brilliant crowd work then what is Big Jay Oakerson or Patrice O Neal? The crowd really helped here by reacting in a grandiose way to the peoples story even when there was no jokes being said.
Exactly was I was thinking! She just has a great feeling for timing. That's key in telling the simplest joke, but she reads the audience and just does it perfectly.
god it really is. my biggest regret in HS is not trying to be more social instead of hiding in the computer lab at lunch. no one tells you that school is basically the best time to make relationships and make mistakes because you have such a predictable pool of people you're forced to interact with every day.
Frankly, meeting your SO in HS is a big gamble. Usually, you only stay together out of convenience and not because you're really compatible. Because let's face it, you develop so much after high school that compatibilities just straight up change. Also, especially because you have that predictable pool of people makes mistakes even worse. Just like no sane person would ever date colleagues because if it goes awry, it'll mess a lot of stuff up and you can't escape, school is even worse in that regard.
Reminds me of how my great-uncle lived longer than his wife, then when she died, he married his sister-in-law who was also a widow. He famously said "Well I've had the same in-laws for 4 decades, I don't want to go and find new in-laws."
I love the look she has when she hears he dated her twin sister first. She stands there stunned for a moment then puts the water bottle on the ground and gets comfortable. You know she's gonna milk this conversation for every laugh she can.
Honestly, being an identical twin was great for dating. We have very different interests and personalities. So if someone was going after both of us, we knew they only cared about looks. Only took me two relationships and him 3 to find the right person. We both married women who wouldn't date our brother.
If someone is interested in both of you after just meeting you that’s one thing, but if they know both of you they could be interested for different reasons. I’m friends with twins and I enjoy their company for different reasons
Right I can’t imagine marrying anyone my identical twin sister liked let alone date. I got asked out by my sisters first boyfriend (13ish) at 18 and I have zero idea how he thought I would say yes.
On the other hand, if you are an identical twin and someone finds you physically attractive, that means your twin will most likely also be seen as physically attractive. That said, physical attraction only gets you so far. Having compatible personalities is what leads to a long-term relationship.
@@spanishprisoner Actually kind of average looking, not alot of money or anything like that either. It's just that having a twin helped me figure out why people liked me. That was the point of my comment.
In my family tree there is a pair of twins that married a pair of twins, all identical. Family reunions were a miserable event when they both brought their families. One couple had 6 kids, the other had 7 kids. Between them there were 3 sets of twins. I just gave up trying to figure out who was who. I could write it down on paper who went where in the family tree, but there was zero translation from the family tree to picking them out of a lineup and saying who was who, especially when you only saw them once a year for two days.
Jesus, you should have a Steve Martin movie. Growing up my mom told me how her side had two brothers who married two sisters, like Becky and Darlene on Roseanne, it took me a few years to understand how it worked and that's nothing compared to this shit show, I'd lose track too.
"Is your sister like........... alive??" 😆😆 The BEST line!! That long pause of her running through her mind thinking of what possible reason her sister could be ok with this!
Now I'm ready to hear Taylor perform a complete special like this; totally improvised! "Quarter-life Crisis" was extremely funny, but the look on her face with the newfound knowledge of the twin-dating was priceless!! This was the funniest thing I've ever seen. She is AWESOME!!
My one thing was Quarter Life crisis was for a good 20-25 minutes it felt like the crowd was kinda against her, but she fucking NAILED a joke and instantly she found her stride and the special was great.
I can’t remember if it was a live show I saw or a clip, but the couple was 4 years apart, with the older something like 26, who had been together for 6 years. You can imagine how it went.
My mom knows a set of identical twins that stayed physically identical in every way as adults and had the same career as elementary school teachers in the same school. Their only outward difference was Twin A (let's call her Anna) was married for years, so she wore wedding ring, and Twin B (let's call her Belle) stayed single. Anna's husband divorced her and married Belle shortly after. Someone with me when I heard the story said "Imagine knowing your husband left you only because of your personality." Husband didn't come off as a prize but it's still got to sting.
My childhood friends mom has a twin sister. They have almost identical names, like one or two letter difference, they look identical, dress identical, have the same job at the same hospital and do the same things. They are literally the same person.
This is WONDERFUL!!! All improvised so you’re living off you’re quick wit. I love it. Even the “shshsh” was hilarious. One of the best lines was “like …. Well…. How …..?” Leaving whole screeds of talk unsaid.
I get the impression she's doing a natural reaction (it would certainly be how I'd react), only she has the self-possession to slow her reaction down so the audience can follow along and she can let the laughs roll.
Just to bring it home for some of us, 46 years ago was 1977. Not the 50s, or even the 60s. It was the year Star Wars came out. I feel so old. And thanks, Taylor, for such great videos! Cheers.
Okay, this was hands down one of the best bits I've seen recently. Most times I'd assume that anything this funny was a setup but this really does seem like her genuine reaction.
To show you how rarely these gems come along, please search ~lube rack Paula Poundstone~, This makes her one of the corners on the comedy "crowd working" triangle. the other two are Mitch Hedberg and Henny Youngman.
She has a talent few others have. She not only has a very expressive face, she knows how to get the most out of it. She's brilliant and quick to find the humor and exploit it verbally but her facial expressions are simply amazing and add SO much to building and expanding a joke. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous and has a compelling voice. She's delightful.
This might be piling on: my mom was one of four sisters. My dad dated all four. His brother married one of them, then my father finally got serious about my mother. The sisters stayed close their entire lives. I have never seen a family picture that contains both my father and his brother after those marriages.
@@gergelykoppany2235 Actually, no. In a somewhat rural town 30 miles from Detroit. But this was in the years immediately after WW II. Healthy, single men were a rare commodity.
Why no dad/brother pics? If the sisters remained close was there some rift between the men? Or were they just hardscrabble rural types that didn't have time to sit for photos?
@@JustinPogue The issues I can identify were alcoholism in one brother: PTSD in the other: the extended family fighting over money: general dishonesty of my uncle. The sister thing was just incidental to all the rest of the family issues.
I just saw this for the first time. First I think you are hysterical. Secondly, I'm an identical twin. In college I dated this guy that I wasn't really into or attracted to. My sister thought he was really cute, and dated him for 4 years. That said, we have obviously different tastes in men! Your performance was spectacular
She's handsdown my favourtie female comic. So naturally funny and the crowd work here is amazing as well. Props to the those two audience members too for having such a crazy life lol doesn't happen often.
I don't really follow stand-up a lot, so she is not only my favorite female comedian, but also the only female comedian I actually find funny. Will check out who Mr. Carguy mentioned though.
I'm thinking that, when Ms. Tomlinson first heard the "dated her sister" info, she was thinking "what great luck that these folks walk into my set and tell me this. This is good for a half hour..."
My mother was in college and had started dating the guy that would become her husband ( my father ) and met another nice guy - so she introduced him to her twin sister, who eventually married the nice guy. Couldn't be happier with their choices!
Removes her water bottle from the seat, slides onto the seat with her eyes locked on this couple like they could disappear any moment. Proceeds to sit at the very edge of said seat. I don't know if all of the physical comedy was intentional, but it was hilarious.
That really is a golden bit of crowd work. If you're a stand up and you have 5 minutes you need to kill, good crowd work will soak up at least 4 of them. The difficulty is establishing a certain repartee with the audience member... You have to keep control of the interaction, avoid offending them but keep them just embarrassed enough to keep trying to explain, and keep the rest of the audience involved. Taylor does all of that in a really cute [appearance] and professional [technique] way.
You are hands down my favorite comic that I have found during this Covid lock down! Thank you for adding some much needed laughter to the last two years. Can’t wait to see you live.
Totally related to this. I met my wife when we were 12. We started dating when we were 15. We got married after college, 23 years ago. I didn't date her sister though. THAT would have been a nightmare. I definitely picked the right sister!

I watched the TikTok first. I wasn't satisfied that those were all your questions. This video is very satisfying! Thank you for asking the questions we all wanted to know! We appreciate your efforts!
Shows the brilliance of Taylor as a comedian. Went away from her regular planned out act to a unplanned interaction with a patron. Turned out hilarious. Taylor has a brilliant quick mind.
I think she was just being a girl. Emotion is the magic that makes a woman fascinating. I never understood how my wife knew things about me that I had not realized myself. I once asked her if she was truly happy with one of the first cars with a digital dash. She said, the car is not important, I bought it because it says ‘good bye’ when I shut off the engine. Being alone becomes loneliness when that type of reasoning is gone from a man’s house.
that was INCREDIBLE. that crowd was just eating out of Taylor's hand. Do we have the rest of this show? I don't care about the so-so audio. it seems to have been an amazing night.
I've seen her live once... she actually didn't do much crowdwork and performed an hour of completely new and incredible material. She's so brilliant and tireless.
Sometimes comedians just change things up, they have a bunch of material that they wrote and could use, but if opportunities like these pop up, they are more than happy to use it to their advantage.
I love how Taylor, (if she genuinely found out about this “on the fly”), basically seems to have written an entire set in a snap. If this was improv-ed, then she’s bloody good. If it wasn’t, she’s still a really funny comedian.
I refuse to believe this was scripted. In a lot of her acts you can see how rehearsed her lines and “reactions” are (albeit still delivered brilliantly) and here it was just pure reaction that still went smoothly
Taylor is so freakin’ good in this clip! I think those early years working in the “Christian comedy community” (a term I just made up, since I’d never heard of it before Taylor) served her well with audience interactions like this one. She even made a reference to technique by saying the key was asking questions with relatively short potential answers-of which she could think of NONE.🤣
As some one who thinks they are funny, I found this to be brilliant, just so well done. Everything from moving your water, so you can sit and lean in, the half started questions, the aside to the rest of the crowd, all of it.
I recently saw TT in a special, and I was impressed with how far she has come. I saw her once when she was doing like college-age material. But, now, she's really top-notch. I believe she'll be a big star soon. And, I hope that Netflix gives her a special. In my opinion, she's almost ready for that. Honestly, I'd even pay to see her at a Ticketmaster Event. She's that good now.
@@CultsBCultin Does she? I didn't know. I remember her from college-age comedy, and I thought she was "up and coming" back then. She's top-notch talent now.
Ok, just checked your home page. POST MORE. Please & thanks. It's hard to find comedy that hits that balance of funny and just crude & you are doing it very well.
I dated twins one after the other, when the first one decided to move on, she told me to ask her twin out, and after a couple months of that the second twin was done with me I dated their younger sister. I guess they just thought I was a fun date and wanted to share me around. I didn't end up staying with any of them long term, but they were all fun to date.
I have five brothers, none of us are twins. One of them dated a girl for a while in high school, then they broke up, and then she dated one of my other brothers. The whole family was pretty good-natured about it. There were jokes about which of us she'd date next and such. But, there was no "next", as she ended up marrying the second one.
@@PaperbackWizard So it's not really "the whole family" being "pretty good-natured" about it then, is it? Nobody even bothered to ask how the first brother feels about it lmaooo
Mowing Your Lawn. They've been mowin each others sisters lawn 😂😂😂😂 Patterns of Bevaiour. You've had me crackin up from the what, who... ??? Classic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Lots of Love from Down Under here in Australia 💙
Taylor Tomlinson is not only funny, she’s a consummate professional at work. An amateur would talk just to the person and repeat it back, forgetting the crowd to dig for the flecks of gold, but she interacts with them. How she holds herself when she hears the bombshell is a joke, and the WHOLE CROWD is listening to the “ooooo, this is gonna be good” she is saying with her movements. She isn’t saying just what she wants, but also playing it up because THAT is what the crowd wants too. She’s… “mindful” of the fact that she has to have some boundaries, but she’s giving voice to the crowd in saying that all of the questions are inappropriate. She’s almost like a heckler, but rather than be against the comedy, she’s amping it up. It’s amazing, and this should be shown to other comedians for a how to guide.
Straight up, in my family, twin brothers and twin sisters, both sets unrelated, married and had their own sets of twins. Ironically, both of my direct grandmothers are twins as well.
I dated my brother's wife for 6months. We broke up, they started going out. They've been married 41yrs. I married her best friend, we've been married 39yrs
My uncles are identical twins and once played a prank on one of their girlfriends by switching places for a date and seeing if she would notice. She did, but it took a solid half hour.
I knew a family where two brothers married two sisters. I don't know what the dating situation was before they married, but they seemed to get along well enough so I'm guessing nothing like this.
This is just amazing, especially when you realise she can't see shit up there, so that faux eye contact is also part of the act. Calm, controlled, and hilarious. 😂👏👏😂👏👏
Taylor has to be one of the best I've seen at this brand of crowd work. Definitely will be keeping an eye out for tickets to her London tour dates next year. Sadly the website says sold out currently but I shall be keeping my eyes on it.
At first, I thought he was dating both twin sisters at the same time, but then they cleared that up... "Oh, that makes so much more sense, no way two twins would agree to dating the same guy at the same time, this isn't a romcom xD" And then they mentioned his dad..........
I haven't seen all her work but this has to be one of Taylor's 10 best moments. Her physical behavior, her acting, her sushing the laughing audience, her willingness to pause (a tough skill to master when you're on stage, or so I'm told) her admissions about crowd work. She is not an excellent female comedian; she is an excellent comedian.
I love how Taylor is super respectful and makes people laugh. She is becoming my favorite female comedian. Finally I have found one that I consistently like of my gender! Yay!
When I saw a clip of this I started fear sweating because for one horrified second I really thought that was my parents up there. But thankfully the stories don't add up! After all, my dad dated my aunt in COLLEGE before dating my mother, and they're IDENTICAL twins. :')
Probably from a small town with relatively limited options. So, people are much more comfortable with the idea of dating someone who dated someone close to them. I know my ex-wife told me she and another friend dated another friend's husband before the friend did. They had a graduating class of about 60. And I remember it coming up that her dad had dated her mom's brother's wife, prior to dating then marrying her mom.
Girl, 46 years ago (48 years, now) was in the heart of the swinging 70's! You don't WANT to know what they did in 1976! 😂 have you seen Boogie Nights??! 💀 You're thinking 1940's with the malt shop thing. 1970's was sex, drugs & rock n roll, baby! And twins were a very popular kink. If you think men are creepy now, allow me introduce you to the 70's. Men now say "hold my beer." Men in the 70's said: "hold my Spanish Fly." 👀🙅♀️

I love rewatching this every now and again. Taylor is great with crowd work. It is the only thing missing from her comedy specials.
You could tell the moment that she realized that comedy gold was dropped in her lap.
Removes her water bottle from the seat, slides onto the seat with her eyes locked on this couple like they could disappear any moment. Proceeds to sit at the very edge of said seat.
I don't know if all of the physical comedy was intentional, but it was hilarious.
That really is a golden bit of crowd work.
If you're a stand up and you have 5 minutes you need to kill, good crowd work will soak up at least 4 of them. The difficulty is establishing a certain repartee with the audience member... You have to keep control of the interaction, avoid offending them but keep them just embarrassed enough to keep trying to explain, and keep the rest of the audience involved.
Taylor does all of that in a really cute [appearance] and professional [technique] way.
I wish there was more of her work on UA-cam. I’ve watched all that I can find a few times already. I think she’s brilliant!
She has a TikTok account with super funny videos too
1:51 "How do you even... How...? How." I just can't, that delivery is pure gold :D
You are hands down my favorite comic that I have found during this Covid lock down! Thank you for adding some much needed laughter to the last two years. Can’t wait to see you live.
Who needs material before getting on the stage when the crowd can provide such great stuff to work with! Bravo Taylor!
This puts the saying ‘Sharing is caring’ to a WHOLE other level
"how is this not a movie starring Steve Martin?" lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A great set -- entirely improvise. She should become a talk show host!
The part where she is slowly clearing off the stool to sit down and listen was perfect! What a great performance
Taylor is absolutely brilliant with crowd work. This is a gift. Amazing.
This woman was forged by the universe to be a standup comedy god.
or she worked at it.

These are so great to find because it doesn’t keep popping up in multiple shows. Un-rehearsed spontaneous and so real.
her face when she registers "you dated her twin sister" is just everything to me "this is a gift!"
She was like “Jackpot!!”
Totally related to this. I met my wife when we were 12. We started dating when we were 15. We got married after college, 23 years ago.
I didn't date her sister though. THAT would have been a nightmare. I definitely picked the right sister!
Aww 🥰
That is so ob obnoxiously wholesome. Damn you, Wholesome Man.
How did you "relate" to this if the very thing they're talking about, dating a sister, doesn't apply to you at all?

I watched the TikTok first. I wasn't satisfied that those were all your questions. This video is very satisfying! Thank you for asking the questions we all wanted to know! We appreciate your efforts!
Shows the brilliance of Taylor as a comedian. Went away from her regular planned out act to a unplanned interaction with a patron. Turned out hilarious. Taylor has a brilliant quick mind.
I think she was just being a girl.
Emotion is the magic that makes a woman fascinating. I never understood how my wife knew things about me that I had not realized myself. I once asked her if she was truly happy with one of the first cars with a digital dash. She said, the car is not important, I bought it because it says ‘good bye’ when I shut off the engine. Being alone becomes loneliness when that type of reasoning is gone from a man’s house.
that was INCREDIBLE. that crowd was just eating out of Taylor's hand. Do we have the rest of this show? I don't care about the so-so audio. it seems to have been an amazing night.
Incredible? This is why comedy is dying. People think this is great.
@@DerekOfRivia if you are dead inside, we can’t help you.
@@Xplora213 She's still unfunny.
@@DerekOfRivia comedy is dying because people think they're too good for it tbh.
@@DerekOfRivia nobody forces you to watch her. Just watch someone else
I'm betting that she had real material when she stepped out on the stage. She didn't NEED most of it...but she had it.
I've seen her live once... she actually didn't do much crowdwork and performed an hour of completely new and incredible material. She's so brilliant and tireless.
Sometimes comedians just change things up, they have a bunch of material that they wrote and could use, but if opportunities like these pop up, they are more than happy to use it to their advantage.
She is so natural funny, would like the opportunity to see her live. Awesome work.
I love how Taylor, (if she genuinely found out about this “on the fly”), basically seems to have written an entire set in a snap. If this was improv-ed, then she’s bloody good. If it wasn’t, she’s still a really funny comedian.
Went to one of her shows earlier this year, it's deff improved
It's just crowd work, not all comedians can do it but she is fantastic at it. Hope to see her live sometime
I refuse to believe this was scripted. In a lot of her acts you can see how rehearsed her lines and “reactions” are (albeit still delivered brilliantly) and here it was just pure reaction that still went smoothly
@@LunaBell08 I will defer to your experience. I’d be happier in a world where this was a spur-of-the-moment thing, so that’s where I’m staying.
The term is "improvised"
Taylor is so freakin’ good in this clip! I think those early years working in the “Christian comedy community” (a term I just made up, since I’d never heard of it before Taylor) served her well with audience interactions like this one. She even made a reference to technique by saying the key was asking questions with relatively short potential answers-of which she could think of NONE.🤣
I keep watching this again and again. I think it's her best clip.
"How do you even?.. How?... How!?" 😂😂 They broke Taylor. 😅
As some one who thinks they are funny, I found this to be brilliant, just so well done. Everything from moving your water, so you can sit and lean in, the half started questions, the aside to the rest of the crowd, all of it.
"see you at Thanksgiving" was the perfect wrap. Brilliant.
I recently saw TT in a special, and I was impressed with how far she has come. I saw her once when she was doing like college-age material. But, now, she's really top-notch. I believe she'll be a big star soon. And, I hope that Netflix gives her a special. In my opinion, she's almost ready for that. Honestly, I'd even pay to see her at a Ticketmaster Event. She's that good now.
Doesn’t she have like two Netflix specials!? 😂
@@CultsBCultin Does she? I didn't know. I remember her from college-age comedy, and I thought she was "up and coming" back then. She's top-notch talent now.
@@PoeLemic ‘Quarter-Life Crisis’ has been out on Netflix for a while
The second one is dropping very soon. I saw the thumbnail on Netflix.
I have to add, I just watched it. 😀 And, was not disappointed.
Ok, just checked your home page. POST MORE. Please & thanks. It's hard to find comedy that hits that balance of funny and just crude & you are doing it very well.
I dated twins one after the other, when the first one decided to move on, she told me to ask her twin out, and after a couple months of that the second twin was done with me I dated their younger sister. I guess they just thought I was a fun date and wanted to share me around. I didn't end up staying with any of them long term, but they were all fun to date.
Taylor you are the best comedian! And I enjoy a good comedy. So that's not an easily given title.
What I really love about her comedy is her confidence. She never uhs or ums or any other audible nervous pauses waiting for laughter!
When the comedian RUNNING the show has to sit down for it, you know it's gonna be good.
I have five brothers, none of us are twins. One of them dated a girl for a while in high school, then they broke up, and then she dated one of my other brothers. The whole family was pretty good-natured about it. There were jokes about which of us she'd date next and such. But, there was no "next", as she ended up marrying the second one.
Sort of sounds like you might have an incredible family and she was like, “These are my people” 😊
Did anybody ask the first brother if he was cool with it?
@@jonirischx8925 I have zero idea.
@@PaperbackWizard So it's not really "the whole family" being "pretty good-natured" about it then, is it? Nobody even bothered to ask how the first brother feels about it lmaooo
@@jonirischx8925 I'm saying, if anyone asked him, I wasn't there for that conversation.
Her timing and ability to connect to the audience is amazing she is such a brilliant comic.
"That is so weird." Sums this story, perfectly! Quite possibly my favorite clip of hers! 🤣🤣🤣
0:38
The face you make when The Comedy Gods hand you one of the best crowd work scenarios in the history of Comedy.
Mowing Your Lawn. They've been mowin each others sisters lawn 😂😂😂😂
Patterns of Bevaiour. You've had me crackin up from the what, who... ??? Classic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lots of Love from Down Under here in Australia 💙
2:43 that fourth wall break was so perfect, it made it even funnier and also sold it pretty well that she didn't know how to handle it.
This is so good. I've never seen you do crowd work before. I need to go see you live.
Is your name Wormbo?
As much as I like your scripted performances, this is even better. Your shushing the audience, your reactions to the couples questions….
I LMAO!
Taylor Tomlinson is not only funny, she’s a consummate professional at work. An amateur would talk just to the person and repeat it back, forgetting the crowd to dig for the flecks of gold, but she interacts with them. How she holds herself when she hears the bombshell is a joke, and the WHOLE CROWD is listening to the “ooooo, this is gonna be good” she is saying with her movements. She isn’t saying just what she wants, but also playing it up because THAT is what the crowd wants too. She’s… “mindful” of the fact that she has to have some boundaries, but she’s giving voice to the crowd in saying that all of the questions are inappropriate. She’s almost like a heckler, but rather than be against the comedy, she’s amping it up. It’s amazing, and this should be shown to other comedians for a how to guide.
This woman is awesome. I love her style of comedy. I hope she’s enjoying her job.
This is still my all time favorite clip of yours Taylor. The shock, and slow reach to sit down is the best. 😅
a good audience interaction for you Ms. Tomlinson. Well Played.
Straight up, in my family, twin brothers and twin sisters, both sets unrelated, married and had their own sets of twins. Ironically, both of my direct grandmothers are twins as well.
I dated my brother's wife for 6months. We broke up, they started going out. They've been
married 41yrs. I married her best friend, we've been married 39yrs
My uncles are identical twins and once played a prank on one of their girlfriends by switching places for a date and seeing if she would notice. She did, but it took a solid half hour.
I think I come back and watch this at least once a month if not once every couple of weeks because it's just so insanely funny.
She's so good at this stuff, asking the funniest questions without making anyone feel bad
I knew a family where two brothers married two sisters. I don't know what the dating situation was before they married, but they seemed to get along well enough so I'm guessing nothing like this.
You heard about my great-grandfather and my great-grand uncle?
She seems so effortlessly charismatic
Dude tomlinson is doing hella great... Keep posting the funny audience interaction
I love how she got on the stool like "my god this'll be a long one, tell me everything!"
This is just amazing, especially when you realise she can't see shit up there, so that faux eye contact is also part of the act. Calm, controlled, and hilarious. 😂👏👏😂👏👏
Come to Australia!
@@trudyandgeorge yes please come to Australia
Taylor has to be one of the best I've seen at this brand of crowd work. Definitely will be keeping an eye out for tickets to her London tour dates next year. Sadly the website says sold out currently but I shall be keeping my eyes on it.
I love Taylor. So glad to see she's getting more exposure.
At first, I thought he was dating both twin sisters at the same time, but then they cleared that up...
"Oh, that makes so much more sense, no way two twins would agree to dating the same guy at the same time, this isn't a romcom xD"
And then they mentioned his dad..........
Taylor’s reactions to this crazy story had me dying of laughter 😂😂😂
I haven't seen all her work but this has to be one of Taylor's 10 best moments. Her physical behavior, her acting, her sushing the laughing audience, her willingness to pause (a tough skill to master when you're on stage, or so I'm told) her admissions about crowd work. She is not an excellent female comedian; she is an excellent comedian.
I love how Taylor is super respectful and makes people laugh. She is becoming my favorite female comedian. Finally I have found one that I consistently like of my gender! Yay!
Check out Cal Wilson and Aditi Mittal😊
What about Maria Bamford, Margaret Cho, or Sarah Silverman?
"How is this not a movie starring Steve Martin??" Lol!!
lmao "See you at Thanksgiving" How about couple days a week. My ex is my wives BFF.... can relate.
Taylor, you are excellent at your craft and destined for great things.
She’s amazing! And that was a comedy gold mine right there! 😄
She is special beyond all measure, Cheers Taylor, Hugs from Montana. XX
0:59 I love that serious-faced "shh!"
Awesome adlib!!!!
This is why I say Taylor is absolutely brilliant!!!!!! And still perfect timing on the fly!!!!
Bravo 👏👏👏👏
When I saw a clip of this I started fear sweating because for one horrified second I really thought that was my parents up there. But thankfully the stories don't add up! After all, my dad dated my aunt in COLLEGE before dating my mother, and they're IDENTICAL twins. :')
Truly amazing luck finding these folks in the audience! Really sad I missed you when you came through Dallas! Please come back soon!
Probably from a small town with relatively limited options. So, people are much more comfortable with the idea of dating someone who dated someone close to them. I know my ex-wife told me she and another friend dated another friend's husband before the friend did. They had a graduating class of about 60. And I remember it coming up that her dad had dated her mom's brother's wife, prior to dating then marrying her mom.
Love how she repeated what she said out of habit but stopped at mid sentence as she understood what that woman said "he datED-?! O.O"
Girl, 46 years ago (48 years, now) was in the heart of the swinging 70's! You don't WANT to know what they did in 1976! 😂 have you seen Boogie Nights??! 💀 You're thinking 1940's with the malt shop thing. 1970's was sex, drugs & rock n roll, baby! And twins were a very popular kink. If you think men are creepy now, allow me introduce you to the 70's. Men now say "hold my beer." Men in the 70's said: "hold my Spanish Fly." 👀🙅♀️
Bringing the crowd into the show and doing it right is such a tricky thing to do. She pulls it off perfectly
