Taylor Mason

Taylor Masons quick wit, flawless delivery & polished material make him a hit with audiences of all ages. He is a ventriloquist, musician & stand-up comedian.

Nonetheless, he carved out a career in comedy and entertainment that has taken him around the world and into living rooms across the United States for the past 25 years. Hes appeared on a myriad of television programs, youtube videos, and other online viral videos, he has won awards, hes played Carnegie Hall, hes written a book for Penguin Publishing, and once he did a show for children at his local public library!

Having graduated from The University of Illinois with a degree in agriculture (fertile training ground for any comedian!), followed by a masters 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. Hes 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. Hes performed for countless church functions. Hes done bar mitzvahs and synagogue shows. He continues to sell out comedy clubs and is requested at college campuses. Has he done a show on a rollercoaster yet? No, but for the right price he would!

Its impossible to put Taylor Mason in a box. You cannot define his audience, because his act transcends demographics and niches. Its a throwback and yet its contemporary. Hes inclusive, hes genuinely interested in his audience and hes 100% committed to every performance, every project, and every single job he takes.

There is no way to describe what he does, because combining ventriloquism, music and comedy is unique to Taylor Mason and quite literally needs to be seen to be believed. Google Taylor Mason and view hundreds of videos, some home-made, some taken from countless television and DVD projects, that continue to add up, including Thou Shalt Laugh V.

His latest adventure is a new variety show featuring family friendly adventures of one certainly terrific star puppet named ChildrenTalk, a comically curiously natured cohost will star along with actor and ventriloquist Taylor Mason.

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 peoples differences and concentrates on getting laughs. He gives great effort every time he takes the stage.

Does it sound old school? Only if music, laughter and the shared experience of sheer joy and excitement are out-of-date. For Taylor Mason these are calling cards as a comedian, and the pillars on which he has built an outstanding, consistent and truly American career as an entertainer.
