Bisoubye x

Tu connais* Paul Taylor? If so, you may have been lucky enough to catch the Paris-based British comedian in Brisbane last month. He was in town touring his third bilingual show, ‘Bisoubye x’, following on from the success of his previous offerings, ‘#FRANGLAIS’ and ‘So British Ou Presque’.

Known for his good-natured (and potty-mouthed) skewering of French culture, including the head-scratching politics around (language warning!) La Bise, Taylor conducts his comedy shows in a mix of French and English. And he’s loved by francophone and English-speaking audiences alike.  

If you’re unfamiliar with his work, this Frenchly article gives a good synopsis. Or, encore mieux*, our own office manager Fiona Berrocal, whom many of you know and love, interviewed the man himself recently on radio 4EB as part of L’Heure Francophone. Take a listen here from 40:20 mins.

If you’re now kicking yourself that you missed out, you have two options. The first is to jump on un vol* and catch him in France from October (or at one of his other international shows), and the second is to watch his previous shows from the comfort of your home*. Then make sure tu es prêt* when the next tour is announced. Nous serons!

* Definitely not suitable for work
