Stuart Taylor has been making waves with his Learner Husband Podcast, a hit with fans who tune in for candid, hilarious conversations about everything between “I do” and “What did I do?” Now, audiences can catch him live on stage with his latest stand-up masterpiece, Odd Man Out, this November.
Known for his razor-sharp wit and storytelling style, Taylor’s newest show takes an honest and hilarious look at what it means to be a little out of place and why being the oddball is often where the comedy lives.
“Odd Man Out sums up my life perfectly,” Taylor says. “I’ve always been that guy who doesn’t quite fit in, like a vegan at a braai. Shows like Learner Husband and Techni-Coloured tried to make sense of it, but none of us really have it figured out. That is where the magic and the comedy lives.”
In Odd Man Out, Taylor navigates awkward teenage years as a magic-obsessed misfit, middle age in a gym full of fitness fanatics, and the chaos of parenting two teenage boys, all delivered with nonstop, relatable laughs.
Fresh from winning an Ovation Award at the 2024 National Arts Festival, the show continues to earn praise. Cue (June 2025) described it as:
“A delightfully uncomfortable mirror held up to the suburban middle-aged experience, both cringe-worthy and comedy gold.”
Taylor’s comedy hits the mark every time, whether he is navigating gym culture, family holidays gone wrong, or the joys of a failing metabolism.
“This is comedy straight from real life,” he adds. “People think their awkward moments are unique, but we are all the same kind of weird. I am just the guy saying it out loud.”
