Taylor Tomlinson on Tour
Taylor Tomlinson is on her way to Australia for her very first time! Taylor exploded onto the international stage when her hour-long special, “Quarter-Life Crisis,” debuted on Netflix just as the world entered into a once-in-a-century pandemic. The special went on to be named “Best of 2020” by New York Times, Decider, Paste and earned unanimous critical praise with the Washington Post calling her “your favourite quarantine-watch” and Newsweek declaring her “undeniably hilarious.”
As seen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CONAN, Comedy Central's Adam Devine's House Party, and Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup, as well as a top-ten finish in season 9 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing.
"whip-smart and spectacularly cynical" - Mashable
Hurry, this will sell out!
Taylor Tomlinson Background
Taylor Tomlinson is one of comedy's rising stars. Born in 1993 and raised in a religious family in Temecula, California, she first caught the humor bug after taking a stand-up class with her dad in a church basement. At 16, Tomlinson then started opening gigs headlined by the teacher of that class, a Christian comedian, at churches and other venues.
At that point, her approach to humor was decidedly clean-cut. However, Tomlinson quickly found her footing in the comedy world by performing at colleges while loosening up her repertoire to include things such as dating and relationships. Tomlinson herself left college at age 20 to do comedy full-time, which led to her career taking off: She finished in the Top 10 of Season 9 of NBC's Last Comic Standing and appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan, MTV's Safe Word, and Adam Devine's House Party.
She appeared on the stand-up-geared Fox show Laughs, where she moved from being a contestant to a guest host and the sole host for the third season. In 2018, she did a 15-minute set on Netflix's The Comedy Lineup and was named one of Variety's 10 Comics to Watch that same year. In March 2020, Tomlinson's star rose even more, as she starred in her own hour-long Netflix special, Quarter-Life Crisis.
It was such a great show with new material and a wonderful opening act. Taylor is coming back in June and I am looking at going again. Totally worth it!
So I bought tickets and traveled 1700 miles to Las Vegas to see TT. Her early comedy appeals to me and I was looking forward to seeing the show. The opener was a bit brash but funny I could appreciate the humor for what it was. Taylors set was pretty dark and humorless... maybe she went a little too deep into her personal life it seemed more like a therapy session than a comedy show. Lots of people in the theater laughed and a lot of them did not; several people left mid show. We stayed to the end. I am glad I got to see her live. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long and saw her earlier in her career. On the car ride home the consensus was that we sould have saw the Awakening instead... I hope she gets herself to a better place.
We originally bought tickets to see Taylor on tour in 2023, but that show was rescheduled due to sickness, and then the rescheduled date was cancelled due to her busy schedule. We were excited to see that she was in Vegas while we were in town for a work trip… the whole show was forgettable. I understand she’s not a “clean” comedian, but the opening act (and even some of Taylor’s jokes) made way too many crude sexual “jokes”. Those are cheap jokes - not the kind of show we had hoped to see based on her previous work. We wouldn’t recommend going - I laughed harder at the comedy skit at the Cirque show.
After watching her Netflix special we were really excited to see her however it was underwhelming to say the least , seemed disjointed and not fluid left me thinking about my taxes and lawn care a few times
I saw Taylor last Saturday night and she did not disappoint! Very funny, raunchy, a little dark, but we loved it. I'll definitely see her again next time she tours!
The show was last minute for my wife and I. was a great decision to go to the show. we’ve seen her acts on YouTube and Netflix before in the past and to see her live for the first time was totally worth it, her opening act was amazing and I’m glad we had the opportunity to see them both.
By chance I Was i Las Vegas, and so was my favorit female comic, Taylor Thomlinson. I had at fantastic evening with funny jokes. Thanks 🤘🏼 The Danish visitor
The show was great. From her opener (I believe it was Alex) who was HILARIOUS to Taylor herself who was HYSTERICAL. I know this was to flesh out new material, but I had so much fun!
Still was trying to work out jokes. Not very polished, some vitriol against men. I think when she polishes it up a bit, she could be really funny like Mulaney.
More than half the show was about her religious upbringing. It started to get sad how much she hated religion, at one point competing with the audience and asking “where are all my atheists”. I myself don’t like religion, even as a Christian, and thought some of the jokes were funny, but as they went on they felt more like attacks than jokes. I just kept thinking “move on already” and many people left half way through the show. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you like to laugh at religious attacks. The guy before her was hilarious, he gets the star of the show.
