Taylor
Mason is a gifted artist with a truckload of talent and an array of foam rubber
friends who take nothing, including each other, seriously. Together the group puts on a
"one-man show" that won the Star Search Comedy "Grand Prize" of
$100,000.
It was his parents who introduced Taylor Mason to puppets when he was just nine
years old. By the time he entered college, he was proficient enough to be making money as
an entertainer. It was a football injury at the University of Illinois that gave him the
five-month rest he needed to fine-tune his craft. After that, he was in demand to open for
every touring act on campus, at the piano, in front of the mike or beside a puppet. One of
the troupes for which he opened was SECOND CITY, which he later joined as Musical
Director, writer and eventually, stand-up comic.
Taylor's combination of comedy, music and ventriloquism make him a club
and campus favorite. His "Flintstones" theme song as done by Bob Dylan,
Bruce
Springsteen and Lou Reed must be seen and heard to be believed. When his hands aren't on
the piano, they are busy musically manipulating his bizarre band of foam rubber friends,
which include Romeo, Juliet, Sumo the shy wrestler and Jose Pigg, the lawyer.
His favorite comedians are Steve Martin, Robert Klein, Jonathan Winters
and Victor Borge. There is a little bit of each of these comic geniuses in Taylor, but
somehow his delivery and intelligent style make him unique a musical master at
parody and puppetry.
