A few days ago, when the gatherings were limited to 1000 people, he arrived on stage with a protective mask and a Corona beer in his hand saying: "Fortunately I am not that famous! "
But with the new limit of 100 people announced Friday March 13, 2020 by Edouard Philippe, the humorist Paul Taylor had no choice but to postpone the dates of his tour during his show "So British or almost" : Nantes, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nice, Strasbourg… and perhaps others.
We can continue to make people laugh via social networks
"It's more annoying for the public than for me, relativizes the British humorist, whose production has already found new niches for most dates. Yes, we are going to lose money, but it is nothing in terms of people's health. And he does not plan to be unemployed either. Already because the nursery of his eight-month-old daughter will be closed from Monday. And because he has to respond personally to the many spectators who question him about postponing the dates. "It's okay, at my level, it's manageable, I'm not Gad Elmaleh or Kev Adams!" He laughs.
The coming days promise to be full. “We comedians can work jokes at home, write, explains Paul. We can even continue to make the public laugh by posting videos on social networks. " It also calls for putting things into perspective. "It would be inappropriate to complain," he insists. Yes, the middle of the show is strongly affected, but everyone is. In truth, it is only money! Besides, there are people who are sick or who work in overcrowded hospitals. "
Measures too restrictive for some, not enough for others: these debates make him smile. "The French do not already agree on whether to say chocolatine or pain au chocolat, so on a subject like that, it is impossible for them to agree!" Says the actor.
