Being a clean comedian, Taylor does not curse or get raunchy with his material.  However, he still captivates audiences from all walks of life.  From the rawest urban comedy clubs, to the most politically savvy mainstream rooms, Tommy uses a combination intelligence and gut-busting comedy that leaves the crowd in stitches.
