Stuart Taylor’s Learner Husband Book Launch Tour is one of the most anticipated Comedy shows in SA this year, and with good reason too. The original Learner Husband was a resounding success as many couples, new, old and everything else in between were able to relate with common relationship issues in the form of laughter.

Zalebs was fortunate enough to be invited to the Learner Husband Book Launch Tour’s opening night in Johannesburg, and it was an event we were not willing to pass up. Taking place on Women’s Day, Stuart got the crowds going with a few theatrics as he introduced himself, before embarking on a journey that would ensure that men and women never collided again.

The reason for the tour, as Stuart explained, was to promote the actual book, The Learner Husband Book, which is in major stores around the country. However, as he revealed in our interview last month, he wanted a non-traditional way to announce the book and what better trade than that which he has mastered? Comedy, of course.

The show itself was fantastic, and hilarious. There was a lot of audience interaction as Stuart sought out old, new and middle-term couples, making examples of them all. We were also encouraged to fill out a questionnaire, although we personally feel this will do more for the sponsors than it did for the actual show.

As a comic, Stuart Taylor was bright, energetic and witty, all of the traits which have helped him become a heavy weight in the South African comedy industry. He read the audience well, ensuring he fed them the jokes to which they would react the best. Relationship comedy is often a tricky art; we have to relate to it to find it funny; but we can’t have heard it all before. Stuart masterfully balances both of those expectations and delivers a show that had the audience in sticthes the whole night through.

If you enjoy laughing at the things that cause you and your spouse to bicker (Like Scatter cushions; men, you’ll know what we mean!) but want to realise that you are not alone, then Stuart Taylor’s Learner Husband Book Launch Tour show as well as the actual Learner Husband Book Guide are two pieces of comic gold that you will be sure to enjoy.
