Mat Taylor’s Box of Broken Jokes

Comedian Mat Taylor writes hundreds of jokes every year, but what happens to the rejects? They get thrown in his Box of Broken Jokes!

Join Mat as he digs deep into his Box of Broken Jokes and help him decide whether any of them deserve rescuing from oblivion. Could they be rehabilitated with a change of wording? Or are they just fundamentally unfunny? And if they’re unfunny, WHY are they unfunny?

(Rest assured, he’ll also sprinkle the show with reliably solid gags to show he does actually know how jokes are supposed to work.)

A hilarious insight into the intricacies of comedy writing and the fine line between provoking a belly laugh or a deathly silence.

“(Mat Taylor is) one of the best joke writers on the circuit” – Eric Rushton (Channel 4 Sean Lock Award winner)
