From stage comedy to creating two television series
Daniel Lawrence Taylor is an actor and writer whose route into comedy began during his Drama and Theatre Studies degree at Royal Holloway. In a 2020 interview with his university, he describes bringing the student comedy show Crime Comb to the Edinburgh Fringe and then forming the double act Ginger and Black with Eri Jackson. The university records his BA graduation in 2004; its account is first-person career evidence, not an invitation to infer private biography.
Taylor created, wrote and starred in Timewasters, the period-and-time-travel comedy launched in 2017. His representative’s current profile lists two series and later screen acting in Boarders as Gus, KAOS as Theseus and Isolation Stories: Mel as Kwame. It also lists earlier television credits including Uncle, Man Down and The Tracey Ullman Show. These are selected agency credits, not a complete or independently screen-checked filmography.
The same representative record documents live comedy and stage work including Ginger and Black, Crime Comb and other Fringe productions. The entries do not consistently supply years, so this page does not invent a full dated stage chronology.
