About
Taylor Moorey is a stand-up comedian, writer, musician, and filmmaker. He swears to god he is all of those things.
Originally from Richmond, B.C., he currently lives in Montreal with his PlayStation 5. George Carlin’s special You Are All Diseased set him on the path he’s still blindly stumbling down.
Taylor has been performing stand-up since 2016. He previously hosted a podcast where he interviewed internationally touring comedians and musicians. He later formed Dead Weight Citizens Brigade, a sketch-comedy/avant-garde-music oddity through which he has released several albums (with airplay on CiTR Radio) and sketches that have been featured at Vancouver Sketchfest.
He directed and performed in The Mixtape, a live comedy concert film and documentary released in 2022. Yes, he is aware Netflix put out a movie with the same name, filmed in the same location. No, he does not want to talk about it.
Over the past few years, he has composed scores for short films and helped produce several others. In 2024, he produced An Evening with Dead Weight Citizens Brigade, a live music-and-sketch show featuring The Evan Williams Project. In 2025, Taylor independently released two zines, Haunted Moments and The House of Flesh and Fog, because he was not already making enough unmarketable art.
After burning out on normal jobs, Taylor enrolled in Vancouver Film School’s year-long writing intensive, specializing in television, and graduated with honours in 2023, finally learning how to manage student debt. When he’s not performing, he’s at home playing video games, listening to music, making oddball visual art, and writing in the third person at gunpoint.
