[citation needed] Taylor studied languages at university in London – he is fluent English, French and Spanish.

[9] What made him known to a larger audience was the online video La Bise (referring to the cheek kisses used as a greeting in France).

[10] The video, which was made to promote a night of English language humour in Paris,[11] was uploaded on 1 January 2016, and has now more than 3 million views.

Filmed in a sequence shot, La Bise mocked this French tradition, and served as a model for Taylor's show What the Fuck France?

Thanks to the success of La Bise, watched over a million times in a few days[12] on YouTube, Canal+ contacted Paul Taylor the week following its release, offering him to develop a regular short program[13] along the same format.

The three-minute short comedy show debuted in September 2016, and ran for 34 episodes[14] in which Taylor humorously dissects the peculiarities of French life, as seen through an expat's eyes.

His first stand-up show, #Franglais,[18] 50% in French, 50% en anglais, was performed in different Parisian theatres such as Le Sentier des Halles, La Nouvelle Eve, and L'Européen, and then on tour in France, Europe and Canada,[19] for almost three years.

[21] In #Franglais, Paul Taylor talked about his woes with the French language, which he hasn't mastered yet, even after many years of studying and despite his flawless accent.

On 18 October 2019, Taylor debuted his second show, So British (ou presque), after a break-in period of a few weeks in August 2018 at the Point Virgule.

On 22 June 2020 he participated in a special show at L'Européen, Retour vers la Culture, to celebrate the end of the Coronavirus lockdown and a return to normalcy in France.
