Taurus and comedy

[FruityLlama]

I think this was discussed somewhere else but I can't find it on search. 

Anyway, I've started to notice that within British comedy, especially male duos, there is usually one of the pairs that have a Taurus sun or moon: 

-Ant and Dec (Anthony McPartlin, Declan Donnelly both Taurus moons)
-Paul Whitehouse (Taurus sun and moon) duo w/ Harry Enfield
-Ronnie Corbett (Taurus moon) duo w/ Ronnie Barker
-David Mitchell (Taurus moon) duo w/ Robert Webb (its also possible that Olivia Colman who played Sophie in Peep Show is a Taurus Moon too- 12pm chart gives 0* Taurus)
-Joanna Lumley (Taurus sun and moon) duo (kind of) w/ Jennifer Saunders
-Dawn French (Taurus moon) duo w/ J. Saunders
-Rob Brydon (Taurus sun conj. Venus) duo w/ Steve Coogan 
-Dylan Moran (Taurus moon) (actually I'm not sure if he was in a duo per se, but he did Black Books w/ Bill Bailey)


Not a hard and fast rule though because duos that don't have any include:
Walliams and Lucas (Little Britain) (both Leo moons)
Fry and Laurie,
Armstrong and Miller (I think, haven't found Ben Miller's chart yet)
Nick Frost (well he has a Taurus Venus) and Simon Pegg
Pace and Hale
Sue Perkins (Taurus ASC) (from Mel and Sue)


Thought it was interesting though. Gemini pops up a lot with the other half of the duo.

I just LOVE them. 

Trying to think of US comedians with Taurus suns....George Carlin, Stephen Colbert...

A lot of Taurus people are just funny, or always laughing...Adele, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett...

Hahaha me too!! I was so sad to hear about Ant.. I hope he is doing well now though.

Is Leto a comedian? And taurus?

I think its the dry wit, but doesnt push too many boundaries thats appealing about Taurean humour. All the above arent known for being offensive but just being able to see the ridiculous in certain situations. Observational comedy I think is what Taurus is good at, and tying it to logic, Ive noticed that as well.

My dad is a Taurus, moon in Aqua, Mercury in Gem..

He is very funny good with telling jokes but even better with telling anegdotes. He just attracts people, they flock to him to hear the jokes/stories.

Maybe something to it really.

Another friend I know, she is a Taurus loves to taaalk and talk. But things with this one is that she got less interesting older she got as in her talking abilities got very much boring. She has a moon in Virgo and Mercury in Taurus.

Yeah I think the other thing is that their Gemini counterparts often are able to bring Taurean humour to life. Mercury in Taurus can be slow with ideas and thinking things through (I am one myself, as is Paul Whitehouse)- I'm not entirely sure whether Mercury in Taurus is inherently funny or not, maybe its to do with the observational skills though rather than the delivery.

Ava , people tell me I am smiley too- my profile picture here is of me on my last holiday at the Llama park near Scotland.
My Taurus friends at uni are smiley people too, especially the one with Cancer moon, Libra ASC. She laughs loudly at everything and its infectious. 

Hugh Grant has a Taurus moon too- he isn't a comedian per se, but he is known for his dry wit right? I haven't seen much of him on UK screens lately, don't know if he's done anything in US

Yes!

Adding to your list*:

Craig Ferguson

Stephen Colbert

^ They have Gemini inner planets. Ferguson also has some Aries, and that comes through.

FruityLlama , Were we discussing this on LL? I feel like we were talking about this one day...

Not a duo, but Taurus comedians.

@12yearsablob

Ahh yes well spotted thank you!!

Ooh possibly we were yes! I remember an article not long ago about Taurus-Scorpio duos and something about how the Scorpio is always on the left or something, like Ant and Dec...?

Oh well, its still interesting as I always think of other signs being more prone to comedy like Aquarius and Sag, but perhaps not!

I wonder if its the case that each sign has its own skill regarding comedy. Leos tend to be ridiculous and goofy (in a good way)- just thinking of Little Britains Matt Lucas and David Walliams who are both Leos. Walliams is a Leo moon too I think. Also my bf hahaha!

Also I'm ever so sorry but I forgot how to tag you- I have a feeling that above isn't it is it?
