Content warning: themes of mental health and suicide

Taylor Nobes is known for her unapologetically comedic musical and choreographed stage performances, full of performative energy and character. 

Having seen some of her previous shows such as 'Music & You' and 'Does It Please You', I was definitely excited to see her again perform beside Samuel Lau. 

In her latest show 'The Heart May Or May Not Go On', Taylor has written deeply about her life changing diagnosis, using dark comedy, lyrical performances, and instrumental ballads.

Of course, Taylor has included plenty of her signature segments which provides a heap of laughter, but be prepared to feel the feels.

The rawness and vulnerability of her original songs moved everyone in the audience (including me) and brought me to tears, which is the second time I've cried at a Fringe show this season at Nexus Arts. 

She also shares some personal moments throughout her childhood, which highlight the struggles and personal battles she's experienced.

Taylor poured her heart and soul into this show and it truly showed on and off the stage, and it was an absolute privilege to witness her performance with the deep connection she has with Sam.

The brilliance of her comedy, powerhouse vocals, outrageous choreography, and heartfelt storytelling is one that is always worth watching.
