In Conversation with Carolyn Taylor

To date, the series has received both national and international praise. Receiving accolades from The New York Times, IndieWire, and Vogue. Moreover, it has earned an impressive 20 Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Sketch Show/Series and Best Writing in a Sketch Show/Series for five consecutive years (2017-2021). In addition, it won an ACTRA Award for Best Ensemble (2018), two international Rockies for Best Comedy (2019, 2020), The Rogers Prize for Excellence in Canadian Content (2019, 2020), and an international Rose D’Or.

Most recently, Carolyn created and starred in the hit quixotic figure-skating docu-comedy I Have Nothing (Crave, 2023). As a result, she received a 2024 Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Performer in a Comedy.

Additionally, Carolyn honed her skills in improvisation and social satire at The Second City in Toronto. She also stared in 5 original mainstage revues and garnering 4 Canadian Comedy Awards. Recent credits include playing the off-kilter owner of a haunted AirBnB on Workin’ Moms (CBC/Netflix, 2022), an off-kilter Camp Director on Detention Adventure (HBO Max, 2022) and as a (somewhat less) off-kilter lesbian organic farmer opposite SNL’s Punky Johnson on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts (2023).

Looking ahead, Carolyn’s upcoming projects include Mae Martin’s thriller series Tall Pines (Netflix, 2025), Children Ruin Everything (Bell/Crave, 2025) and a full-length experimental queer pop album The Untitled Carolyn Taylor Project (2025).
