Phil Black married comedian and entertainment personality, Ellie Taylor in 2014. Their wedding ceremony took place in London.
In October 2009, Ellie Taylor was at the earliest reference point of her comedy career. Working normal everyday employment in entertainment and attempting to plan gigs as an afterthought, 2009 was the start of something uncommon for the comedian and writer.
In the span of ten years, and Taylor has cut out a spot for herself in the behemoth that is the British comedy industry. In the moderately brief timeframe period since her first gig at an open-mic night, she has landed customary openings on both BBC2's The Mash Report and Mock The Week, and appeared as a guest on everything from 8 Out Of 10 Cats to QI.
She's figured out how to appear as both a featured demonstration and a host on the BBC stand-up comedy series Live At The Apollo and figured out how to feature three UK tours.
When asked by Stylist magazine what she was reading ten years ago in 2009, she said "It probably would have been Harry Potter. Still now, if I’m ever feeling a bit stressed, I’ll go back into Harry Potter. It’s always friendly: a safe place. Hogwarts is comforting. Otherwise, since the invention of Audible, I listen to books instead. I’m not very good at reading non-fiction but I’m better at listening to it, so I consume more non-fiction now because of that, which I didn’t do before."
