We were very pleased with his work.”

I would highly recommend Taylor, I believe his comedy will provide fun entertainment for everyone.”

Comedy Coaching

I'd love to work with you on any shows you're currently developing. My strengths lie in helping figure out what your "Through Line" or "Arc" of the hour can be, as well as helping you with the wordsmithing (word choice and word economy) of your jokes, as well as potentially punching up existing material.

Testimonials From Comics I've Written With

“Taylor is very supportive of other comedians and a great comedy writer. I have previously been part of writing groups with Taylor and he is a great person to bounce ideas around with, to generate and improve jokes. Highly recommend working with Taylor.”
- Jo Prendergast (Ghastly), Comedian

“Every idea I come to him with an idea, I walk away with a better understanding of comedy. Always takes an idea to its fullest potential. Amazing at understanding your comedy style, and helps to craft ideas that suit you.”
- Henry Hickman, Comedian

“Taylor Ruddle has a unique style of comedy and coaching. He creates a space to bounce your ideas off of and adds a little zing to your joke. He is not intimidating and creates a relaxed atmosphere to just let the comic be themselves while adding a heap of space and encouragement. Taylor Ruddle is why I am still in comedy today.”
- Tina Dee, Comedian
