Taylor Ruddle
Stand-up Comedian • Graphic Designer • Producer
Taylor’s style is upbeat, relaxed, and disarmingly laid back with a twinkle in his eye, disguising a sharply honed wit. Tales of his misadventures abroad and observational comedy serve as the bulk of his act, sprinkled over with pop culture references, puns and general silliness.
He was the founding member of Can Do Comedy and handles the bulk of our branding, as well as his show Flockin’ Funny which he oversees personally.
