Taylor Ruddle: Panic! At The Buffet

Three-time award-nominated comedian Taylor Ruddle has never been a tough guy, a bad boy or a buff guy. But that's not going to stop him from trying to be!


Fresh off the back of a 20-show comedy tour with TV's David Correos, Panic! At The Buffet marks Taylor's third hour of stand-up comedy. In this performance, he muses on why he's thankful for ram-raids, the struggle of being a recovering alt-kid in his 30s, his attempts at weight loss, trying to be an intellectual, and why Hungry Wok is his favourite recession-busting restaurant.


Throughout the stories and bits, Taylor weaves in a variety of goofs and one-liners, all delivered in his signature cheeky, upbeat style. It's an hour of jolly escapist comedy for those who don't take life too seriously and aren't afraid to laugh at themselves – he's sure not!


Taylor is also known for his award-nominated podcast, Ruddle Me This!, which has been running for about a year and is rapidly climbing the ranks of the NZ comedy podcast charts!
