bio
Hi, I'm Taylor and I'm a writer, actor, and comedian, born and bred in KC, MO, now living in NYC.
I’m currently a writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO and for Crying in Public on Substack (it’s just my Substack… it’s my personal Substack).
My first humor book, A GUIDE TO MIDWESTERN CONVERSATION is available RIGHT NOW! You can order it here. Jeez Louise! Thanks!
My work has been published in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, The Atlantic, Reductress, SELF.com and Greatist. Also during COVID me and musical genius Dylan Marcaurele made a silly EP called The Love Songs!
Also, one time I got interviewed by The Kansas City Star because of a viral tweet thread I wrote about the 2004-2007 KC Royals promotion where if the Royals got a dozen hits, every ticket holder would get a dozen donuts for free. I have been chasing the high of those summers ever since.
Ask me about my high school basketball career.

“She always says please and thank you when making demands of me. When the inevitable robot takeover comes, I will kill her last and quickly so she feels no pain.”
