## Resource

Taylor discusses starting as a comedy nomad, the idea that comedy has to balance itself, taking responsibility for the audience (even if the audience is bad and should feel bad), and learning to read the room. She and Dan also discuss weird audiences, ensuring you’re in charge of the room, and building likability and trust so the audience will follow you. Taylor Soderborg Taylor Soderborg is a doctor turned comic. With both an MD and a PhD, she is proof you can go to too much school. Blending education and humor, she uses her science and medical experiences to inspire her comedy. Taylor is passionate about science communication and is the Executive Director of Science Riot, a non-profit science outreach program that turns scientists into engaging speakers and comedians through immersive training in comedy writing and performance. @doctortaycomedy Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-art-of-bombing-a-comedy-podcast--5788059/support .
