Ruby Wendell is the girl next door … who bites and steals. Born in Iowa City, Iowa to a Family Therapist and a Farmer (who divorced when she was 5) she is alternatively sweet, and uniquely dark, and it shows in her material.
She attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and The British American Drama Academy in Oxford. Her grandfather, Howard “One Take” Wendell was a character actor in such movies as “Prince Valiant,” “Affair in Trinidad,” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” and she likes to think she is following in his footsteps.
Having discovered stand-up while living in New York, she is now addicted, and has since moved to L.A. where she performs … constantly.
She was most recently seen in the box office hit, Paul Blart; Mall Cop as well as on season six of Last Comic Standing. Ruby has another current indie comedy coming out, The Mother of Invention, which premiered internationally at The London Sci-Fi Film Festival at Oxford Circus and can be seen at the upcoming Hollywood Film Festival at The Arclight theater in Hollywood.
