Using his sense of humour and razor sharp material, Rudi has built an outstanding list of Radio and Television projects in 2007 and 2008. With a super confident playful personality and oozing charisma, his infectious charm has made him a desirable commodity; Upcoming television and media projects for 07/08 include; Funny Business - Rudi judges new comedy talent in a 4 part series (BBC1wales Jan/Feb 08), Get me the Producer (Ch4-Nov 07), plus a nationwide project with Mediatheme hosting the most comprehensive comedy entertainment system to date.
