Originally from Detroit where he was voted “Best Local Comic” by the Metro Times, Matt now making his home in New York City, and has been receiving national exposure, touring coast to coast as well as posting appearances at many prestigious comedy festivals, like the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival with Dave Chappelle, and racking up contest victories at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta as well the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, and The San Francisco Comedy Competition. He has appeared on the AXS TV series “Gotham Comedy Live”, was a member of primary cast of the FOX series “Laughs”, and his album, “Uncomfortable” can be heard on Pandora, Spotify, and SiriusXM.
