BIO
ABOUT MATT
“Matt has been a local favorite in the Chicago and Raleigh scenes, and is now traveling the country performing at shows of all kinds.
His Minnesotan upbringing and engineering background combine for a style that’s dorky yet approachable. He’ll lure you in and keep you laughing!
After working as an engineer for 5 years in the corporate world, he also knows how to find humor in the best and worst of office settings.”
SOME OTHER STUFF YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW
I created and taught an intro to stand-up class through the Logan Square Improv in Chicago. I do coaching sessions to help hone your writing to get to show level quality.
I doodled through a large portion of my schooling (leading to the CARTOONS page).
