BIO
ABOUT MATT
“Matt is a van-dwelling comic who spends most of his time in the woods. He returns to cities only to tell jokes to cool people (hey, that’s you). A Minnesota native with an engineering background, his comedy is dorky yet relatable – mixing sharp observations with playful self-deprecation. He hooks audiences quickly and keeps them laughing all evening. Catch him soon, before the forest claims him for good.”
Coming up in Chicago, he produced the long running show “Two Week’s Notice,” which provided a stage to local and touring comics to explore the dark depths of horrible jobs.
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 now provide group or individual coaching sessions to help hone comic’s writing skills to get to show level quality.
Drop me a DM or email and I can take you through my process to go from total beginner, to getting huge laughs on stage in 6 weeks.
