Matt Mathews' live show is nothing short of a bona fide barn burner, guaranteed to provide bountiful belly laughs for all who attend.

Throughout his routine, Mathews incorporates a swath of taboo topics and hysterical personal experiences, including his daily life living on a farm, growing up as a gay man in Alabama, his career as a renowned boudoir photographer, and strange sexual encounters. "Most people know me as the crazy farmer from TikTok, who cusses at his chickens in his bathrobe," says Mathews. "While that's definitely a real part of who I am, I'm excited to show my fans a side of me that they can't find on social media& the real and raw Matt Mathews. My goal was to create a comedy show like no other - to make people laugh by sharing personal stories that will inspire them to reach for the stars and make shit happen!"

His comedy show also features audience interaction via a segment called 'Live Confessions' where audience members scan a QR code and anonymously submit their confessions, which he responds to impromptu on stage.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
