Matty Reed + Support

Great Night of Comedy as always at the halt.

MATT REED 

Born and bred in Sunderland, Mat Reed started comedy in 2001 as half of the double act Mat & Faron with Faron Smith. And as a solo act, he made the finals of the Daily Telegraph Open mic award in 2002 and of the Leicester Comedian of the Year contest the following year.

A man who has been in every situation that comedy can throw his way. Broken ribs up a mountain. On-stage nudity. Crowds of 10 and of 25,000. He's done it all and he's done it brilliantly.

Matt is a resident compère at no fewer than 15 gigs nationwide. One of the finest compères in the business, he has supported the likes of Jim Jefferies and the One Man Star Wars Trilogy. He’s appeared at festivals such as Bestival, Sonisphere, Leeds, Reading and Altitude, alongside Tim Minchin, Sean Lock and Frankie Boyle. He has also featured on the Comedy Store Presents on Comedy Central.
