Matt's most recent credits include: Eager to Lose, a Burlesque Farce in Rhyming Verse, which just ended an extended run Off-Bway at Ars Nova; his critically-acclaimed solo play Handbook for an American Revolutionary which ran Off-Bway at the Gym at Judson; and his much buzzed-about dry comedy web series, ROGER, THE CHICKEN, co-produced with Emmy-winner Carrie Preston. He's also appeared on Comedy Central, in the Sundance hit Another Earth and has written for Nickelodeon and WWE. He was the host of MTV's Epic Fail until focus groups thought he was too "smart funny." He is a member of the 2014/15 Ars Nova Play Group.
