Matt Green

Green paces a stage with the speed of a comic who has survived thousands of club weekends. He asks the audience questions, tests the room’s political temperature, and layers personal anecdotes with sudden callbacks. Often, he splits his live show right down the middle. He will come out first in a suit, performing in character as a patronizing, completely disconnected Conservative MP, before dropping the act in the second half to perform as himself.

After working the UK circuit for nearly twenty years, he found a completely different level of fame on social media by posting videos skewering British politicians. He navigates the strange reality of being a veteran standup whom audiences primarily view as a sketch creator. Instead of running from it, he leans in, essentially booking his own internet persona as his opening act.

His political material is cheerful rather than venomous. As the MP, he interrogates the front row to find out who voted the right way, treating Westminster chaos as an absurd sitcom. When he switches back to himself, he undercuts his own authority. He talks about the oddity of being an internet satirist whose videos attract strange corporate sponsorships, and retreats into a stance that most political issues are simply too complicated to solve on a stage. He relies on years of crowd work to keep the room moving, rarely letting a silence linger.

He served as president of the Cambridge Footlights and acted in BBC radio before moving into club comedy, giving his political characters the crisp, authoritative cadence of an actual broadcaster.
