Comedy Central Presents: Matt Fulchiron

Matt Fulchiron leans entirely into financial malaise. He spends his half-hour detailing the quiet indignities of being completely broke, turning a lack of momentum into a comedic virtue. The material clicks because he fully embraces the slump. He complains about the harsh realities of sleeping on an air mattress and finds a silver lining in the global economic recession.

The set aired in early 2011 as part of the fifteenth season of Comedy Central Presents. At the time, Fulchiron was a fixture at the Comedy Store and pulling opening act duty for Daniel Tosh on theater tours. Relying on his signature low-energy pacing, he works through the mechanics of quitting a gym, the logic of drive-thru liquor stores, and the awkwardness of ordering adult films on pay-per-view.
