Growing up in a small town in Alabama, Matt Mathews never expected his blossoming comedy career to take him as far as it has.
Matt’s response from fans on tour has propelled him forward, and Matt has started what is nothing short of a comedy phenomenon.
In 2024, Mathews would embark on his Boujee on a Budget tour, a 52-city U.S. run produced by Live Nation. Known for his relatable, situational humor, Mathews discusses various topics and personal experiences in his stand-up, including his daily life of living on a farm, his career as a boudoir photographer, relationships, and more. The comedian will also bring his ever-popular “Confessions with Matt” video series to the live stage, where he provides a real-time comedic take on audience members who voluntarily spill their deepest, darkest secrets.
As part of the tour, Live Nation would film a mini-documentary series following Matt’s journey titled Home Stretch. Matt is grateful for his time on the road, but eager to get back to his roots. Join us as we follow Matt’s journey on the road and back to Birmingham, Alabama for two sold out shows. Performs at the historic Alabama Theatre and reflects on the hardships – and triumphs – of making a name for himself as a full-fledged comedy superstar in the South.
Matt Mathews never planned on doing comedy, it kind of just, well, fell in his lap. Growing up, his affinity for art took a few different shapes: performing for his teddy bears, teaching himself photography, a brief stint in nursing, and finally building a presence on TikTok. When he realized how much people related to his content during the pandemic, Matt jumped at the opportunity to kick off his comedy career. And the rest is history…
