Standupworld.com: "Matt’s a New York comedy beast. He’s sharp, dark, and funny. BOLO is his awesome special on YouTube, that’s something truly worth checking out. It’s Matt at his best: raw, real, and ripping into life’s absurdities with a signature edge the New York Times called 'button-pushing' and 'funny.' His style’s a mix of cerebral gut-punches and pitch-black humor. He’s one of the smartest voices in standup right now."
