Wondermentalist is a comedy-infused, poetically enhanced, fundamentally wonder-filled show, celebrating subjects as diverse as potatoes and pandas, difficult dogs, pain relief, petty theft and public nudity. The show also features Matt’s alter ego Empath Man, contemporary superhero who fights crime with his advanced listening skills and ability to stay open and vulnerable in a tight situation.
A familiar voice from Radio 4 s Saturday Live, One Night Stanza, andWondermentalist Cabaret and occasional novelty reporter on BBC Spotlight, Matt has been diverging neurologically all his life but has recently, since a late diagnosis of ADHD/Autism, become neurodivulgent**. Matt has written books for children and adults, was first and last Poet-in-Residence at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, and his hit Edinburgh Festival Wondermentalist show toured the village halls of the South West to great acclaim:
