Matt Mathews is a comedian, singer/songwriter, and unapologetic trailblazer whose raw honesty, razor-sharp wit, and unmistakable Southern charm have made him one of comedy's fastest-rising stars.
Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Mathews first captured national attention during the pandemic with his viral "farm chore" videos, turning everyday chaos, unfiltered storytelling, and authentic humor into a social media phenomenon. Today, he has built a devoted audience of more than 15 million followers and generated over a billion views across platforms.
What started as a playful escape from his full-time career as a boudoir photographer quickly evolved into a breakout comedy career. After performing stand-up for the first time in 2022, Mathews rapidly went from small clubs to sold-out theaters and arenas across the country. His wildly successful Boujee On A Budget Tour sold more than 250,000 tickets and included multiple performances at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium.
Mathews' comedy is deeply rooted in his real-life experiences as a farmer, barrel racer, entrepreneur, proud Alabamian, and openly gay entertainer navigating the industry with authenticity and humor. Deadline named him among the "Future of Comedy," and The Advocate has celebrated the unique path he continues to carve in entertainment.
