From a small town near Columbus Ohio, Matt started performing at the age of fifteen then moved out to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood. In addition to stand-up, he made his television debut on MTV’s "Wild 'N Out" as the youngest cast member in history for four seasons before moving on to other MTV properties, such as hosting the reboot of TRL and appearing on The Challenge. Other credits include "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "Fresh Off The Boat", "BET’s North Of The 10", and NBC’s comedy competition show "Bring The Funny".

The special was taped in Austin, TX and is dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. He’ll be taping his third stand-up special this fall in Washington, DC.
