BIOGRAPHY

Fourteen years after beginning stand-up, Matt Burke has secured a position as one of the most promising comedians of his generatlon. An acidic, original wit, Burke’s revelry in the unpleasant side of life, and the precision with which he attacks his targets, unfailingly grabs the audience’s attention. From there, he keeps it and guides them through the light and dark places of the unique world in which he lives. Hip, cynical, and dripping with sarcasm, Burke’s ability to draw even the most prudish crowds into his web is uncanny.Matt’s unique approach has not gone unnoticed. He has been seen on numerous television shows including The Showtime Clomedy Club Network, Comedy Central’s Stand Up, Stand Up, A&E’s Comedy On The Road and, most recently, Gotham Comedy Live on AXS.tv. He has also worked as a writer for the Late Show with David Letterman. To quote John Blenn, editor of New York’s Good Times Magazine, “Matt Burke seems to have taken his cue from the late great comedians like Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison… His theories on life and the evolution of culture are getting closer and closer to the stuff legends are made of.”
