BIO

Over a decade in comedy, Matt Elsbury has performed around Australia (and occasionally
on the Pacific Ocean) as an MC, as touring partner with Carl Barron, and as a headliner in his
own right.

Seen on the ABC and the Comedy Channel, heard on the Austereo network nationally, and
read in Beat Magazine, Matt's incisive views on music, the news, popular culture, sport and life
in general have been described as "intelligent, engaging, and very bloody funny" (RRR FM).

A veteran of eight Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, Matt, quite simply, knows how
to make 'em laugh.
