BIO

Over a decade in comedy, Matt Elsbury has performed around the world, including the UK, South-East Asia, and the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and has travelled Austrlia 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 ten Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, Matt, quite simply, knows how to make 'em laugh.
