“Matt delivers in all capacities. We hired matt as the closing keynote speaker for our 30th anniversary conference, as we wanted to end on a note of levity, and that’s exactly what we got. Matt did his homework, tailored his comedy to appeal to our audience, he is absolutely hilarious and an all-around sweetheart. We had delegates holding their stomachs walking out of the room post-keynote saying that it hurt from laughing. He was a joy to work with, a joy to be around and his rep made coordination easy. If you are thinking of hiring Matt, please don’t hesitate, and just book the guy. He is worth it.”
