Matt Green: Truth Bombs

Matt Green

Green is a stand-up audience's dream; his off-the-cuff jokes are so good they could have been scripted, and his clever prepared material is delivered so nonchalantly it could have been improvised. It also helps that Green has a baby-face that lets him get away with murder. I'll even let him get away with changing the title of his show to 'Truth And Pleasure', even though 'Truth Bombs' is far more apt. Once kindled by comfortable chit-chat with the audience, the show soon caught fire as Green hit the nail on the head with his oh-so-familiar truths, culminating in an explosion of comedy that left everyone in stitches: I ain't lyin', Matt Green is da bomb.
