The San Diego G&L Times has described Matt Bragg's Comedy as " disarmingly sarcastic". His television appearances include " On "Q" Live" and NBC’s "Last Comic Standing", where in the two seconds of air time he was allotted, he managed to out himself to a national audience. Openly Funny and not afraid to be who he is, Matt has a unique point of view that includes stories of the trials and tribulations of life traveling around the world and back again. From growing up in Ohio to being in the US Navy to managing a Comedy Club....Matt’s life is a sit-com waiting to happen.
Currently based out of both Los Angeles and Boise, Idaho (summer/fall 2008). He is a regular at The World Famous Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood and is a favorite at Pride events across the country.

"Contrary to popular thinking, being worthy isn’t something you earn, it’s something you recognize. And once you do, you won’t be able to think, speak or behave in any other way than as if what you most wanted was meant to be.”

About me:
I'm a stand-up comic / performer - I moved from San Diego to Los Angeles in 2005. I have since relocated to Boise for the summer of 2008 to work up a new show. I'm lookin' for cool, interesting and charismatic peeps (like myself) to kick it with.... I totaly dig having Hoe's in other area codes but my Bro's are very important to me. I have a drama free life and I love it that way.... so if you gots something to say - be a friggin' man and just say it. I aint sceeerd.
Who I'd like to meet:
Professionally: Comics and other Industry professionals.
Personally: People who have delt with thier own shazam and lived to tell the story... please move to the front of the line. Wimps & wanna-be's - need not apply.
P.S. - By the way and FYI - Riding on it does not make you a top - cowboy!!!
