Matt Holt is the youngest of eight kids. No, his family is not Catholic. They do drink, swear and gamblethey just don't believe in repenting for it!
The story of his life begins with the good fortune of being raised by humorous parents and being surrounded with a wonderful cast of misfits, felons and fugitives who just happen to be related to him. Who could ask for more?
The next chapter of Matt's life sees him working for a major telecommunications company. He survived fifteen years in Corporate America before throwing his hands up to surrender. Also during this time, in need of various small appliances and an assortment of picture frames, Matt entered into the blissful institution of marriage. The bliss lasted for a few months, the marriage lasted nine years. It ended with the division of everything he owned and the addition of a beautiful daughter.
Today, Matt is married (his friends like to call him a repeat offender) to a wonderful and supportive woman. The scars, shadows and memories of his past have not been forgotten. It is from this grounded but chaotic life history that Matt has developed and honed his comedic sensibility. He bases his humor on these experiences and never misses an opportunity to laugh at himself and the world around him. Audiences appreciate Matt's quick, razor-sharp wit and his relaxed style.

Matt Holt's Interests
General
I have a pretty varied range of interests. As most comics are, I am a student of stand-up comedy. Over the past several years, comedy has become my passion. Now don't get me wrong...I still enjoy other activities about which I feel strongly. Such as: getting free stuff at the grocery store simply by using the self-checkout lane, catching up with old high school classmates to find out which one is in prison and who has had a sex change, and, of course, seeking out everything in the Jerry Reed music catalog.

You silly fucker. I wish Crackers was what it used to be - Chris Miller, Marianne, me, Rob Harris, Big Brian, Crazy Brad, a few others I can't remember and whoever was performing. Let's recreate the artistic phenomenon. Who do you know has investment capital? Oh wait...it's still 2008. Fuck.

there should be a video..with all the Crackers people...to the Golden Girls theme...it opens with Matt carrying a basket of laundry...as the music hits in...he turns and smiles as he sees Boatwright stumble in mostly drunk, yelling silently. Matt smiles and shakes his head as it freezes frames and says "Matt Holt" and so on. I think it would be a hit. It better be because im running late for work and it took a good bit of time to type that.
I'm disappointed that you've broken your resolution to blog more this year, but I understand how the gym can take up a lot of your time. And by "gym," I mean All You Can Eat Meatloaf Buffet at the Moose Lodge. See you next week you funny fucker.
