Matt Mathews is a comedian, singer/songwriter, and unapologetic trailblazer whose blend of raw honesty, quick wit, and Southern charm has made him one of comedy’s fastest-rising stars. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Mathews first captured attention during the pandemic with viral “farm chore” videos that showcased his humor and authenticity, quickly building a devoted following of more than 12 million fans and generating over a billion views across social media.
What began as a playful diversion from his full-time career as a boudoir photographer soon ignited into a new path in stand-up comedy. Within months of his first performance in 2022, Mathews was headlining his own shows and embarking on his first national tour. Today, his Live Nation–promoted Boujee On A Budget Tour has grown into a blockbuster, with more than 150,000 tickets sold and stops at major venues including multiple shows at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and his first-ever arena show in his hometown of Birmingham.
Mathews’ comedy is deeply rooted in his life experiences—whether as a farmer, barrel racer, photographer, proud Alabamian, or LGBTQ+ voice pushing boundaries in the entertainment industry. He creates a space where audiences can forget the noise of the outside world and simply laugh. His work has earned him recognition from Deadline, who named him among the “Future of Comedy,” and from The Advocate, which celebrated the unique path he has paved in both comedy and entertainment.
