Multi-award-winning Welsh comedian Matt Rees has generated a huge buzz on the circuit over the past few years with his unique brand of well-crafted gags and acerbic delivery, earning him high praise from audiences and critics alike.

As well as starring in TV hit This Country and BBC’s Edinburgh Fringe Highlights, Matt also recorded an episode of BBC2’s Stand Up at BBC Wales, and Amazon’s Audible Presents. In 2018, Matt made his hotly-anticipated debut solo show at The Edinburgh Fringe with Happy Hour, a humorous approach to his alcoholism and everyday life.

The rising star has won a whole host of awards including Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, Leicester Square Comedian of The Year, Welsh Unsigned Act of The Year and Loaded LAFTAs, as well as being nominated for Chortle Best Newcomer. 

“Comedian to watch”The Times

“Rees’ phlegmatic, hangdog delivery belies a phenomenally high gag rate. And as he draws each of his routines to a close with a swerve of deft wordplay there is a surprising feeling of the pacey rhythm more familiar in a one-liner show. He has an eye for the bizarre and for darkness. Rees can tell a story or create a world in a sentence.” The Skinny

“A gem in the form of a laconic youngster with an instinctive comedic talent” Metro

“Quite brilliant. I’d love to see more of this comic.” Kate Copstick, The Scotsman
