All time fav

Matt brings such a realness and grounding to improv that I just don’t find in other improv podcasts. An institution of comedy.

Funniest podcast out there

I’ve been listening to this show since the first 20 episodes and it is hands down the funniest podcast available. There are just so many incredible episodes with the funniest people you can imagine and Matt is the best at directing the scenes and bringing the best out of everyone in addition to creating some amazing concept and 2-3 part episodes. Can’t say enough good things about it.
