Winner - Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival 2012 Best New Show
Matt is currently the youngest comedian working professionally in the UK at just 21 and has travelled the World telling jokes. Having started stand-up at just 18 he appeared in the finals of some of the largest new act competitions in the country - including 'So You Think You're Funny' and 'The Chortle Student Comedy Award' - just months after starting stand-up.


Now in his 20's he is one of the most exciting up-and-coming prospects on the comedy circuit - where he can be seen nightly at the country's biggest comedy clubs and on tour with some of the biggest names with his high-energy brand of confessional and hilarious stand-up.


“This (extremely) young stand-up is poised to become the next bright young sensation on the comedy circuit – expect to hear a lot more of him”
The Guardian


"His 2013 Debut solo show should be one for the diary" Three Weeks


"He's brash, slick and full of mildly laddish but self-deprecating stories, all delivered with an irresistible twinkle. Richardson may be full of self-confidence but he's got the broad appeal to back up the cockiness" - The Guardian
