Matthew Broussard, Hyperbolic
Hyperbolic is Matthew’s debut full-length special. The veteran of Conan, Comedy Central, and the Tonight Showe stretches his legs with thoughtful, personal material about his childhood as a Cajun Jew in a WASPy Southern prep school. He tells stories about his familial mental illness, and an exploration of millennial masculinity from the perspective of a bread-losing husband to a former pro athlete. Plus some sidebars into grammar, etymology, pharmaceutical origin stories, and statistics.
Matthew began his stand-up career 13 years ago aiming to leave his finance job behind. Five years in, he released a half-hour special through Comedy Central. Then he spent the next eight years on the road collecting stories, gaining a fiancee, and losing a father. His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and educational.
