Matthew Broussard, Hyperbolic
Hyperbolic marks the full-length debut special from comedian Matthew Broussard, a veteran of Conan, Roast Battle, and The Tonight Show. In this sharply honed set, Matthew dives into painfully personal experiences growing up Cajun-Jewish in a WASPy Southern prep school, the challenges of millennial masculinity as the bread loser to a former pro athlete, and candid stories about mental health struggles in his family. Plus some oddly keen 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 weirdly… educational?
Hyperbolic premieres at 7pm EST on December 10, 2024 on YouTube.
