Matt Brown on Kill Tony, Dark Family Trauma & Why Most Comics Suck | If This Doesn't Work...

Matt Brown joins If This Doesn’t Work… for one of our wildest episodes yet. We get into his Kill Tony experience, what it’s actually like waiting in that bucket-pull chaos, why the Austin comedy scene wasn’t for him, and why he thinks most comics need to be bullied a little more.We also get into some much darker territory: losing both parents to cancer, addiction, acting out in high school, baseball, getting hooked on opiates, bombing in brutal rooms, insane road stories, and how grief, comedy, and self-destruction all get tangled together.Matt is one of those comics who can go from deeply personal to completely unhinged in about two seconds, so this episode goes everywhere: Kill Tony, Tom Segura, comedy club politics, dark jokes, weird jobs, Austin vs Baltimore, and some of the most reckless riffs we’ve had on the show in a minute.Check out Matt Brown here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattbcomedy/Poe Boys Prods: https://www.instagram.com/poeboysprod/Subscribe to If This Doesn’t Work… for more long-form conversations with comedians, creators, rappers, and other beautiful disasters.#KillTony #StandUpComedy #ComedyPodcast #BaltimoreComedy #AustinComedy #DarkHumor #PodcastInterview #Comedians
