Matt Price

Cornish-born, Cardiff-based Matt Price is officially the UK’s first New Deal comedian. Having been on the dole for two years, he applied for the financial support of the Government’s New Deal scheme to help him launch his stand-up career – and was accepted. Before comedy, he also had a short career in boxing, and wrote a book on the subject.

Friendly Cornish Giant Matt Price was going out with a woman. The only problem, is that she wasn’t going out with him, so Matt spent a year or of his life looking like the world’s worst stalker. The experience triggered a memory from his childhood. Find out why he pretended to like Death Metal, why he loves bad performance poetry and how a five foot one Glaswegian woman saved his life.
