Published on Thu, Aug 14, 2014 (10:50 a.m.)

Comedian Matt Knudsen is bringing his witty charismatic stand-up Thursday, August 14 at the LA Comedy Club at Bally's to promote his latest stand-up comedy album entitled "American”.

His critically acclaimed albums, “The Comedy Stylings of Matt Knudsen” and “American,” are top downloads on iTunes, heard regularly on SiriusXM radio and “Mixes droll observation with a dry, almost hypnotic delivery,” (The Onion A.V. Club) and with Knudsen’s unique style, “The personal feels universal, and the universal feels personal. The only explanation for this phenomenon is that it’s all finely crafted comedy from a strong central voice…a great stand up album.” (The Huffington Post)

As an actor, you may have seen Matt share the big screen with Oscar winner Sean Penn in the Warner Brothers feature Gangster Squad or you may also recognize him from his appearances in Emmy winning shows like Big Love, Boston Legal or Malcolm in the Middle just to name a few. Matt’s also been a part of several high profile commercial campaigns for Volkswagen, Apple and GE; which have aired during the Superbowl and The Olympics.

As a stand-up, Matt has appeared on Conan, The Late Late Show and Last Call as well as several festivals, including The San Francisco Sketchfest, Bridgetown, Laughing Skull, High Plains and the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal; where he was named a “Best of the Fest.”
