Modelface Comedy presents Comedy at Catawba

Nashville comedian Matt Taylor comes with an affinity for self deprecation and miscommunication. Like sifting for silver in a septic tank, his comedy can best be described as ignorantly optimistic. Most recently he has been touring with Rodney Carrington and a featured comic on Nate Bargatze’s upcoming standup series “The Showcase”. He was also featured on season 2 of Stand Up Nashville (PeacockTV, Circle) and has had the pleasure of opening for other amazing comics such as John Crist, Leeanne Morgan, Matt Rife, Joe List, and many more!
