Matthew Broussard at Mic Drop Comedy Detroit

There is a special pleasure in a punchline you did not see coming—and an even better one when you realize the clue was there all along. Matthew Broussard's heady, self-effacing comedy rewards people who enjoy a little cleverness with their Saturday plans.

Broussard worked as a financial analyst before building television credits that include Conan, The Tonight Show and his own Comedy Central Half Hour. Those appearances offer a place to recognize his name. The live booking gives you the chance to follow the stand-up behind the credits, choosing a show around the comic perspective that made you curious.

He’s also the creator of Monday Punday, a webcomic and puzzle project. That creative outlet gives people who enjoy wordplay another reason to take an interest in his work. Make this a discovery with someone who likes an intelligent comic voice that can also laugh at itself. You can appreciate the background without treating the outing like a class.

Make your Saturday about the punchline, not the spreadsheet. Matthew Broussard has a 6:00 show for anyone who likes comedy with a little brainpower.
