Hailing from Cornwall; he brings true warmth and heart to the stage whilst finding some audacious laughs in the most unexpected places. Matt’s charm and talent have made him a favourite on the UK and International circuit and whether he is compering or performing a set\, he has the expertise to win over even the toughest of audiences. \n“A terrific comedian” The Scotsman  “A truly incisive comic brain.” South Wales Echo   “Masterful”  Phnom Phen Post\, Cambodia \nChris Washington made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2017 with his self-produced show\, ‘Dream Big (Within Reason)’ after taking all his annual leave in his full-time job as a postman.
