Summary

A ray of hairy sunshine, Matt Braunger is one of those acts who pummels an audience with a constantly switching array of styles and techniques. Likened by Marc Maron to "a puppy who won't let go", he writes entirely on stage and chases universal emotion. We talk about happiness, faith, the importance of a point of view, shooting a sitcom in branches of IKEA, and tattooing a face on a scrotum.

1:08.5	phenomenal comic he's incredibly warm one of those people you could just no matter how successful he gets
1:14.4	you'll just always get the time of day off him he's such a warm lovely person to
1:18.7	to be around and a phenomenal comic it wasn't until after after we recorded this that I saw him properly headline a show.

1:45.8	that with an audience. He's just, it's joke after joke, after tag, after act out, after idea,
1:51.3	after fresh idea, and it's just a joy to watch him.
1:54.8	I saw him close a phenomenally strong bill which included people whose profiles were
