Matt Banwart is a rising Stand Up Comedian, who has been fortunate enough to travel the U.S. telling jokes!
Matt has won over many rooms with his boyish charm and quick-witted jokes and stories. As a stand-up comedian, Matt has played clubs all over the midwest and starred in the Transparent Comedy Tour web series. He has performed in thousands of shows from Colleges, Corporate Events, Charities, Churches, and (way too many) Bars.
Matt loves to travel with other acts and might ask to bring his own opener if it's appropriate for the event.

January 16, 2022We hired Matt to do a show in our venues back room during the slower parts of the year, on a weeknight. The turnout for the show was great, Matt answered the questions we had ahead of time, and brought a great opening act.
Myself, and our staff got along well with him. He was super polite, and most importantly our crowd loved his stand up.

March 31, 2020Matthew did a show for us in Princeton Illinois at the Skoonerz bar and grill around May of 2019. I found his stand-up to be relatable and funny. He kept things PG-13, everyone enjoyed his set and we will likely have him back soon. He was professional to work with off-stage and kept the set running smoothly despite a few hecklers.
Hired as: Comedy Show, Stand-Up Comedian

Thanks, John!
It was a fun show to be on! I look forward to being back in your area soon! As for hecklers, at the show, they were completely fine, I think they had fun that night too after I got them to call down.

His comedy is fast jokes mixed with quick-witted stories filled with observations that keep laughs coming throughout! His generally clean comedy has entertained people all over America having played comedy clubs, colleges, private shows, and bars from Spokane, Washinton to New York City, NY. Matt prides himself on having comedy that is largely unifying, trying his best to bring people together in laughter.
Matt has been doing comedy for years. He started in college where he was President of ISU’s Stand Up Comedy Club, where he hosted weekly workshops introducing students to standup comedy by bringing in guests and hosting showcases. Actually, Matt is most proud of winning his second-grade pinewood derby, but the Comedy Club thing is a close second.
