Matt did a wonderful job at our son's 8th birthday party. He was a hit with the kids and adults. He is funny, his humor is family friendly. His tricks were very entertaining and left some people gasping. I would highly recommend him for your functions.

SCHOOL ASSEMBLY PROGRAM:
Matt presents a high-energy school program that will inspire and entertain students of all grade levels, K-12. Drawing from his own experience of overcoming a life-threatening illness, Matt now shares his remarkable story with students across the country.

About

Matt started performing at the age of 13 and, along with his brother (Jason Tardy), apprenticed with professional juggler, vaudevillian, and comedian, Michael Miclon. During that time they also trained extensively at the Celebration Barn Theater with Mime Master Tony Montanaro (protégé of Marcel Marceau) as well as Broadway comedians, gold-medal jugglers, and Cirque du Soleil performers.

Matt has toured the country for over 30 years at theaters, festivals, schools, cruise ships and everything in-between. Highlights include the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, Disney Cruise Lines, the Golden Phoenix Casino in Reno, Nevada, and – three times – at the White House in DC.

He has also made appearances on local and national television including David Letterman, CBS’s The Early Show, Inside Edition, and CBS Sunday Morning.

Additional booking notes

I bring all necessary equipment for my performance. This includes a professional sound system and microphone.

For juggling workshops, I provide juggling equipment for up to 30 participants at a time.

Setup requirements

I bring all equipment needed for my performance, including a professional sound system and microphone.

I can adapt my show to fit almost any situation. For the best performance, I recommend allocating a 10'x10' unobstructed "stage area" with 8ft ceiling height. More space = bigger stunts!

I can perform my show outside or indoors. Given the option, I prefer to perform my show indoors, even if that means a smaller space.
