Matt White
Overview
I bring morale-boosting levity to workplace events through stand up comedy, emceeing, and hosting.
My goal and skillset revolve around this: offering a chance for your employees or party guests to feel welcome, to let loose, and to build community through sharing laughter.
I have experience in a variety of fields, including education, finance, healthcare, and real estate. I have held customer facing positions in these fields as well as having had the responsibility to plan and implement morale-building social functions within these organizations.
In order to understand your precise needs, I would visit your place of business and build a solid act for a great event.
Thank you.

April 30, 2026Teacher In-Service Day
We invited Matt to perform at our In-Service day earlier this month and we could not have had a better guest. We are a large school district with teachers and staff ranging in age from early 20s into their 80s of diverse backgrounds and were looking for some fun and uplifting entertainment to cap off the day. Matt's background as a teacher sealed the deal. He was able to put together material that cracked us all up, but was of course totally appropriate for the school setting. A difficult tone to get just right--but he got it just right! He understood our wishes and delivered. If you have a professional development day or a workshop to organize I would highly recommend hiring Matt.

April 14, 2026Pleasant experience with Matt
We invited Matt to entertain our residents and staff at our year in review show, and he did not disappoint. He developed uplifting material with jokes touching on the news of the day to humorous observations about life through the decades. Our community especially appreciated that Matt took the time to stick around after the set. Working with Matt was pleasant start to finish.

March 31, 2026A lot of fun! A lot of laughs!
First time GigSalad-er here (definitely won't be my last!!!) and had to write a review for Matt White. My brother-in-law knows Matt through his work at Second City and IO and recommended him for my company's annual "Happy Everything" party (like the Oscars of our company where we give out awards, etc.). We've had magicians in years past, a mystery theater, and I think a mime once, but hiring a comedian was a first. Matt took the time to meet with us ahead of the party, really to get to know the culture of our company, the co-workers being recognized at the party, and personalized his material to US. Not just a generic "set." Everyone said it was the highlight of the day. (It was a Friday the 13th by the way.) We have never had anything close to this quality of entertainment at our "Happy Everything" and we're already working to secure him for next year (if he'll have us!). You're going to love working with Matt! MATT IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THANKS AGAIN!
