Overview

Welcome to the stand-up reality of Wolfie.
His act is a “45 minute laugh vacation from the monotony of middle-age."

“Matt's comedy is dedicated to the sagging mid-section of the American public that obsesses over mortgages & marriage, minivans and mortality."--William Loeffler-

Casino comedian attempts to entertain 12 year old

Casino comedians probably get big laughs from intoxicated audience riffing on divorce, liquor, gambling and various vices. Although we gave Matt a month's notice that the audience was one big family and the age range was 12 year old to 90 year old, he seemed a bit unprepared. Due to social distancing we had the birthday party in a large field on the side of the farm. We put out a carpet for a stage and had a spot light pointing at the carpet. We had a microphone and loud speaker. Everyone sat in immediate family groups with 10 feet between them. I thought "Oh he will probably make fun of Covid and what a close family we have become". Matt seemed to stumble as he opened with divorced people jokes, not realizing that 4 couples were divorced, remarried, brought their spouses, and were acting friendly at that event. Dud. Then he tried a liquor joke, but grandma was the only one drinking lemon vodka with V8 (to be healthy). Dud. Then, he tried ... well, he said he was remembering jokes he could not tell because of the 12 year old sitting front and center. Dud. As Matt seemed to be spiraling into a Hitchcockian nightmare, the message came... "The hot air balloon was ready to ride on tethered flight". The audience apologized and raced to the north field to ride up and down in a real hot air balloon. The relief on Matt's face was priceless and the best part of the night. We appreciated the attempts to make us laugh and if we had been in a casino, we would have laughed. As a family, we didn't want to hurt our family by laughing at the family. We were a tough audience. So, Matt very funny as he can talk about our event for years to come and I'm sure it will get him big laughs. Thanks for trying Matt. (The grandmother with V-8 and vodka wrote this). P.S. As for divorce.... we don't get divorced in the Midwest because we have guns and we have fields... really big fields. LOL.

We had a small group of people and Matt interacted with the crowd the whole time. He did a great job, and I got a lot of compliments on the show, looks like I need to expand my venue a little larger and we will definitely have him back. Thanks Matt.

Top notch all the way around

Matt helped our club throw an amazing comedy show to raise money for a great charity orginazation. He was very responsive during the entire planning process. He was the MC for our event and he kept everything moving along and was very funny! The other comedians he brought in for our event were hysterical and everyone had a great time. In fact he have already booked him for our event next year. Matt is a great person to work with and we highly recommend him to anyone that wants a ton of laughs.

A show I could see a 100 times

Wanted to take a moment to give Matt Wohlfarth and his comedians a shout out for another spectacular show. I am the events manager for the Chartiers Room in Bridgeville Pa. I work with non profit organizations all the time to raise money for their respective organizations. I refer groups all the time to Matt because he puts on an outstanding and hysterical show everytime. He takes pride in his work and it shows. So if your looking for a night of laughs contact Matt. You wont be disappointed!

An great person to work for that knows what he is doing!

Matt was an overall pleasure to work with. He not only came the previous day to see what he was working with for the day of the event, he made sure he had all things he needed to bring for the show, all the comedians lined up accordingly with a featured bonus act, plus he came back the following day to follow up and recap the evening! I would recommend Matt hands down and would select him to work with again in the future.

Surprised!

Today the DSD Board reviewed the :Laugh For Event held on Feb. 18. Overall the event was a success. Matt did an outstanding performance. However, the audience did not give favorable reviews for Felicia and Chuck. Too much swearing and inappropriate adult humor considering the audience that attended. The Board was surprised to learn that Chuck would be the headliner and not Matt. Not sure if the other two comedians were informed of the mission of Don't Stop Dreamin' and the selective audience.

From the comedians stand point we all loved the audience that you assembled. I still look forward to teaching comedy at one of your facilities in the future. I appreciate you using my services and I will learn from it.

Matt has put two fundraisers together for me the past two years. He does a great job getting good talent to do the shows with him. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have a comedy show. Matt is a great comedian on his own and surrounds himself with other great comedians that compliment his talent.

Hilarious Comedian!

I had experienced an amazing night of laughing at a local comedy club, so I recommended Matt for an event at a Private Country Club. He was a hit, had the crowd laughing and interacted with them. I would recommend Matt anytime, and would definitely use him again in the future. He is a barrel of laughs!!

The Best Entertainer!

My husband & I wanted to ensure that our guests had a great time at our wedding reception. With Matt’s jokes, mission accomplished! Matt provided the perfect entertainment. He is hilarious! His jokes were light hearted. He got our guests involved & made the extra effort to make every one of our guests laugh. I knew I made the right choice when I noticed several of my guests wiping tears from their eyes from laughing so hard. Our guests are still raving about what a great job he did!
Wedding receptions can be quite boring. So I think it’s a great idea for couples to have a comedian at their wedding reception to liven up the event. WAIT, I think it’s a great idea for couples to have Matt Wohlfarth at their wedding reception to liven up the event!!! Matt definitely exceeded my expectations! He was a perfect addition to our day, and I honestly would have regretted not having Matt there to entertain. I can’t say enough good things about Matt! My friends and I cannot wait to see Matt perform in Pittsburgh soon.

FANTASTIC!!! Can we give more than 5 stars?

We had no prior experience working with Matt when we hired him for our rowing organization's fundraiser "Laugh Your Oars Off!". There is no question nearly everyone in the audience did just that.

We set a target to raise, and with Matt's comedy along with that of fellow comedians Tony Monteleone and Aaron Kleiber, we exceeded our expectations and are already planning two more events for next year with Matt.

From a comedic standpoint, it was nothing short of stellar. We had an absolute blast. The reaction from the other members of our organization was just as awesome. There is not much better that a great night of laughter with a solid ab workout as a bonus. B-)

If you want a great show, work with Matt. You will not be disappointed.
