Rick Matthews
Overview
Rick Matthews has a point of view that differs from those that are usually born out of small town life. Taking the bumpy points from his road of life and turning them into fodder for your enjoyment and his own personal therapy session are what have quickly earned him a reputation in the Western New York comedy community. Rick has opened for various national headliners, including Rich Vos, Jim Florentine, Alisa Wood, and most recently, featured for a sold out Doug Stanhope. Rick is the Co-Founder of the Rust Belt Comedy Tour, and co-hosts an open mic at Mr Goodbar in Buffalo, NY every Wednesday. He has been the MC of many comedy showcases, including at The Comedy Club in Rochester

About
Rick Matthews was raised in a small farm town south of Buffalo, but has a point of view that differs from those usually bred from small town life. He uses the audience as his own personal therapy session, working out the issues that keep him up at night, all for their enjoyment. He has earned himself a reputation in the comedy community as a every man with an edge, a nice guy with a dark side, and a fat guy with a stain on his shirt. Locally he has taken the reigns at the longest running mic in Buffalo, renaming it the Rust Belt Comedy Showcase.
