Matt Friend
Matt Friend is an old soul in the body of a 26-year-old comedian, actor, and impressionist. A 2020 graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School, Matthew’s love for comedy and entertainment began at the tender age of four after watching Austin Powers and mimicking the characters’ voices. His passion has since propelled him to great heights, amassing over 1 million followers on TikTok, Snap, Instagram, Facebook, and other social platforms.
Matt has graced major shows like The Howard Stern Show, MSNBC, the Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, NBC’s New York Live TV, Good Day LA, Good Day NY, Good Morning Washington, and WGN. In 2019, he won Kenan Thompson’s Ultimate Comedy Experience at Carolines on Broadway. Known for his impressive repertoire of over 250 impressions, from Rami Malek to Timothee Chalamet, Matt recently hosted the 2024 NHL Awards, achieving the highest ratings and viewership in league history. He also surprised President Joe Biden with a performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner alongside SNL star Colin Jost and headlined the Netflix Is A Joke Festival during his nationwide standup comedy tour.
A beloved comedic figure on social media, stages, and red carpets worldwide, Matt continues to captivate audiences with his stand-up shows across the US this summer and in London’s Leicester Square this fall. He has earned praise from notable names like Howard Stern, Jeff Goldblum, Paul Giamatti, Austin Butler, Dr. Fauci, Liev Schreiber, Sebastian Maniscalco, and John Oliver for his remarkable impressions. Matt has also made his mark in the animation world, lending his voice talents to both The Simpsons and Family Guy.
Matt’s meteoric rise has made him a “must-stop” on red carpets, with A-list stars seeking him out during Hollywood’s biggest nights, including the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and more. Now, he’s partnering with Bill Maher’s Club Random Studios to present his new show, FRIEND IN HIGH PLACES, launching in Summer 2024. Inspired by the late-night talk show format, Matt will get to know his incredible guests, discuss their rise to prominence, and delve into all things life, maybe even doing a viral comedy bit or two with the people he admires most - famous ones!
Impressions aside, Matt is a true intellect, wise beyond his years, and a student of show business, comedy, politics, and culture. He resides in New York.
