Matthew Crosby

My name is Matthew Crosby. I am a comedian. I come from Bromley, South East London. On my own I have supported Russell Howard (one date) and Josie Long (several dates) on their recent national tours, playing in large venues and theatres. This year I appeared for the second time at the Latitude Festival as part of Robin Ince's Book Club. I also took part in 2006's Book Club tour including a show at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London. I am a regular compere and am resident MC at clubs in Canterbury, Whitstable and New Cross. I did a bunch of competitions in 2004/2005 but ran out of talent in the early rounds.

I'm a member of the sketch team Pappy's Fun Club. We were nominated for the Chortle Best Newcomer Award, appeared on BBC Radio 2's Weekender and Radio 4's 28 Acts in 28 Minutes. This year in Edinburgh we were nominated for the If.Comedy Award (formerly the Perrier) for Best Show.
