Matt Brown joins If This Doesn’t Work… for one of our wildest episodes yet. We get into his Kill Tony experience, what it’s actually like waiting in that bucket-pull chaos, why the Austin comedy scene wasn’t for him, and why he thinks most comics need to be bullied a little more.We also get into some much darker territory: losing both parents to cancer, addiction, acting out in high school, baseball, getting hooked on opiates, bombing in brutal rooms, insane road stories, and how grief, comedy, and self-destruction all get tangled together.Matt is one of those comics who can go from deeply personal to completely unhinged in about two seconds, so this episode goes everywhere: Kill Tony, Tom Segura, comedy club politics, dark jokes, weird jobs, Austin vs Baltimore, and some of the most reckless riffs we’ve had on the show in a minute.Check out Matt Brown here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattbcomedy/Poe Boys Prods: https://www.instagram.com/poeboysprod/Subscribe to If This Doesn’t Work… for more long-form conversations with comedians, creators, rappers, and other beautiful disasters.#KillTony #StandUpComedy #ComedyPodcast #BaltimoreComedy #AustinComedy #DarkHumor #PodcastInterview #Comedians
