Jokes for September 3rd, 2010.

Bio
Matt D. started writing at a very early age, mostly just scribbles and his name. He continued to develop this craft and wrote short stories, tiny plays, and mini-books while in school in New Hampshire. Now he is writing jokes for you to hear at shows all over the East Coast or via echo if he plays near a canyon or cave.
Although he was called many names in high school, the Boston Globe is now referring to him as a ‘promising new comic’. Mottley’s Comedy Club is saying he’s ‘one of the best young joke writers in Boston.’ He was a finalist in the 2009 Giggles Laugh Riots Contest, was picked to perform in the Alternative Alternative Showcase at the 2009 Boston Comedy Festival, is a regular on the Rooftop Comedy front page, and in 2010 was voted both funniest comedian in Manchester, NH as well as overall Funniest Comedian in New Hampshire. Matt is a regular at the Comedy Studio in Cambridge, MA where he will be Comic in Residence in 2010.
Matt tells 10's of 20's of jokes during a set, so he is a very smart choice economically during these trying times. Matt's style is very quick, especially if you are very slow. You may need someone to explain the jokes to you, but please, not during the show.
