MATTHEW HARDY

Matthew Hardy is a Melbourne-based comedian and comedy writer who was the first Australian to cement himself full-time on the UK live circuit.

A regular at many international stand-up comedy events, he is renowned for his sly, sarcastic one-liners.

Matt’s TV credits include hosting two series of The Big Schmooze, Foxtel's only Tonight Show on The Comedy Channel and appearing as a panelist/roving reporter on ABC-TV's The Fat.

He was part of the UK The Sketch Show writing team, and subsequently for Kelsey Grammer's sketch series on FOX in the US. Hardy also appeared in the last Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his own take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, along with special guest Julie Dawn Cole, who portrayed Veruca Salt in the 1971 film.

"In heaven, everyone will be as naturally funny as Matthew Hardy".
