I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a stand-up comic. Find out more about me being a stand-up comic at www.mattrohr.com .

I write a blog. Sometimes it's funny, other times it's not.

I posted clips of me doing stand-up. They are old clips with old jokes. Which means that if I post a new clip I'm telling the same jokes only now I don't think they're funny.

Do you want to be my friend now?

My Interests

Comedy. Drinking Coffee. Doing Laundry. Goofing off.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with more money than brains who thinks I am amazing.

Music:

Radiohead. Wilco. My Morning Jacket. Gomez. Elliot Smith. Neutral Milk Hotel. Chuck Mangione.

Books:

Kurt Vonnegut. Charles Bukowski. Magazines about sports.

Heroes:

Other comics named Matt.
