About Me

Hello to everyone out there in the MySpace universe. My name is Matt Holt. I am a comedian from the great city of Indianapolis, IN. You can read more about me and my background at my website, www.MattHoltComedy.com. I hope to be coming to your city soon.

My Interests

I have a pretty varied range of interests. As most comics are, I am a student of stand-up comedy. Over the past several years, comedy has become my passion. Now don't get me wrong...I still enjoy other activities about which I feel strongly. Such as: getting free stuff at the grocery store simply by using the self-checkout lane, catching up with old high school classmates to find out which one is in prison and who has had a sex change, and, of course, seeking out everything in the Jerry Reed music catalog.

I'd like to meet:

Johnny Carson (My greatest influence, RIP) David Letterman, Bruce Springsteen, Dean Martin

Music:

Bruce Springsteen, John Hiatt, Delbert McClinton, John Prine, Johnny Cash, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tommy Castro, Jimmy Buffett, Dean Martin, Willie Nelson, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Joel, Bob Marley, Brad Pasiley, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Journey, Sheryl Crow, Santana

Movies:

Midnight Run, The Big Lebowski, Crash, The Shawshank Redemption, Walk the Line, Wedding Crashers, The Untouchables, Saving Private Ryan, An Unfinished Life, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, The Fugitive, Frequency, Rain Man, Old School, The Sixth Sense...and too many others to name

Television:

Letterman, Seinfeld, Inside the Actor's Studio, just about anything on Biography, Inked, King of Queens

Heroes:

Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Bruce Springsteen, Larry Bird, Don Rickles, Dean Martin and anyone who gets on a stage and performs original material.
