Get your wallets ready and your laughter muscles warmed up! Comedian Matt Mathews is bringing his glorious mishmash of giggles and thriftiness with his stand-up comedy tour, “Boujee on a Budget.” Yes, you heard it right—52 cities across the United States will get a dose of humor that promises to be extravagantly economical.
Kicking off in the glamorous locale of Schenectady on October 25—because nothing screams “Boujee” quite like Schenectady—Matthews will make his way through the likes of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and even Los Angeles. To wrap up this grand financial comedy expedition, he’ll grace the stage at the Paramount Theatre in Denver on May 3. Who needs a trip to the Bahamas when you can enjoy 52 cities of budget-friendly chuckles?
But wait, there’s more! The “Boujee on a Budget” tour will feature a live version of his “Confessions with Matt” series. Picture this: audience members sharing their deepest, darkest secrets while Matthews dishes out his witty insights on their unfortunate choices. It’s like therapy, but you leave with a belly laugh instead of a band-aid on your emotional wounds. What a deal!
Reflecting on his roots, Matthews claims, “Growing up a broke, gay kid from the South, I always dreamed of being a performer.” A rags-to-riches tale, if you will, except he’s still very much in the rags department. Nevertheless, he evidently decided it would be infinitely more fun to risk becoming a comedian than to risk becoming a responsible adult. A wise choice, Matt!
Following the massive success of his debut headlining tour, “When That Thang Get Ta Thang’n,” which sold a whopping 100 dates—they could’ve built a small economy on those tickets—he’s now signed a “mind-blowing” deal with Live Nation for round two. Either this is a prime example of modern-day showbiz or one very ambitious bet. Either way, he’s thrilled, and judging by those bank statements, who wouldn’t be?
Perhaps the greatest irony here is that Matthews never imagined he’d be doing this, stating, “I couldn’t do this without the incredible support of the fans.” He must feel like a broke kid who unexpectedly found a dollar bill lodged in his couch cushions—except this time, it’s a full-blown nationwide tour. Boujee on a Budget is shaping up to be the comedic rollercoaster of the season.
Now, for the frugal folks out there: mark your calendars! Tickets will see the light of day through a series of presales, starting with a delightful little Citi presale on August 13. Why save money when you can just channel your inner fan and get the jump on snagging those tickets? The general on-sale kicks off on August 16—don’t let your budgetary concerns come between you and comedy!
In summary, if you’re looking to save a buck while enjoying some top-notch comedy, Matt Mathews has cracked the code. Seriously, they say laughter is the best medicine, and in this economy, who can afford anything else?
