Matty Goldberg was a nerd who never fit in. Surviving a brain tumor at age 20 only made things worse. Stand-up comedy became Matty's only way to connect with others, advancing through the ranks of the New York scene, doing commercials with NBA star Dwayne Wade, and playing the legendary clubs of Los Angeles, he never had any close friends... until he met Angelo Bowers. After Angelo's tragic death, Matty was left once again living in his sister's basement with comedy as his only defense against loneliness, self-doubt, and depression. Having embraced the lessons learned on his journey, the simple message Matty carries is not only true in the world of stand-up comedy, but everywhere: Success isn't about fame or fortune or revenge or tricking someone into sleeping with you. It's all about doing what you love.
