About Amy Matthews
Amy Matthews is a comedian who, by her own account, cannot get angry — a predicament she finds increasingly isolating as fury seems to be all the rage. Her show at O'Neill's (The Tron) explores queerness, the experience of being Best Supporting Actor in your own life, and what it means to love people on their sobriety journey. It also unpacks how a potion she made in 2002 somehow cursed the world. Running for 60 minutes, this is stand-up comedy that blends the deeply personal with the giddily absurd.
Why see this show?
A warm, offbeat hour that turns emotional unavailability into something genuinely thought-provoking. Amy's wry take on queerness and sobriety makes the personal feel universal, without ever reaching for easy laughs.
