About Mat Smith
Mat Smith is a stand-up comedian and storyteller performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He has thrown his savings at the Fringe instead of going on holiday to Japan — he would've loved that. The Middle is a dry, witty early morning look at almost middle age, middle seats, middle children, being a bad bisexual and hoping it's not too late to learn to backflip. Mat has appeared on BBC Radio 4 and Radio Scotland, and was a Komedia New Comedian semi-finalist. Come with coffee, stay for the stand-up.
Why see this show?
An early morning stand-up show that's dry, self-aware and quietly charming. Mat Smith finds comedy in the unremarkable middle ground of life — and makes it feel strangely worth getting up for.
