Episode 238 - Matt Koff

About this episode

Tim Drake interviews Emmy winning writer and comedian Matt Koff about his new standup special 'Cat Man' and his journey in comedy.

On today's episode, I have Emmy winning writer and comedian, Matt Koff! Matt's new standup special, "Cat Man", comes out May 15th, and I had the opportunity to watch the special ahead of this episode and I absolutely loved it! From life as a cat guy, relationships, writing in television, and the worst party Matt has ever been to, this special is excellent! I talked with Matt about getting his start in comedy, working and interning for The Onion, writing for The Newlywed Game, making his way to The Daily Show, his new special "Cat Man" and so much more. A huge thank you to Matt Koff for taking the time to join me on the show today. Make sure to go watch "Cat Man" on May 15th, and follow Matt on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com Thanks, Matt! Enjoy the episode.
