Matt White is a comedic tour-de-farce. After realizing he wasn't good at real jobs, his insatiable appetite for outside validation and approval led him to begin performing stand-up comedy in 2009. He has quickly become a favorite of the Atlanta comedy scene. Especially adept at finding the humor in funny things, his comedy has been described as "soft spoken but hard hitting."
