  • Résumé

  • Johnny Mac hosts comedian Matthew Broussard, discussing Broussard's new comedy special 'Hyperbolic', personal anecdotes about his career, and experiences in comedy.

    Hyperbolic marks the full-length debut special from comedian Matthew Broussard, a veteran of Conan, Roast Battle, and The Tonight Show. In this sharply honed set, Matthew dives into painfully personal experiences growing up Cajun-Jewish in a WASPy Southern prep school, the challenges of millennial masculinity as the bread loser to a former pro athlete, and candid stories about mental health struggles in his family. Plus some oddly keen sidebars into grammar, etymology, pharmaceutical origin stories, and statistics.

    Matthew began his stand-up career 13 years ago aiming to leave his finance job behind. Five years in, he released a half-hour special through Comedy Central. Then he spent the next eight years on the road collecting stories, gaining a fiancee, and losing a father. His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational?

    Hyperbolic will be available everywhere comedy is streamed or sold on December 10, 2024.

    Broussard shares stories about his family, his relationship with his professional swimmer fiancée, and reflections on the comedy scene, including crowd work challenges and the influence of social media on comedy. The episode also touches on industry experiences like JFL New Faces and working on 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'.
