Matt Pugsley
Proud Bristolian, Matt Pugsley, may look no nonsense - but he finds the nonsense in everything. Offering a relatable romp through stories of working class misadventure and unorthodox approaches to dealing with whatever life throws his way. From observation quips to uproarious storytelling, from morose to mischievous, he is a versatile performer, guaranteed to be engaging and hilarious throughout. Pugsley has reached the finals of numerous comedy competitions, and proven to be a firm audience favourite.
