Introduce Yourself : My name is Matt, and this is me introducing myself. by Matthew Farrell

People often think I’m Iceman from the X-Men movies. I’m not! Born and raised near Woodstock, NY, I moved to Los Angeles 8 years ago to pursue my varying interests in the entertainment business. I've become a really great bartender in the process. Initially I pursued an acting career, but after a few years came to realize my true passion was writing, something that I've been doing since I learned to write. Maybe even before that. I'm not sure how that's possible, but it's been a while, regardless. In the past few years I have honed my skills via workshops and through working on my own material. I recently wrote a short comedy web series, which makes me the first person in Los Angeles to write a web series. I've performed at some improv schools and have recently been performing stand-up comedy throughout small venues in LA. As far as comedy goes, I find the funniest content is that which I can relate to, that is topical to my life or the world I live in, and that is universally understood among my peers. Smart, culturally referential and topical comedy is my ace in the hole. Well, that may be too cocky, but I just really wanted to use the phrase “ace in the hole”. I’m new to this site and am looking for like-minded individuals with both similar and varying perspectives on the world to collaborate on ideas and create some content. If any or all of this interests you, please hit me up! If none of this interests you, also hit me up, because I’m also single. Ya neva know! I’m kidding. Kind of.
