Comic of the Week: Matt McCarthy
Matt McCarthy is irresistible. He's one of those fearless performers who invests every muscle and movement in a bit. Whether performing stand-up, sketch or one of his bravado-drenched, creepy characters, McCarthy is always fully present and in perfect form. Hell, even his myspace profile shows how committed to a gag he can be; take a look at his Top Friends:
He's also one of those guys you just like having around when he's not performing. Endlessly playful and supportive of his friends in the comedy community, Matt is someone you think of when you find yourself pondering where New York comedy is going (you do often find yourself pondering that, don't you...it's not just me...).
If you haven't seen him before, good news! Matt hosts a weekly show called MAX in Sadie's Lounge at Mo Pitkin's every Wednesday at 8:00. Plus, you can regularly see him perform at shows like The Kissing Booth at D-Lounge (with Brandy & Sara, two of our other favs) and The Drink at Work Show (no plug intended). He also writes and performs sketch comedy with the charming Katina Corrao in The Matt and Katina Show.
So check out Matt McCarthy and be a winner. He gets the DAW seal of authenticity.

That shot of Matt in the dress makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it.
It's like the Playbill cover for the East German production of Annie.
McCarthy has done so much for us and our show- we love the man. Fearless. And always fucking hilarious. And, he showed me his balls numerous times in that Annie get up.
So there's that.
