Here's Standupworld on (https://standupworld.com/standupworld-87-matt-ruby/) Ruby's latest standup special BOLO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaPEA5bfMKU): “Matt’s a New York comedy beast. He’s sharp, dark, and funny. BOLO is his awesome special on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaPEA5bfMKU)and it’s something truly worth checking out. It’s Matt at his best: raw, real, and ripping into life’s absurdities with a signature edge the New York Times called ‘button-pushing’ and ‘funny.’ His style’s a mix of cerebral gut-punches and pitch-black humor. We’re diving deep into how he crafted this one, what it’s like to sling jokes in today’s world, and why he’s one of the smartest voices in standup right now.”
Ruby's comedy has been filmed by Comedy Central, MTV, NBC/Seeso, and FOX.
