How cute is YOUR cat? Brooklyn-based stand-up comic and veteran Emmy-Winning TV writer, Matt Koff, is excited to announce the release of his second comedy hour , CAT MAN, premiering March 10th on VEEPS (and brag about his #1 feline).
Cat Man is an hour of purrr-fectly fresh stand-up material from the Comedy Cellar regular about divorce, middle-age and feline friends. Koff believes there is a real bias against men with cats. He says “People love cats, but men with cats make people uncomfortable. Including me. I’m a man with a cat and I’m creeped out by myself!” Also, said Koff, “I looked around and saw that there just weren’t enough stand-up specials. So I decided to do something about it.”
Cat Man was shot at The Comedy Cellar with some of Matt Koff’s long-time Daily Show colleagues including director David Paul Meyer, producer Asad Bokhari, and lighting director George Countas, fresh off his win as New York’s top Pedro Pascal lookalike. Art Director Becca Gialanella, also a Daily Show colleague, transformed the Cellar’s Village Underground into a 1970s lounge. There are a number of other comics from his 23 years in the biz, including a VERY special guest appearance.
Matt Koff had always dreamed of performing at the Comedy Cellar. He says “It took me years to get an audition there and I was so bitter about not getting in, sometimes I would walk past the Cellar and hiss at the club. Now I get to perform there and hiss at the audience when they don’t like a joke.”
Matt Koff’s second comedy special, Cat Man is out TOMORROW, March 10th, exclusively on VEEPS streaming service. Cat people unite (and F daylight savings)!
