Matt Stellingwerf

As punishment for his self-aggrandising craftiness and deceitfulness, Sisyphus was forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down whenever it neared the top, consigning him to an eternity of useless efforts and unending frustration. Join award-winning comedian Matt Stellingwerf as he rolls his own boulder... searching for meaning in a life, seemingly, wasted. From his worthless PhD to his obsession with Wikipedia. From the pointless lies he tells to the hubris of thinking he's worth listening to in the first place. Is there joy to be found in uselessness? Maybe...

Matt has won four NZ Comedy Guild Awards, including Best Newcomer, and been nominated for the much coveted Billy T Award, as well as several others.
