A COMEDY SHOW [FOR THE UNCERTAIN] [ABOUT FAVORING THE UNFAMILIAR]
The sixty minute show follows the evolution of veteran performer Matt Davis’ ideas as they have developed while performing and traveling through over 250 cities across more than 40 countries. It’s a hilarious and fun evening of challenging ideas as Matt presents an outsider’s voice on topics from the grandiose to the banal. While joking about even the largely accepted norms of language, nationality, and global or regional customs, he interweaves laughable experiences with sobriety, censorship, and the dangers of relative social norms.
It is a highly personal narrative where Davis is often playing the fool: a foil to his own ideas, the world-traveled performer offers up a studied cross-examination of his experiences; all with the single aim to dismiss, mock, and laugh-at the equation “familiar equals good.”

In 2015 he launched the World in Jest project to embody the belief that real and imagined borders can be crossed when people prioritize communities of shared interest. By connecting with communities of performing artists across the globe, the project was able to produced over 100 performances across 30 countries in its 13 months, and Matt was able to work with over 200 established and emerging artists he had not previously known. Having evidenced its hypothesis, the World in Jest project was closed. While continuing to tour internationally, Matt Davis has begun working on a larger project and accompanying one hour show to embody his ethos more fully.
