First saw him last night on a repeat of Russell Howard. Why have i not seen him before? Brilliant. Perfect timing for perfect gags
Rosie - 23/12/2010
Not funny. He's just trying to be Ben Elton.

Matthew opened up for a gig I've just seen and was truly at ease with a tough crowd. His delivery and gags were cleverly constructed and funny. A class act and wait for some new material and go see him again, as he is my type of comic - clever and hilarious.

Saw him last night at the Highlight in Leeds - absolutely brilliant. Unique comic talent - more please

Matthew headlined at LaughterBox last Thursday and was excellent - a very tight set, packed full of well-crafted jokes with great delivery and timing. Very positive audience feedback.
Chris Williams - 13/01/2010
I was at uni with him and he was a comic genius even then.
Paul L. - 15/12/2009
Brilliant comedian - fantastic gags and delivery!

Saw this guy in Edinburgh (at a best of Scottish comedy night - I kid you not). he was outstanding. the funniest thing i have seen since I watched Frankie Boyle break through in Glasgow. He needs to play Scotland again and soon.
Bill Ryan - 08/09/2009
He has a new routine I saw him test at a new-material night, which is about genetics and, most importantly, it is the funniest two minutes of my life. There's just constant hilarity as he tries to explain and defend his hypothesis on genetics. Each line brings an outrageous new laugh; more funny than the last. I hope he keeps the routine, it's the best stuff I've seen at a comedy club ever. Honest.
Dan Bourne - 04/05/2009
Genius
martin Davis - 26/04/2009
Well done Matthew, long overdue
John Fothergill - 25/04/2009
Same as Mark (see comment below), I saw him in the Final and he was head and shoulders above the rest, but it was a crowd who appreciated well-crafted comedy and especially jokes, which Osborn has an abundant sum of. He was the only comic who i wanted to see more of. Definitely a worthy winner.

I saw him win the English Comedian of the Year. Effortlessly funny and the rightful winner.
Jules - 02/10/2008
Brilliant! Couldn't stop laughing for his whole slot. Would really like to see him again but don't like trekking down to Clapham, get a gig north of the river!
Lisa - 03/08/2008
I can hardly find anything about this man on the internet but I saw him on Friday and I and all my friends could not stop laughing at him Excellent one liners.
Lateef Lovejoy - 14/06/2004
I saw him at the respect festival last year and he totally stormed the arse off it! An exceptional performer
Get Carter - 29/03/2004
Very good. Very good indeed.
Hamish - 17/03/2004
Seems to me everything is down to the first minute. If the crowd bite then he is away. If not it is an uphill struggle.
Paul Thomas - 24/02/2004
Something of the zeitgiest about him...
Steve Day - 17/12/2003
Just brilliant.
Wil Hodgson - 11/09/2003
Fucking superb. A perfect antidote to the kind of bright and breezy shit that is too common nowadays
Paul Vittles - 18/08/2003
I gave him a great review last year but was really disappointed this time around. There was a mob in but he handled it very badly and resorted to abuse, which just isn't in character (and not appreciated by the sober members of the audience).
Rupert - 16/08/2003
Saw him at the Comedy Zone in Edinburgh. The crowd loathed him and he evidently loathed the crowd. Calling everyone "a bunch of Scottish wankers" repeatedly is just plain pathetic. Yes, I get the fact that he's meant to be unlikeable, but surely he should have some actual material too? Jimmy Carr does this sort of thing so much better. Osborn is without doubt one of the most dismal and unpleasant comedians I have ever seen.
MTJ - 12/08/2003
Saw him at Bar Code in London - cried with laughter. The man should - and I'm sure will - go a long way
Teddy - 20/06/2003
Compered him at Stand in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago and he stormed it. Very funny and a nice bloke too.
James - 09/06/2003
If you enjoy laughing then check this guy out. Matthew was the MC at my first ever live show and he made an instant and huge impression on me. The only non "name" comic I would go out of my way to see. Won't be a non "name" for long though.
Steph - 10/05/2003
I saw him in Warwick University and was not really impressed. I can not see him furthering his career.
Mark Doost - 28/04/2003
Absolutely appalling. I have never felt so sleepy in all my life. The act reached an all-time low when he stated that not many of the audience were wearing hats. Enough said.
Tom - 25/02/2003
He's great for ten minutes. Don't know if I'd want to watch him do this character for any longer though.
Paul Vittles - 01/01/2003
Certainly the most impressive newcomer at Edinburgh 2002. He had an incredible stage presence, made the audience laugh immediately, and had everyone's total attention for the short set leaving us wanting more - so come on Matthew, give us more
Fergus Tobin - 17/12/2002
A breath of fresh air.He uses his slight geekishness to the full. Very observant and non-stop humour.
Graham Phillips - 15/11/2002
Sublime
Russell Howard - 14/07/2002
Very good indeed.
Daniel Kitson - 14/07/2002
Genuinely funny.
