Wee, pint-sized, impish... here at Stand Up! Records, we prefer to think of Matt Kirshen as our delightful "pocket comedian". Sure, if he had been born American, he could just slap "Li"l" in front of his name, become a rapper, and wait for the cash to start flowing, but, as a British Jew, Kirshen has done the next best thing: become absurdly funny! Kirshen is already known to many American audiences as a contender on the TV show "Last Comic Standing" and to those in the UK as an attention-grabbing young performer at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Kirshen shines with his tangled tales of drug-laced hummus, autographing gun magazines, and speculation on just how gratifying it would be if his corpse could help just one medical student sleep with a goth girl. Far from a liability, Kirshen"s age should absolutely thrill comedy aficionados -- it only means that we"re in for decades of entertainment from this charming lilliputian madman.
