Mat Blackwell is a multi-award-winning writer, an overqualified philosopher, and a reclusive troglodyte who veers between feeling universal oneness with all living beings, and wishing that they'd all just hurry up and die. He has written jokes for performers as varied as Waleed Aly, Paul McDermott, Corinne Grant, Wil Anderson, Amanda Keller, and Barry Humphries. He wrote the funny bits of TV shows like THINK TANK, GOOD NEWS WEEK, THE GLASS HOUSE, THE SIDESHOW, WEDNESDAY NIGHT FEVER, and ROOM 101, amongst many other things. That bit you loved? That was probably him. He also co-created and co-wrote the repeatedly internationally-awarded sharehouse-black-comedy-meets-convict-period-drama BRUCE, starring (amongst others) Angus Sampson and Rich Davies. He's also a neurodivergent antifascist psychedelic vegan atheist with a shoe-size of 9 and a half, if that helps.
