Matt McCusker is a comedian, writer, and proud co-host of Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast. After spending much of his young life engaging in mostly non-violent criminal activity, Matt has dedicated the rest of his days toward the pursuit of peace and harmony. He has written two books, most notably his novel Overlook: A Story About Drugs, Disappointment, and the American Dream. He was also supposed to be on a local TV news show once, but they scrapped the segment. Matt seems to think it had something to do with the fact that he showed up incredibly stoned and didn’t really answer any of their questions in a coherent and satisfying manner. He is a stern, yet loving father and a sexually dedicated husband who ultimately places God above all things.
In addition to the two-item minimum, there will be an 18% administrative fee in the showroom.

Special Event: Taylor Tomlinson: Tries Out New Ideas
The New York Times opines, comedian and CBS After Midnight host Taylor Tomlinson “demonstrates tight joke writing, carefully honed act-outs and a ruthless appetite for laughs” in her second hour-long special, Look At You, now streaming on Netflix. With her third hour-long comedy special debuting on February 13 on Netflix, Have It All, New York Magazine adds, “Watching Tomlinson gives you the same comfort as a Swift concert or a Broadway show that’s been on for years. This is a professional. This performance will be ultra-produced. You do not need to be anxious,” and the Los Angeles Times observes, “Even when she’s navigating painful waters, she can’t help but find the humor… her wit and pinpoint delivery reveal both an incisive writer and also a talented actor.”
A TIME100 honoree and Forbes’ 30 Under 30 star, Have It All follows two critically acclaimed specials including her debut, Quarter-Life Crisis that first premiered on Netflix in March of 2020. Her first hour-long special went on to be named “Best of 2020” by New York Times, Decider, Paste and earned unanimous critical praise with The Washington Post calling her “your favorite quarantine-watch” and Newsweek dubbing her “undeniably hilarious.” With appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS Sunday Morning, Kelly Clarkson and more, the woman Mashable calls "whip-smart and spectacularly cynical" is currentlyappearing as a late-night talk show host of the outrageously funny After Midnight on CBS weekdays at 12:37a ET/PT.
