Matt Fried is a writer, producer, and sometimes performer, living in New York City.
Currently, his new play – A Charlie Brown Apocalypse, a comedy – is in production to run in April 2012 at The Kraine Theater in the East Village. In it, the Peanuts gang is re-imagined as born-again Christians, waiting for the end of the world.
From 2008-2010, he produced and hosted The Matt Fried Hour, a monthly downtown talk show, and its spin-off video podcast, Sleeping In with Matt Fried. In 2010, The Matt Fried Hour was named a Critic’s Pick at The North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival. As a performer, Fried has been seen at The Peoples Improv Theater, The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, The Magnet Theater, The Bell House in Brooklyn, Under St. Mark’s, and iO in Chicago – amongst a couple single others. As a writer, his work has appeared on The Moth Storytelling Series, Guidespot.com, and The New York Television Festival.
He holds a B.F.A. in Theater Arts from Long Island University – C.W. Post, plans to one day own a dog named Rufus, and still wonders why Alison Brie won’t return his @ replies on Twitter.
Thanks for stopping by.
