Matthew King, Some Jokes. Performance still: Alma Mater

“I was also thinking about titling it. At first I just thought, “Stand Up Routine”, and then I thought the pun, “Stand Up Guy”, and then realised it had the word guy in it (and that maybe that pun is too on the nose anyway), so then I thought “Stand Up Person”, but that is clumsy in a way that I don’t like, and then much later I realised that the phrase, “stand up” is ever so slightly (or maybe quite straight-forwardly) ableist. So for now it’s just, “Comedy Routine”, although, actually it should maybe just be, “Some Jokes”. I just thought of that now, which I quite like.”

– Matthew King

Matthew King told some jokes and tried not to offend anybody, last week on the 22nd April 2015. The above quote is from Alma Mater’s Facebook event page. Find out more about Alma Mater.
