By all accounts, Gavin Matts has carved a successful path for himself as a comedian, actor and writer at the young age of 30. But he can’t shake the feeling that he came into show business at the tail end and he’s mourning the possibilities that no longer seem as attainable as they once were. Gavin and Marc talk about the changes in the world of comedy, the struggles of local comedy clubs, and the rise of arena shows. Gavin also explains how he was influenced by the pace of comedians like Todd Barry, Hannibal Buress and Chelsea Peretti, and why, in the end, he probably should have been a fisherman.Learn more about our sponsor NOCD by going here - https://learn.nocd.com/wtf Sign up here for WTF+ to get the full show archives and weekly bonus material! https://plus.acast.com/s/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast.

Alright, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers, what the fuck buddies, what the fuck nicks, what's happening? I'm Marc Maron, this is my podcast. WTF, welcome to it. I imagine you chose it. You didn't just walk in, wonder what's going on here. What's happening here? Who's this guy? Who's he talking to? I don't think I've ever heard of that guy.
That's the interesting thing about when people see me post the guests on a social media platform. You know, people are like, who? Like, that's my fucking problem? Look it up, fuck. Who? Today we got a Canadian fella. Canadian fella on the show. Gavin Matz, he's a writer and a comedian. He's also in the cast of Season 4 of Hacks, which premieres today on Max.
He's got a special out called Progression, available on YouTube. And he was brought to my attention by the woman who opens for me on the road, Allie Makowski. So I figured, okay, well, if these youngsters... Vielen Dank. What's going on with you? How are you holding up? How are you adapting to authoritarianism? It's all happening so quickly, isn't it?
