About this site

Hey. I’m Matt Ruby (matt@mruby.com) and this is Sandpaper Suit, a comedy blog I started in 2006. About me: I'm a standup comic in NYC. Watch a clip of me performing, read my bio, or see a list of my upcoming shows. I've told jokes on MTV, in Time Out NY ("Joke of the Year" nominee), and at comedy venues and festivals around the country. I'm a co-producer of Hot Soup, a standup show that happens every Friday at 8pm at O'Hanlons in the East Village. Once a month, Mark Normand and I cohost We're All Friends Here, the live comedy chat show with boundary issues that's broadcast on BreakThru Radio. What's here: At this blog, I post 1) not funny stuff about the art of standup and 2) funny stuff — jokes, videos, etc. You can check the archives, search previous posts, or read the "best of" posts. More: Mruby.com tells you everything else about Matt Ruby that you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask.
