He has also performed at comedy festivals in Edinburgh, Brighton and Leicester with versions of his solo topical comedy show “Some News” that dissects the news and how we use it.
Matt Richardson is a multi-award winning stand-up comedian and one of the most exciting names on the circuit currently rising through the ranks. Having started stand-up in 2009 at 18 years old, Matt became one of the youngest comedians on the circuit and soon made it through to the finals of two national stand-up competitions – the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny and the Chortle Student Comedy Award – as well as coming runner up in the Reading Comedy Festival New Act of the Year and winning the Newbury and Bath Comedy Festival new act competitions ‘ – all while still in his teens. He quickly established himself in all of the major comedy club chains in the UK and has gigged overseas on countless occasions.

Monday 5 May 2025: Wokingham May Fayre

Wednesday 16 July 2025: Swimathon
The Wokingham Lions Swimathon returns this summer offering a great low-cost fundraising opportunity for charities, schools and community groups.
The date has been set for Wednesday 16th July 2025 starting at 10am and finishing at 3pm. The new daytime slot is designed so that schools as well as charities can get involved.
A Lions Club spokesman said, “Whilst the pilot event last year was very successful, with total funds raised exceeding £12,500, we thought having it on a Saturday Night made it inaccessible for some groups to take part. By having it close to the end of the summer term, many schools could find this a great opportunity to fundraise. Pupils of any age can enter, provided they are aged 8 or over on 16th July 2025. However, our thoughts are aimed at pupils in year 6, who will be moving onto their Secondary School in September, and those in years 11 and 13 who are finishing stages of their education. Taking part in the Swimathon with their fellow pupils, would be a wonderful way to support their school and mark the end of their Primary or Secondary education.”
Charities and community groups are also more than welcome.
